In Las Vegas, a young college graduate is murdered when he is unable to pay back a loan funded by notorious criminal Lorenzo Dante. Two years later, private investigator Kinsey Millhone finds herself assisting to apprehend a shoplifter - Audrey Vance. Events take a much darker turn when Audrey's body is discovered beneath the Cold Spring Bridge, a local suicide spot. Unable to believe she took her own life, Audrey's fiance Marvin Striker hires Kinsey to investigate. It soon emerges that the shoplifter had become caught up in a much larger operation. Meanwhile Lorenzo Dante has begun to grow weary of his life in organised crime and is frustrated with his violent and impulsive younger brother Cappi. While the police net begins to close in on him. Dante meets the beautiful Nora, who exerts a powerful pull over the gangster. As Kinsey's enquiries reach a dramatic head, it becomes clear that she and Dante have one thing in common - they must be careful who they trust...

At first I wasn’t sure about this, there didn’t seem to enough Kinsey but on looking back she had appeared by Chapter Two. Maybe I just couldn’t see where we could be going with Philip, Nora, Dante, Pinky etc. Because there were no other journals with reviews, I looked on Amazon to find out what other people thought and found one that said “I found this a bit uninteresting, and started skimming it, wanting to get to the principal characters.”, so I’m not alone. Having said that we soon got into the sway of Kinsey’s complicated life and the pace kept picking up to the end.

NB this is a cancelled library book.

Sending on to a bookcrosser whose Sue Grafton spiral stalled.

Thank you so much for this, you have literally made my week as I've been seriously ill lately (and even had an anaphylaxis shock to some medication I was given) so I've just been resting and not doing much so these books are a welcomed surprise especially after I have recently finished "U" (JE on its way when I feel up for writing about the book).

Really can't thank you enough! Can't wait to read these.

Read this one a little while ago, but as usual, I remember the storyline and what I felt in the moment when reading this.

I always enjoy a Kinsey Millhone book but this one left a bit to be desired. I did enjoy following the events and the storyline with Lorenzo Dante definitely got me addicted to the book, but there was just something missing overall when it came to this one.

Dropped this off at the bookshelf at the back
