Kinsey Millhone is a very straightforward detective for the most part - she goes about her job with confidence and aplomb, and almost never has to escape the trunk of a mobster's car or gets left in a pit full of poisonous snakes while the villain makes his getaway. Just goes through with her job, and gets on with her life. But I found the ending to be very sad. (  ) benfulton | Oct 28, 2009 |  It’s been awhile since I picked up a Kinsey Millhone book, but this one did not disappoint, moved quicker than the others, and help my attention to the very end. It’s taken me awhile to get into these books, but I’m finding that after each one I enjoy them a little more. Kinsey Millhone is a great private investigator who is just a regular woman working in the world. There is no drama associated with her, which is probably why its hard to get into them. She cuts straight through to the important stuff and doesn’t dwell on unnecessaries. This time Kinsey is hired by a man to deliver a check, not knowing the real circumstances behind it. She soon comes to find out that she was tricked, no one is who they say they are, and everyone is keeping a secret. I even had doubts about who the possible killer could be until the very end when all pieces started fitting together. blondierocket | Oct 7, 2009 | In her fourth adventure, Kinsey gets an intriguing visit from a man who wants her to track down a teenager and deliver a check. The man who visited her turns up dead and his bizarre and unattractive history is disclosed. His daughter engages Kinsey to investigate his death. The story is only mildly interesting, a typical lightweight mystery. None of the secondary characters are developed or attractive. The writing is adequate but certainly not a plus. Just another mildly enjoyable, light read, which will be familiar to those familiar with th eseries.

(  ) FMRox | Mar 9, 2009 | These books are quick reads. The plots aren't overly complex, they're just good little mystery stories. It's the kind of book I consider a "beach read".
