Melissa and I share an enjoyment of this series, so naturally when I saw the latest entry at Sam's Club right before Christmas, I bought it for her. She inhaled it and then gave it to me for Christmas, and I spent a couple of nights with it before I devoured the rest of it in practically one sitting. It's a good thing these books are only released every year or so; they kidnap me until I'm DONE with them. The characters are so interesting, and the heroine, Kinsey, is so funny, that I savor every page. This particular one wasn't as funny as others, but the story and characters and plot were engaging.
The Santa Teresa setting and California weather are parts of the context I also find enjoyable. This particular plot centered on a mafia-like Italian, an unhappy attorney's wife, and a two-bit burglar named Pinky. I wondered how all of this would fit together, and it eventually did...very unpredictably and seamlessly. Kinsey's lovable neighbor, Henry, was gone visiting his sibs for most of this story, and I missed him! The ending of this installment, though, was more satisfying than some in the series. This one gave slightly more information about the satisfying conclusion of Kinsey's work... All in all, another good installment in the series. Only four to go...
