Q is for Quarry (Kinsey Millhone, Book 17)
This was like meeting an old friend by chance on the street that you haven't seen in 10 years. My last Kinsey Millhone was the letter J or K. Q like Quarry kinda picks up where I left off because we get a glimpse of Kinsey's family on her mother's side again. The case in itself is not that hard to guess, based on a true case of an unknown young woman stabbed to death and left in quarry near Santa Barbara. Grafton imitates life but also creates or fleshes out two characters that I grew to like : retired officer Stacey and on sick leave officer Dolan. Both grow on the reader and form with Kinsey a competent trio of investigators. But like the old friend you haven't seen in 10 years this is a one time chance meeting. I'm not sold in picking up another one of Kinsey adventure in the near future.
