Yay Kinsey!, 2008-09-27
Wow, a body in the quarry. Nothing quite says murder mystery like that. And nearly two decades later Kinsey is called in to do a little of her classic and quirky investigating. br / br /It's a good, solid mystery that relies just as much on characters and conversation as action--though I admit that does get a little dull after awhile. But if one wants a good subtle mystey, this hits the spot.

Cold Case, 2008-09-02
It's a cold case that Kinsey gets involved in this time. Lt. Dolan who is suffering from heart issues and is retired now takes it as his mission to help his friend, former sheriff Stacy Oliphant who could be dying of cancer solve the one case that has haunted him, a murder that happened years ago. A young woman remains unidentified and they are determined to give her a name and catch her killer. This story is based on a real life event. Though it drags at times, it is still a good book. We find out more about Kinsey's long lost relatives too.

Not as delicious as other entries, 2008-08-20
While I've been enjoying Sue Grafton's alphabet mysteries immensely, this was not one of my favorites. I initially found the non-fiction element to be really enticing and thought it would bring an extra element of suspense to the novel. This might have been the case, but I think the mystery that this book is based on is simply not that thrilling. Other reviewers complained about the subplot involving Kinsey's family, but I always enjoy reading about her relatives and her relationships with them. I did not particularly care for either Oliphant or Dolan's nearly constant presence as Kinsey tried to solve the murder. I would rather she had been alone and working with her wits rather than having Oliphant and Dolan along for the ride, bickering with each other most of the time. The book ends on an interesting note with the inclusion of a rendering of the Jane Doe victim that the plot surrounds, but the mystery just isn't intriguing enough for the majority of the book. Factoring in all negatives, you can't really complain too much about a Sue Grafton book since they are all pretty great, but this is just not one of the best.
