Summary: The third book in the series
Review: D is for Deadbeat is Sue Grafton's third book in the alphabet series. It is perhaps her best, though. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading the book. I really didn't want to put it down, but it was 15 minutes until I had to be at work.I even read on it all day and finished when I came home. It was a simply delightful and suspenseful book. The characters were selected for this story with the upmost care, and I was amazed at the believablility of the characters involved in the book. I was pleased that the author provided detail of not only the characters, but also the action, so that, like other mystery books out there, you end up getting confused because of not enough detail or too much. Not so in this book; everything was just right. Get this book; I know you won't be disappointed.

Summary: WHICH BLONDE DID HIM IN???
Review: A fair read. Kinsey Millhone is given a $25,000.00 cashiers check to deliver to a 15 year old. A few days later the man that gave it to her turns up dead. The police believe he was drunk and fell in the water and drown but Kinsey belives he was murdered. She sets out to prove it. There are many good characters you met along the way. The funeral is fairly funny. Kinsely finally gets a witness who saw a blonde women with the man the night he died. But there are three different women it could be. You will be very surprised when the killer is found. The beginning and the ending were very good but I thought the middle of the book was slow moving.

Summary: I liked it!
Review: The funniest passages in this book involve the deadbeat's wife/widow (and she's not who you think in the beginning of the book) both at home and later at the funeral parlor. (Sue Grafton does funny funerals). When I first read this book, I snickered over the anniversary picture description, Kinsey's Sunday School memories, and her Wonder Woman sheets for days. Then I handed it to my mother and said, "you have to read this. It's FUNNY." She liked it, too. Like most of the "Alphabet" books, this one builds to a tension-filled last chapter, with the "respectfully submitted" epilogue that wraps it up for this go-around.

Summary: Not her best!
Review: Ok so it really deserves 3 in a half stars while 4 is too many. IMO I thought that it was a slow moving book. Not much action happened until near the end. I just finished Evidence which also starts off slow but it definitly picks up, while Deadbeat I felt remained slow. Granted, in a Grafton novel slow really isn't as slow as other novels. This books saving grace was Kinsey. She was as hard-headed and wise-cracking as ever. The funeral scence was hysterical. The ending was also a saving grace. It was a twist ending,though I figured it out,mainly because others reviews said what a twist it was. A must-read for fans of Grafton/Kinsey though.

Summary: Um...
Review: It's hard to enjoy a book when you're not rooting for the protagonist, and it's still harder to root for the protagonist when the protagonist is a potty-mouthed, dishonest, promiscuous head case. It is even harder to dismiss a protagonist as a potty-mouthed, dishonest, promiscuous head case when everyone else who reads the books thinks they're wonderful, and it's hardest to accept the fact that everyone else thinks they're wonderful when you know that it's probably because they're just like she is. The story was very good and occasionally theme-heavy, but I cheered at certain parts of the book and kept praying for Kinsey to die. Good books to read when you're angry.

Summary: Five stars just for the ending!
Review: When I started 'D', I wasn't finding the plot to be among the most thrilling, especially having come from the captivating 'C'...however, there must have been something there because I shot through this one. And, as the title of my review says, the ending makes the entire story worthwhile. It's not so much even the twist as it is the manner in which Grafton writes it.

Summary: Why the profanity?
Review: Okay, it had a good plot and an excellent ending. I will probably read more by this author. My question is "Why the profanity?" It was not necessary for the plot, the character or the overall essence of the book - It just sounded nasty and unnecessary.
