B is for Burglar by Sue Grafton

 This one was a fun one, but also kind of depressing. Not one of my favorites, although I did literally laugh out loud several times. What was depressing was the story; a missing woman that Kinsey has to fly to Florida several times to track down, and then has to investigate an older Santa Teresa murder to dig up some evidence on the missing woman. The housing and situation of the people is dark and dank and not a fun world to inhabit. Still, Kinsey's humor shines through.

A significant introduction in this story is that of Jonah Robb, who becomes a good help to her in solving this case and in later ones as well. One thread from A is for Alibi that shows up in this one is that crusty old Lt. Dolan asks Kinsey how she's coping with the aftermath of shooting in self-defense. 

Again, moments in this story had me laughing out loud. I'll have to mark them sometime so I can remember some examples. Right now (Covid brain?) I can't even exactly remember how the case all came together and who was whom. Sheesh. But it was a fun read, that I DO remember!
