My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kinsley Millhone is back for more fun and adventure. Six months earlier, one of the guys, Pete, she was trained by when she was working on getting her P.I. license, years ago was shot to death, while being robbed. Kinsley was kind enough and helped the widow Ruth out, by going through all the boxes from his office. After several months after Ruth calls and tells Kinsley she received a letter from the IRS that she is being audited and that they need documents going back fifteen years, when Pete worked for the company that him and Kinsley worked for.

Kinsley tells Ruth there is a one box that she hasn't gone through and she'll check to see what's in there and see if any documents in reference to what the IRS is asking for. Mean while, Kinsley meets with a new client who's wanting to find her son that she gave up for adoption when she was 15. She pays Kinsley in cash. A few days later, Dect. Nash enters Kinsley office to inform her the $100.00 bill that she paid for her grocery's with was used to pay to get a painting back that was stolen years ago. This information sets off chain of events that Kinsley starts investigating.

The author, Sue Grafton, does it again, but delivering another well written, engaging, exciting, and a little humor thrown in. There's twist and turns at every corner and questions are answered. When the reader is done reading this installment, the only question that is left is, what's next for Kinsley.
