Book Review: D Is For Deadbeat

Like I've said in the last zillion posts about the Sue Grafton Alphabet Series (ok, three), these books are great, fast reads. I got through this one in a week! The latest was "D Is For Deadbeat".

Synopsis: (from Amazon)

The client came to Kinsey Millhone with an easy  job -- just deliver $25,000 to a fifteen-year-old kid. A little odd, and a little too easy, but Kinsey took Alvin Limardo's retainer check anyway. It turned out to be as phony as he was. In real life, his name was John Daggett, a chronic drunk with 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 hear the news. But how do you make a stiff pay  up what he owes you?

This one really delves into Kinsey's relationship with police officer Jonah... which I both love and hate at the same time. He's a bit wishy wash, and you just want him to make up his mind!

I'm now taking a break from the Alphabet Series and am starting on "The Help". I've wanted to read this for a while and have heard great things about it!
