Critic reviews

"The eighth in Grafton's best-selling series is perhaps the wildest ride yet....Grafton's skill with dialogue, her vivid characterizations and California scenery are priceless....There are moments when the tension becomes so unbearable that you are tempted to skip paragraphs out of self-preservation." (USA Today)
"One of the best....A vivid, funny portrait of life in an ethnic underworld, viewed without judgment. Suspense there is, plentifully, and a final suggestion that Kinsey will be exploring different mischiefs next time. Outstanding." (Los Angeles Times)

This story was long, with plenty of threat and twists and turns. I have enjoyed this reader’s performances previously, but she outdid herself on this one. Very talented.

Really excellent reader

I could not stop listening to it. I really got into it I had to listen to it from start to finish and got it done in less than a day.

wonderful book

I really don’t care what Kinsey is up to as long as Mary Peiffer is telling me the story. I’m actually going through the series a second time.

I love Kinsey

great series

Mary Peiffer was a little more tolerable in this story. Her voice is so dispassionate that it’s hard to get involved with the character. The story is good and worth a listen.

Good story

The story was great! And yet again, Sue Grafton was awesome at delivering a completely different story than the rest of the series! Great characters including a few new ones. And the struggle for Kinsey with how she feels about Bibianna... she supposed to be the bad guy (in the beginning) but it's more complicated than that. Also, more interesting twists and turns throughout! Nicely done, Sue Grafton! And I love Mary Peiffer! I don't want to hear anyone else narrate this series! Her voice IS Kinsey Millhone! ❤ On to the next book!

Another great one!

A good performance. This is a different Kinsey Milhone story in many ways - Kinsey is less responsible for decoding when and where she is at any given moment. The nature of the story gives Ms Grafton a chance to include some more extreme characters than in other books, but she still adds a lot of depth to them.

Stands out as something different in the series

This is it now, I am all caught up with the series - obviously all read out of order since this is “H” and the series is up to “W”.

I adore the Kinsey Milhone character so much; I am going to miss not having her around on a regular basis! I’m going from 23 instalments in 6 years, to a new instalment every 2 years.

Will be sad to reach the end.

Sue Grafton can do no wrong!
