Kinsey has more murders to solve as she heads to California in pursuit of the real killer. The ending has a twist that I didn't see coming. I always find myself guessing the wrong ending, and the wrong killer. Just when I think I know who the killer is, the author puts another spin on it, and the real killer is revealed.
Couldn't put the book down. Another winner.

N is for Noose
I adore all Sue Graftons Alphabet books & found this one especially good. Kinsey Millhone is a great & very believeable heroine. Though I sometimes wish she had someone - apart from Henry - to fuss over her when things aren't going well or when she is injured.
