B is for Burglar, from Sue Grafton's #1 New York Times bestselling Kinsey Millhone Alphabet mystery series Although business has been slow lately for P.I. Kinsey Millhone, she's reluctant to take on the case of locating Beverly Danziger's sister Elaine Boldt. It's a small matter that Beverly should be able to handle herself. So why is she enlisting Kinsey's services? Beverly claims she needs Elaine's signature on some documents so that she can collect a small inheritance. But the whole affair doesn't sit well with Kinsey. And if there's something she's learned in her line of work, it's to always follow your instincts... Kinsey's hunch proves true when she begins her inquiries into Elaine's whereabouts and discovers that the attractive widow was last seen in a flashy lynx coat boarding a plane for Boca Raton. But the more Kinsey searches for Elaine the more questions she encounters. Is Elaine's disappearance tied in to the brutal murder several months ago of one of her bridge partners? And what happened to Elaine's Persian cat who seems to have also vanished? Things take a turn for the worse when a stranger vandalizes the home of one of Elaine's neighbors and another neighbor turns up murdered. With her reputation and career on the line, Kinsey risks all to find a missing woman and a killer who's waiting in the shadows to strike again...

This one is my very favorite of the Kinsey Millhone mysteries.
My first encounter with it was actually as an audiobook that my friend's mom had playing in the car when she picked me up one night for a sleepover (this was in junior high). It was super scary and exciting, and the next week I got the book from my library and read my little heart out.
Throughout junior high and high school I would get the audio version of this book and play it while cleaning my room. It was bliss. And whenever I want a good action book (it's not really a mystery anymore) this is inevitably the one I choose.
I was not a big fan of the first book but this one is really good.
An enjoyable read. I found it a little slow and overly descriptive in the early parts of the book but I found the latter part much faster and enjoyed the ending.
