Kinsey Millhone, P.I. is a 32-year-old, twice-divorced ex-cop with an irreverent, wise-cracking style reminiscent of Philip Marlowe - and a great pair of legs - who piles her trade in the small Southern Californian town of Santa Theresa.

Make no mistake about it, Kinsey Millhone is one tough cookie. When a routine insurance claim she's investigating turns into non-routine trouble - someone has put $5,000 in her usually not-too-flush checking account and made it look like she's on the take - Kinsey sets out to discover who has set her up and why.

The trail of evidence leads to the wealthy Wood family, which includes the three quirky sisters Olive, Ash, and Ebony. But she's not counting on the involvement of her long-departed ex-husband #2, who's gorgeous, seductive and also a junkie. And she's certainly not counting on murder . . .

Naar de BC-meeting.

Brought home with me from the meeting.

On its way to my bday buddy. I'm sorry it's late. Hope you will like it! :)

Thank you for this book, as well the other one, and all the goodies (the chocolate was excellent). I am looking forward to read it!

I realized towards the end of the book that I already read it many years ago, but still, I enjoyed it as it was the first time. I love this character, as she knows what she wants and she’s not letting anyone dictate how to live her life, as well her career. It’s also fun to have a story set in the 1980’s, where you still call people, sent letters and see them in person. Overall, it’s a good book and a good series.

i love this author and already read it -- i am making it available to be read by someone else
