Always read and enjoyed the alphabet books. The X book seemed to start a somewhat downward trend for this talented, innovative author. That book was a muddle of different stories. The new book pretty much sticks to the two major themes. My opinion, however,is that the Y book is about a hundred pages too long. In addition Kinsey does some really dumb things: not shooting to kill when she had the chance, not taking backup to the airport when picking up Cecelia, not cArrying her gun more often, etc.

Grafton's story is interesting but a little bit off the mark this time.
