From Publishers Weekly

"D" is for Detective Kinsey Millhone, given $25,000 of stolen drug money by a drunkard named Daggett who then dies in a drowning. When she decides to deliver the money to Daggett's designee, a young man who was the sole survivor of an auto accident perpetrated by Daggett, Kinsey finds herself in a dilemma: too many "D's" are after the loot. There are two Mrs. Daggetts, a daughter, the drug dealers and a determined killer who soon claims a second life. At this point, Grafton's lively, well-written adventure develops a deadly flaw. Kinsey comes upon the second victim shortly after he's been shot. Though dying, he is conscious and coherent. Why, then, doesn't she ask who did it? When asked the same thing by the police, she says, "I didn't want the last minutes of his life taken up with that stuff"a humane but unlikely rejoiner from any private eye. Even so, the pleasure of this story comes through. Let's give it a "D" for Dandy.

Product Description

2 cassettes / 3 hours
Read by Judy Kaye


Once again, Kinsey Millhone, the feisty and resourceful P.I. has taken on a case with a deadly twist.

Alvin Limardo hires Kinsey to deliver $25,000 to a fifteen-year-old kid.  Seems pretty straightforward - or it would have been in Limardo wasn't as phony as his retainer check: his past includes a criminal record and a reputation for shoddy deals.  Burned but determined, Kinsey tracks him down only to discover that someone else has gotten there first.  The deadbeat is now just plain dead.  Finding the killer will be a tough assignment, but maybe not as tough as making a stiff pay his debts. --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

4.0étoiles sur 5 flawed but delicious, Sep 27 2003
Par erica "ejs192" (Amherst, MA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
In this fourth novel, private detective Kinsey Millhone is hired for routine search-and-deliver work, but before she can begin on the case her client drowns. She decides to look into his death, first on her own and then in the employ of the client's daughter. She quickly discovers that the drowning may not have been accidental, and between creditors, buddies from jail, and wives, there are more than enough suspects.

"D is for Deadbeat" has more flaws than previous Kinsey installments, and sometimes the detective's motives make little sense. But the book is pleasurable reading, and the thrill of the chase overwhelms any flaws in the plot.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Where's The Actual Killer Hiding Out?, Juil 10 2003
Par J. Kirkman "book jen" (St. Petersburg, FL United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
The client came to Kinsey Millhone with an easy job she thought-deliver $25,000 to a fifteen-year-old kid. A little odd, and Kinsey wasn't sure what to make of this thing. So she takes Alvin Limardo's retainer check anyhow. It turns out that his real name is not Alvin Limardo, but John Daggett. And the check of course, is as phony as he is. John Daggett has a record as long as your arm and a reputation for sleazy deals. But he wasn't just a deadbeat. By the time Kinsey caught up with him, he was a dead body-with a whole host of people who were delighted to see him dead. There was four in particular that REALLY wanted him dead. Kinsey knew his death was no suicide-it was a plan to kill John. But which one of the four did it? Kinsey must put her detective skills to work and find out someone's secret.

5.0étoiles sur 5 D is for Dandy, Mars 21 2003
I found this to be one of the best of Sue Grafton's books so far. I found it extremely suspenseful and was guessing all the way up to the end as to who was the murderer. The ending surprised me and saddened me. I have found myself engrossed in the series and can't wait to get on to the letter "E".
