I have begun reading Sue Grafton's books only after her death and that is indeed sad. I enjoyed reading this one, though I did have an idea as to who the killer was. (She has a subtle way of giving us hints as we read).
Next in line is the book 2 and I have a feeling I will enjoy that as well..
Kinsey's no-nonsense attitude makes reading definitely easier and the descriptions of the settings are charming.
