Kinsey Millhone : G is for Gumshoe (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries (Paperback)) Reviews
| 8 of 9 people found the following review helpful  G is for Good, but not as great as the usual Grafton book, By Paul Skinner (Manassas, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: G Is for Gumshoe (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback) Kinsey gets herself into two stories, intertwined, but not really related. I kept wanting the two plotlines to link up into a single story, but this never happened. There were several things about the book that were lacking. First, I never understood how the hitman got ahead of Kinsey in her trip down to the Salton Sea. I mean, come on, how could he anticipate which rest stop she would use? The killer seemed to have passed up several opportunities to get her, which also didn't make sense. And the Dietz character also didn't make sense. Yea, right, he decided to be her free bodyguard, then without much todo, he leaves at the end. The story was well written, however, and the connection to the 19th century sisters was well thought out. I hate to give Sue Grafton anything less than 4 stars, but this was the most dissappointing of the series so far (A-G). 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful  G is for Gumshoe is a fine addition to the alphabet series of mysteries featuring Kinsey Millhone by Sue Grafton, By This review is from: G is for Gumshoe (The Kinsey Millhone Alphabet Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback) G is for Gumshoe is another in the series of Kinsey Millhone Private Investigator mysteries by Sue Grafton prolific New York Times bestselling author. The novel is narrated by Kinsey Millhone. Kinsey is in her early 30s, twice divorced and is a private investigator in the a small California city.The Plot: Frail Irene Gersh employs Kinsey to find her elderly mother Agnes.

Kinsey is targeted for death by Tyrone Patty who has bent sent up the river due to Kinsey's good detective work. Kinsey finds protection in the arms of PI Robert Dietz. There are several close calls and a surprise ending to this tale. The book moves along at a jaunty pace with several twists and unexpected turns before the nettlesome case is solved. I found this novel to be interesting in its depiction of how a PI investigates happenings from 70 or more...

I enjoyed the double plots and also very much liked how Grafton brought in many of the characters from past novels and fleshed them out a little. Bringing back Dietz was a stroke of genius as it allows Kinsey to play off of a male version of herself. I see from other reviews that he will be in future books - can't wait. Overall the plot and suspense of the story were one of the best...it's definitely a don't-miss in the Kinsey series. |
