"C" Is for Corpse

Rating:
Summary: Suspenseful and exciting
Review: This book is really good. In the book Bobby Callahan asks Kinsey Millhone, the heroine, who is a private investigator, to try and solve the mystery of who is trying to kill him, and subsequently responsible for sending his car of a bridge almost a year earlier. One of the results of the accident is that Bobby has almost no memory. This makes it hard for Kinsey because she doesn't have a starting point for her investigation. The stakes escalate when she realizes she is not only involved with investigating one murder, but three separate ones. There are enough twists to keep you interested but not so much that you loose the story. Grafton uses so much vivid detail in her story that you feel like you could actually walk into Bobby Callahan's living room. Kinsey has a "too-tough" attitude, which helps in dealing with people who are uncooperative, but she is also down to earth so she can get people to open up and talk to her.

Summary: Excellent read
Review: This early story in the Kinsey Millhone series shows the promise that this author has consistently lived up to. Kinsey's character isn't as fully developed here as in later stories but it is still interesting to see the early influences on Kinsey's life. As with all books in this series, this story is most highly recommended.

Summary: Kinsey Milhone is great fun!
Review: This is the third in the series and now I'm hooked. They just keep getting better. Can't wait to read the next one. Kinsey Milhone is a character that a lot of women can identify with.

Summary: C is For Captivating
Review: This third mystery from is another winner in Susan Grafton's msytery series. Susan's flair for the dramatic is very strong throughout especially when she discovers the culprit who is responsible for the murders. As usual one can gather a clear picture of each of the major characters and many of the supporting players in this thriller. The characters are tied together better here than in other novels as you aren't taken down any long and winding trails.... This one captivates my mysterious soul.

Summary: Sick at C; what will it be by Z?
Review: Though only the third book in this continuing alphabetized series, the plot formula is already old hat, leaving little mystery in this mystery. Too bad that Grafton, unlike Paretsky's VI Warshawski, doesn't add a political element or some other layer to make her books more dynamic.
