Summary: Sue Grafton does it again
Review: Someone once told me that Sue Grafton's book were for women only. Well, he could not have been any more wrong. The Alphabet series is a wonderful series of books and I have read A through H at this point and will continue until I get to the end.
This time, Kinsey gets involved in investigating claims to an insurance company that seem fraudulent and she ends up infiltrating an insurance fraud gang as a result. It is Kinsey Millhone and Sue Grafton at their best. Don't Miss it! I loved it.

Summary: Kinsey is tough, funny, stubborn and real.
Review: Sue Grafton has outdone herself. What a PI. What a woman. She's real not some fluff headed heroine. It left me wanting more. The only shame is that there are only 26 letters in the alphabet.

Summary: 'H' is For Homicide
Review: Sue Grafton's "H" is For Homicide is a thrilling adventure right from the get-go. The tale begins on a dark drive home at three in the morning. Kinsey Millhone had just finished one of her cases and was looking for a quiet weekend at home. Unfortunately she should have stayed at the hotel but her longing for home brought her back to Santa Teresa. Upon arrival, Kinsey finds her friend and co-worker, Parnell Perkins, dead in front of their work, California Fidelity. Besides trying to get on with her life, Kinsey is asked to check out an insurance claim that raises to the surface and smells like fraud. Bibianna Diaz was the one responsible for the claim. After tracking her down, Kinsey begins to gain Bibianna's trust as a possible buyer for her home. Unfortunately though Bibianna is running from someone worse than the police. She left her fiancé Raymond Maldonado, who doesn't like to be crossed. Raymond being the hostile, mob boss and head of the whole insurance fraud scandal has the inability to take no for an answer. Soon Kinsey finds herself in the middle of the problem when Bibianna is kidnapped and Kinsey comes along for the ride. Now Kinsey needs to find a way out and uncover Raymond's insurance scam without getting caught in the middle of Bibianna and Raymond's own love- hate war and before her true identity is discovered. This is a good book for those who like adventure and know how hard it can be in the middle of a love-hate relationship. Like every love affair this book has some complications that can lead you off into many different directions which may be confusing but in the end they all string together in the final chapter. If you want high pace excitement and thrills of high rolling stakes, this is the book for you.

Summary: What a trip!
Review: This is quite the ride Sue Grafton takes us on this time!By the end of the book, Kinsey has lost her job, meets up with Tourette Syndrome and meets an undercover cop. Fabulous addition to a top notch series! You will not be disappointed.

Summary: Intriguing
Review: This is the first Kinsey Millhone book I read (due to availability) so I still consider it the best.
While investigating for the insurance company she shares office space with, Kinsey meets up with an old schoolmate.
The case is insurance fraud, and the story kept me interested
not only in this book, but the entire series.

Summary: You have to read it twice
Review: This one largely takes place in the Los Angeles barrio where Kinsey is (kind of) undercover investigating insurance fraud and murder for the California Indemnity Company. It's the last one in the series to have a major CIC connection.
You have to re-read this after you've finished because a final three-word sentence stands the whole plot on its head. An even better reason for re-reading is to savor Grafton's English prose style. When she gets a whole building to describe she slightly prolongs things too much, but I love descriptions like this one, of a garage "The late afternoon sun slanted onto the cracked concrete floor in tawny yellow stripes. The air smelled of oil, old tires. and hot metal."

Summary: A wild ride ...
Review: Thoroughly enjoyable reading. This was a good story, though not much of a mystery per se. There was one big surprise at the end which I never expected. Grafton's descriptive talents are best put to use in this book ... you can really taste and feel Kinsey's surroundings and the danger she is in. Good summer reading.
