Product Description
'My name is Kinsey Millhone. I'm a private investigator...female, single and self-employed, with a constitutional inability to work for anyone else. I'm a purist when it comes to justice, but I'll lie at the drop of a hat. Inconsistency has never troubled me...' It was late October, the day before Halloween. He introduced himself as Alvin Limardo. The job he hired Kinsey to do seemed easy enough...until his cheque bounced. His real name was Dagett. John Dagett. Ex-con. Inveterate liar. Chronic drunk. And dead. The cops called it an accident - death by drowning. Kinsey wasn't so sure. The man, it seemed, had a lot of enemies...
This story was a meander through a town centre - just enough to keep you going - even when there were parts of the book which were simply not that good.
BUT you really did want to know who did it. The plot of twists and turns and hiccups kept me wanting to turn over the page and grab a quick chapter when I was waiting for a ride.
Then the plot unravelled itself at the very end and it was all a little too confusing for me to actually care who was related to who and why they did what they did. The ending was a little of a surprise which was a pleasure - I would read another book by Sue Grafton again.
