Got this in the mail today. Thanks, RaftQueen! Having checked with pgsahm as regards the 'A' is for Alibi bookring, I will probably not wait for it to get into the series. A slim book that I'd probably best read parallelly to the beautiful hardcover edition of Jack Faust. I won't take the latter with me on public transport.
A quick read, and a good one, too. The only thing that seems a bit odd is the lack of more modern information/telecommunication technology. Every now and then you wait for the private investigator to use the Internet or a mobile phone (or even a PC instead of a typewriter), but this book dates back to the middle of the 80s… Recommendable nonetheless.
This book is now on the road, forming an international bookray (B is for Bookray). Participants are (BCers with names and locations in bold print have already made a journal entry):01. Frank-63 (Stuttgart, Germany)
02. Buecher-Eule (Schwaikheim, Germany)
03. Muffin77 (Köln, Germany)
04. Prospero (Köln, Germany)
05. 16stepper (Arizona, USA)
06. PenelopePitstop (Lombardia, Italy)
07. Auro (Lombardia, Italy)
09. Robbiesmum (Lancashire, UK)
10. rern (New York, USA)
11. soulianis (Duisburg, Germany)
12. suzen (Seine Saint-Denis, France)
13. WistfulDragon (London, UK)
14. Lady-Mondegreen (Hampshire, UK)
15. tswiebel (Steinheim, Germany)
16. YOU ?
PM me if you'd like to join! I'm adding new participants chronologically, so the order might seem a bit confused, but it's only fair.

Journal Entry 13 by Buecher-Eule from Rheinstetten, Baden-Württemberg Germany on Thursday, May 15, 2003
Just finished A and reading J, but then I will go back to B again, because it's on a bookray. A was a bit boring, J is definetly better and I hope improvement will start already with B for better :-)
Thanks Frank-63.

It's much better than A, so if improvement will go on at this rate - beware of Z ;-)

EDIT: Why did I post my journal entry in German?????? I really don't know why I did it - anyway, it said that the book is with me and as of today (June 18th) I am a bit more than halfway through... it is A LOT better than "A is for Alibi" - I hope to finish soon so the travel can continue... =:o)

So I finished the book (finally) - and I must say, it was really MUCH better than "A is for Alibi" - the first book she has written. Towards the end her books get really good - but in between they are a bit boring...
-----
I will either give it to Prospero personally tomorrow - or if he doesn't come to the Café I will have to meet him another day.

Journal Entry 17 by Muffin77 at Postal release to fellow bookcrosser in -- Per Post geschickt / Persönlich weitergegeben --, Nordrhein-Westfalen Germany on Saturday, June 21, 2003
Released on Saturday, June 21, 2003 at Postal release to fellow bookcrosser in Cologne/Köln, Nordrhein-Westfalen Germany.Pretty dumb - mais c'est la vie - I send the book via German Postal Service (give your best!!!!) to Prospero. Although we live in the same city I have no time to meet him and hand him the book personally (which would be the much safer way!!!). Good luck little book!!!!
The German Post is not so bad as we all think - had it in the mail today and will read it asap. :-)

So I ended it - finally. I appreciated it a lot, but other things came in the way.
I liked it, it was a fun to read and I have now a new series that I can collect. :-)

Kinsey has successfully made it to Arizona. Adding to my stack of other rays.
Love Kinsey in all the books. Great to go back to the beginning and get the history. This was a great mystery. Kept me guessing almost as long as it kept Kinsey guessing. Very enjoyable read. Thanks for starting the ray, Herrundmeyer! I will try to get this out in the mail Monday. I'm on vacation, but should be able to find a post office anyway!
Arrived this morning, I have just finished E, F and N and now I am really curious...:-)
I liked it very much, but the more I read Kinsey Millhone's advenures the more i like them and her :-)
The book is leaving today and is travelling to Auro.
