P Is for Peril

BOTTOM-LINE: Decent mystery, too much other noise. . PLOT OR PREMISE: Kinsey is hired for a missing persons case, a retired family doctor, running a nursing home. . WHAT I LIKED: The mystery opens with a nice quirk -- it's the ex-wife who hires Kinsey, not the current wife. Like all Kinsey's cases, it gets complicated really fast -- cheating wives, messy divorced families, a search for new office space, Medicare fraud, kids who murdered their parents, etc. . WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: The sub-story about kids murdering their parents and the convenience of some evidence that comes to her from Henry by coincidence really detracts from the story. . DISCLOSURE: I received no compensation, not even a free copy, in exchange for this review. I am not personal friends with the author, nor do I follow her on social media.

I have loved all of Sue Grafton's books except this one. The electronic version printing is too small, some words run into each other and there is no epilogue. It just seemed that Grafton was in a rush to write this book. Even her writing style was a bit different. The storyline was o.k.

I was enjoying the book, as usual with Sue Grafton's mysteries, and all of sudden...nothing!! I thought I was missing part of the book. It wasn't until I began reading the reviews that I finally realized that was all she wrote. She didn't finish the story! I'd skip this book. I wish I had!
