Bobby Callahan was only 20 when an accident left him disfigured for life. The doctors patched up his body but they couldn't fix his mind.

Huge chunks of his memory were lost but he knew someone had tried to kill him and that the "accident" was deliberate. He knew he had the key to something that made him dangerous to the murderer but he didn't know what. No one believed him...so he hired Kinsey Millhone.

Three days later Bobby was dead. But Kinsey never welched on a deal. She'd been hired to stop a killing, now she'd find the killer instead.

Critic reviews

"Millhone's feisty, stubborn, resourceful, guardedly romantic, and willfully practical...our kind of loner." (Detroit News)

Spellbinding. Well written, I read these books years ago, and had forgotten how down to earth Kinsey Milhone is.

Terrific writer and a great reader

This title’s ending was lax. It didn’t solve the problem well. So the scammer was hauled off by the cops. And Henry got his money back. But I wanted to know more about the perpetrator. What made her do it?

I liked the story and characters There was a lot of swearing using the f word especially the first half of the book. I wish Sue Grafton would write without the swearing. I'll be looking for other authors with cleaner language.

Good story

What did you love best about C is for Corpse?

I really enjoyed the plot of this one. It was somewhat predictable, but still very griping I very much want to listen to the other books in this series.

What did you like best about this story?

I thought that the story was very fluid and believable which I find refreshing. Many of the books I listen to are not this easy to get involved in. I really wanted to know what was going to happen next.

Kinsey is hands down my favorite. She has the perfect voice to go with the character. I can't imagine a better reader for this book.
