From Publishers Weekly

Bestseller Grafton offers more of the same-old same-old in her less-than-inspired 18th Kinsey Millhone novel (after 2002's Q Is for Quarry). In this sexy adventure, the spunky hard-boiled detective has to escort the newly paroled Reba Lafferty, privileged ne'er-do-well, to her stately home, keeping her on the straight and narrow. Reba challenges the PI with her barely concealed hankerings for the now off-limits booze, gambling and charming Alan Beckwith, married real estate developer and former employer for whom Reba took a two-year barbwire vacation courtesy of the California Institution for Women. Lust is in the air as studly, stylish cop Cheney Phillips enters in his red Mercedes, fanning the flames with Kinsey, when Beckwith's activities catch the eye of the feds. Kinsey lends a supportive ear to her beloved 87-year-old landlord, smitten by a 70-year-old neighbor. Kinsey and Reba team up to get the goods on Beckwith, but reckless Reba has vengeful ideas of her own and more than once lands their collective fat in the fire. If the chemistry between Cheney and Kinsey seems forced at times, Grafton as usual creates believable and enduring characters and a strong sense of place in her town of Santa Teresa circa 1987. And that should be more than enough for most fans.

From School Library Journal

Adult/High School–Kinsey has been hired by a wealthy father to befriend his daughter upon her release from prison after serving a sentence for embezzling funds from her boyfriend/employer. It sounds easy, but the detective learns quickly that Reba's boss is still involved in a complex money-laundering scheme and is wanted by many federal law-enforcement agencies who want Reba to help them get evidence against him. Eventually she does, but there are problems leading to the exciting climax when the sleuth herself is kidnapped. Kinsey is young enough to appeal to teens; her lighthearted personality and witty asides amuse and entertain. Fans of this series will be pleased that she has a new boyfriend, but may be frustrated because her elderly landlord's family interferes.–Claudia Moore, W. T. Woodson High School, Fairfax, VA

5.0étoiles sur 5 Stellar read, Juil 27 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: R Is for Ricochet (Hardcover)
Three very entertaining books that I've read this summer were John Grisham's "Bleachers," Jackson McCrae's "The Bark of the Dogwood," and this book. All were great and while the Grafton is my favorite, I also would recommend the McCrae.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Will she never run out of steam?, Juil 22 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: R is for Ricochet (Audio CD)
No, I haven't read all of Grafton's books in the alphabet series, though I do think it is an ingenious marketing idea and she carries it off with each new book she comes up with. I've enjoyed immensely "A" is for Alibi, "D" is for Deadbeat, "F" is for Fugitive, and "G" is for Gumshoe. So now I've read "R" is for Ricochet. The surprising thing to me is how well her style, sense of play, plot, and characters hold up (if this book is any indication) after so many. Granted, I've not read every single one, but from what I HAVE experienced, Grafton may not ever run out of steam. Also recommended: BARK OF THE DOGWOOD by McCrae

A is for Alibi ***
B is for Burglar
C is for Corpse
D is for Deadbeat ***
E is for Evidence
F is for Fugitive ***
G is for Gumshoe ***
H is for Homicide
I is for Innocent
J is for Judgment
K is for Killer
L is for Lawless
M is for Malice
N is for Noose
O is for Outlaw
P is for Peril
Q is for Quarry

*** = highly recommended.

4.0étoiles sur 5 R is for "Reba's Revenge", Juil 20 2004
Par A. Steward "reader49" (Little Rock, AR USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
The latest in Grafton's alphabet series finds Kinsey along for the ride in "Reba's Revenge". Overall it is an enjoyable continuation of this long-running series. While Reba is getting her revenge against Beck, her former lover and boss, Kinsey deals with new romance in her life and tries to counsel her landlord, Henry, on his love life. She trails along on various illegal escapades with the paroled Reba and doesn't really do much sleuthing. There is nothing new or very exciting, but if you are a fan of the series, you will enjoy spending a few hours catching up with Kinsey.

You have to admire Sue Grafton for keeping the series set in the 80's so that Kinsey doesn't age too much (otherwise Kinsey would be 54 this year!). Grafton keeps fairly true to the time period with Kinsey still not owning or using a computer although business use of computers is part of the story. Kinsey still pigs out on McDonalds, gets by without a cell phone and other gadgets we are so dependent upon today. As much as I'd like to get to the end of the alphabet, I don't want Grafton to rush and finish the series just to appease the readers who want a new book every year. I would prefer she take her time and maintain the quality of the series. I look forward to seeing what happens to Kinsey in "S", no matter how long I have to wait.

This long-running series is somewhat uneven at times. This one is a standout and you don't have to have read previous books to enjoy this one. A great read.
