I read and reviewed the two books collected here separately, so this is basically just for my own records. I gave both of them three stars, so the collected rating's easy to figure. I did like the second more than the first, as I think it was a little pacier, and the story generally more interesting. Basically, though, these are popcorn mystery reads with an increasingly likeable protagonist. Kinsey was perhaps a little bland in A is for Alibi, but by the second book she's getting more compelling secondary characters to bounce off, and that's helping to keep my interest.
