Journal Entry 1 by Paws4Books from Deal, Kent United Kingdom on Wednesday, April 8, 2015
Amazon Description:
‘My name is Kinsey Millhone. I’m a private investigator . . . female, single and self-employed, with a constitutional inability to work for anyone else. I’m a purist when it comes to justice, but I’ll lie at the drop of a hat. Inconsistency has never troubled me . . .’

It was late October, the day before Halloween. He introduced himself as Alvin Limardo. The job he hired Kinsey to do seemed easy enough . . . until his cheque bounced. His real name was Dagett. John Dagett. Ex-con. Inveterate liar. Chronic drunk. And dead.

The cops called it an accident – death by drowning. Kinsey wasn’t so sure. The man, it seemed, had a lot of enemies . . .

‘Heart-pounding, totally mesmerizing suspense’ New York Times

My Verdict:
This was quite an interesting read...it provided some insight into Kinsey - who she is and why she might be that way! I'm still waiting for some of the other characters to pop back in so that they might brighten up the story line...perhaps that wouldn't have worked in this one though!!! This is the darkest read out of the previous 3 books and you can see Kinsey letting her emotions get in the way of her job in this one! Jonah comes back into this one again...i suspect we might be seeing a bit more of him too in the future books!
