I have read all the previous books int he Millhone series but this one dragged for me. I had to really push to read it all and would not have finished it if I was not such a fan of the Kinsey character.

Sue Grafton's books just keep getting better and better. Her latest book (V is For Vengeance) has a great plot and characters that we care about. (It also makes me realize how drastically technology has changed since the 1980s.) I look forward to W!

437 pages to tell a tale that could have been handled in 137. It's stuffed full of irrelevancies. Is Sue Grafton paid by the word?

Story was told when the private detective was 38 years old that allowed the old school gum-shoe investigation of an organized crime cell. Too much non-essential information to the plot as the other Grafton novels, but the finish was great writing -- fast paced and satisfying.

I was surprised how dated Grafton's Kinsey detective stories could become for me. This story, peppered with Kinsey's neighbors and friends in their 80's and their sister in a nursing home needing their support coupled with the 1980's lack of technology....Smith Corona typewriter, rotary phones, carbon copies...., seemed to drag on for me.The plotting has all of the elements one has come to expect from Grafton however. I won't be eagerly awaiting her next book in this series.

Amusing! Grafton invented the formula. Likable Kinsey Milhone, private eye. Mildly dated but entertaining as ever - every book in the series.

This had to be the most boring title in the series. Repetitive and took far too long to get anywhere. Hope she finishes with more of a bang in her last four!

large print is okay for me as well

Another great Grafton book. Just sad we are getting to the end of the alphabet.

Once you get past the rather slow beginning the plot strands pull you in and become completely engrossing. Some dialogue falls flat and, yes, it could have been benefited from some incisions, but Grafton weaves the strands together masterfully into a compelling read in the end.
