While there were some very slight inconsistencies and the plot wrapped up too quickly (I was hoping for a bit of an epilogue), this, my first Kinsey Millhone book, was an enjoyable, very readable, and fast moving romp. I will say that I skipped the two sex scenes in it for a multitude of reasons, not least of which was that as a guy, reading a woman describe things... well, it was not conducive. Anyway, that just makes sense.

I would like to have seen more of Con Dolan, and for Kinsey to have had slightly more of a personal life, but other than that, and wanting the afforementioned epilogue, instead of a paragraph note, this maiden outing from the late Sue Grafton was a good one for me.

Now on to a book I've been trying to read for months.
