This might be my favorite Kinsey Milhone story in the whole series. In this episode, Kinsey is hired to pick up a young woman, Reba, being released from prison, and they become friends in crazy escapades. Reba is a worthy opponent to Kinsey's reasonable advice, and so Kinsey is led into many dangerous situations. I enjoyed the rapport that these two developed, and it was cool to see Kinsey warm to having a friend.
In this book Kinsey also warms to a very attractive detective, Cheney, whom we've met before. But in this story, his romantic moves and conversation are exhibited in a captivating way. I was kind of anxious to get to the end, because he seems like such a good guy, that I didn't want the relationship to go south. I wanted brusque and prickly Kinsey to get to keep her equal partner and not blow it.
I liked the ending when Reba was able to outsmart her evil, using boyfriend and bring him down. It was satisfying to see him get his just desserts, which isn't always the case in Grafton novels nor in real life!
