B Is for Burglar 
asked by rafit on November 29, 2006 11:16 AM
Finding wealthy Elaine Boldt seems like a quickie case to Kinsey Millhone. The flashy widow was last seen wearing a $12,000 lynx coat, leaving her condo in Santa Teresa for her condo in Boca Raton. But somewhere in between, she vanished. Kinsey's case goes from puzzling to sinister when a house is torched, an apartment is burgled of worthless papers, the lynx coat comes back without Elaine, and her bridge partner is found dead. Soon Kinsey's clues begin to form a capital M -- not for missing, but for murder: and plenty of it.

Would buy from seller again. My second read in Grafton's series. Not sure I am hooked yet!

Great story, winner of private eye writers Shamus award. 5 star. Lousy presentation - take off a star. The type in this edition of the book is just too, too small. Really denigrates the reading experience. Publisher, Bantam, was too concerned about the number of pages being printed it seems. Check out other editions before buying this one, you'll regret it if you don't. I know do.
