Inside Reviews: The lady can write ... Any reader who needs a smart and sassy P.I. would do well to hire Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone ... "H is For Homicide" continues to show the author in strong storytelling form ... {It} finds Kinsey Millhone working on a case involving the death of a claims adjuster for a CA insurance company. The story takes her into the Los Angeles barrio in pursuit of a violent criminal, into jails and hospitals, and into a grungy bar named the Meat Locker ... Count on Millhone not only to corner the murderer but also to make a statement against the foibles of the insurance game. -- The New York Times
The 8th novel in Grafton's best-selling series is perhaps the wildest ride yet. The story begins with the violent end of Parnell Perkins ... {Kinsey} is determined not to get involved in Perkins' homicide, even if they had been drinking buddies and he seemed like a truly nice guy. After all, his case is unrelated to Kinsey's current one, the suspicious claims filed by one Bibianna Diaz. If Kinsey can crack the Diaz case ... maybe {she} can keep her job ... Grafton's skill with dialogue, her vivid characterizations and CA scenery are priceless ... There are moments when the tension becomes so unbearable that you are tempted to skip paragraphs out of self-preservation. -- USA Today
