Another fun little mystery, 2008-09-25
I can't help but love these books! Not only is anti-heroine Kinsey Milhone the bee's knees, but I enjoy those opportunities to see a more sensitive side beyond the fast-talking Private I. br / br /In this particular mystery, Kinsey innocently tracks down a missing relative for the reading of a will. But the long-lost brother is quickly murdered. The answers lie in the family's dark secrets and the younger day pranks of all the brothers. br / br /Not only was it another well-done mystery, but I found several aspects of it more emotional than usual. And I have to say I didn't mind. br / br /Yay for Kinsey!

One of the Best..., 2008-07-11
M is for Malice is one of the better books so far. Not only is there a compelling mystery, but we also get a visit from someone in Kinsey's past. I'm reading M, N and O in the three in one version, and there is a note from Sue Grafton about the time warp the character of Kinsey is caught in. I find myself wondering why Kinsey isn't using cell phones, computers, etc. and the author explains that since the time from each story is only a few months, not a year as the books come out, Kinsey is still in the 80's.

Malice and Crime, 2008-05-03
The plot is an interesting one. There is an inheritance of millions and there are four brothers to share it. However before anyone can inherit their money they must find the sibling that is missing. He has been gone for eighteen years. It is Kinsey's job to fine him. It is not simple and there is always suspense and intrigue when Kinsey is working.

one of my favorites, 2008-04-22
I've been reading all of this series in order. I wasn't sure that I would like them after reading the first one. I did not particularly like the way it ended so abruptly and I would have liked to have had the mystery wrapped up in a better fashion. I have felt that way about several of these as I often feel that I have unanswered questions in the end as to the whys of what happened. As I have progressed in reading the series, I have thoroughly enjoyed Kinsey and her stories and can't wait to start the next book as each one ends, even if I haven't quite figured it all out(usually I do, but would still like to have more explanations and answers). This particular one was a little different as I thoroughly "got it" (although I never suspected the outcome)and the story was quite interesting.

M is for Millhome, 2008-03-29
This is another favorite of mine. I always love the many adventures of Kinsey Millhone. Kinsey gets hired to find the black sheep brother of the Malak family. And, he is not welcomed home because bitter memories are not forgotten. Murder is the outcome of family hatred.
