Intrepid detective Kinsey Milhone observes a crime in progress becomes enmeshed in a web of lies that extends across state lines and across many years. Kinsey's world that Grafton fleshed out way back in A is for Alibi is as vibrant as ever with her neighbor Henry and the cast of characters at Rosie's Bar. It takes a while for the different strings of the story to come together but the end payoff is worth it. I do find it a little difficult to take off my modern blinders and remember that these books are set in the 1980s. I catch myself thinking, "just use your cellphone" or "just google it." However, I do enjoy Kinsey's appreciation for libraries as a great source of information!
