I enjoyed this story because it was a significant departure in Kinsey's usual modus operandi; she teamed up with two older detectives who kept the dialogue and action interesting and often funny. The search for the killer of a missing Jane Doe from years earlier was the premise, and apparently this story was inspired by a real-life case. The other part that was interesting to me was when Kinsey learned more about her blocked out childhood and even had a visit with her aunt. I can sense her very gradually warming to the idea of having a family, and I just wish this subplot had been fleshed out a little more.
The other part of this one that made it interesting to me was the way Kinsey discovered the fabric in a quilt that matched the dead girl's pants. The fabric, the people in the small town, and the earlier time and lifestyle were all things to which I could relate. It wasn't as dark and sinister as some of Grafton's settings, and I liked that.
Kinsey's spunk is still evident and I enjoy the unraveling of the plot twists; this was cool because it was a plot that merged with a concurrent present plot. It definitely held my interest as I worked through it and kept MOST of the characters straight. Either I'm getting smarter or this plot was easier to follow than some of those I get lost in!
