I enjoy this series so much. Trying to read them all! ( )

The third in the Kinsey Millhone series. This time Kinsey is helping out a disabled man who believes his car going off a bridge was no accident.

The interesting thing about this book was that Grafton gives away the twist in the story before it even happens which makes an interesting read because you really never know what's going to happen next. I was kept on the edge of my seat this whole book. I love how Grafton wraps everything into a nice package right at the end, waiting until the last possible moment before revealing the killer(s).

Can't wait for the next adventure. ( )

Bobby Callahan barely survived the hit-and-run that killed his best friend. His body's crippled and his memory shredded, but he's convinced that someone's trying to kill him and he wants Kinsey to find out what he can't remember. Four days later, he's dead.

It's about 2 months on from the events of the previous book, and Kinsey's mostly recovered from being shot and beaten and itching to get back to some serious work. She encounters Bobby in the gym where he asks for her help and invites her home to meet his wealthy & dysfunctional family, and after his death she continues to try and piece together what was going on.

Meanwhile, her landlord Henry Pitt acquires a new lady friend, but Kinsey & Rosie think that Lila Sams is trouble. ( )

Kinsey met Bobby Callahan in the gym on Monday morning. By Thursday, he was dead. He was convinced someone was trying to kill him and it turned out to be true, but no one figured it out in time to save him. Kinsey had never worked for a dead man before and hoped she wouldn't have to again. This report was for him....

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553280368, Mass Market Paperback)

Kinsey meets him in the local gym. Bobby Callahan is a scarred young man struggling back to life after a car forced his Porsche over the edge of a canyon, battering his body and muddling his memory. All he remembers is that someone, for some reason, tried to kill him. Desperate for clues about his own past life and certain he is being stalked, he asks Kinsey to protect him. Kinsey can't resist the brave kid - and neither can the killers. Three days late Bobby is dead. Kinsey Millhone never welshed on a deal. She'd been hired to stop a killing. Now she'd find the killer.
