Summary: funny, suspenseful - another great kinsey mystery
Review: "B is for Burglar" is Kinsey Millhone's report on her search for Elaine Boldt, a wealthy woman who, instead of going to her Florida condo, has disappeared. Par for the course for a Kinsey mystery, the plot is memorable and not too easily unraveled. An excellent light read.

Summary: Almost Perfect!
Review: "B" is definitly one of the best Sue Grafton books and so far I've read 8. It actually deserves 4 in a half stars but 5 is too many. It starts off kindof slow but once it grabbed hold of me I couldn't put it down. The mystery was so complex that I didn't even take bets on the outcome because I had no clue at all. But it was truly a twist at the end that I didn't even think of. Kinsey is hysterical in this book and I especially loved her friend from Fl. Julia. Read this book! You won't regret it.

Summary: A Grafton Great
Review: "B" is for Burglar, the second book in Grafton's alphabet series is another winner. Kinsey Millhone her irreverent, feisty and always lovable P. I. takes on a case that seems pretty straight forward until an imposter appears, murder happens again and Kinsey finds herself delving into old fueds and mysteries. Authentic dialogue and realistic action add to the plot and keep you engrossed...

Summary: Not as good as 'A'...
Review: ...but that's not to say it was bad, either. I found the plot to move slowly at first, and it didn't capture my attention nearly as well as 'A' did until the middle of the book. Then things began to pick up the pace, and I couldn't wait to finish it because I wasn't sure about the ending. That's always fun for me, and it turned out to be a twist (in my opinion). My only real complaint is that I felt like there was a loose end hanging with the Danzingers. Still and all, I enjoyed it and certainly would never dissuade anyone who enjoyed 'A' and thought of continuing the series.

Summary: A very strong Kinsey Millhone offering
Review: A rich woman shows up at Kinsey's office looking for her sister, in what initially seems like an easy-to-solve missing persons case. So Kinsey jets off to Florida to facilitate the family reunion, but what she finds there makes her see that there's more to this disappearance than meets the eye..._B is For Burglar_ may well be my favorite Kinsey Millhone mystery. The plotting is tight and the mystery mysterious. Millhone's character and life are part of the plot, but it doesn't descend into personal soap opera. For people just beginning with Grafton's books, this may even be a better place to begin than _A is for Alibi_.
Rating:
Summary: Involving and enjoyable
Review: After enjoying "A is for Alibi" so much I was a little worried that the rest of Sue Grafton's series would be lackluster and dull, but if this sequel is any indication the rest should be just as good! If anything, "B is for Burglar" is superior to its predecessor. While enjoyable, Alibi was a tad too predictable - I knew exactly who the killer was the moment they first showed up. Not so with Burglar. I was still guessing right up to the end, which made it a lot more suspensefull to read. The case in this one is also more difficult since no one really knows the truth about what happened (is Elaine really missing? If not where is she? If she is, is she still alive or has she been killed?). I would highly reccomend this to anyone who likes mysteries, and I can't wait to continue following Kinsey's adventures!

Summary: excellent
Review: An excellent book for mystery lovers. I've just discovered Sue Grafton and started from the beginning (A is for Alibi). I read this book in 1 week (which is great for a Mom with 2 toddlers). I highly recommend it.
