Publisher's summary

Kinsey Millhone's latest client is Malek Construction, a $40 million company still in family hands. It doesn't take an accountant to see that the four Malek brothers stand to inherit a fortune. But one of the brothers has been missing for 18 years, and Kinsey's assignment is to find him.

The stock of family memories is filled with nothing but bitterness, and the prodigal son will find no comfort at the Malek table. If there's one thing that goes hand-in-hand with bad blood, it's murder; and that's just around the corner.

Don't miss the other titles in the Kinsey Millhone Alphabet Mystery Series.

Twists & Turns

Always holds my interest. Like the returning characters & their stories. Really like Kinsey Milhone's character. Like Sue Grafton's style. Usually always has parts that tug at your heart strings.

Loved the surprise ending! Had no idea.

Another One of her "Bests"

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I really found the relationship between Kinsey and Guy special. She kept trying to save him, but he couldn't listen to her. He needed to go back for some closure. Sadly, that's what did him in. The book was full of suspense and the murderer came as a huge surprise to me. I also love any book that has Dietz in it. It allows us to really see the vulnerable side of Kinsey. She acts tough, self sufficient, independent, and fulfilled. Dietz being around lets us see why Kinsey is a loner. She's afraid of abandonment. That's why she tries to limit her contact with her family, also. This book delves into why Kinsey is the way she is and I love it. This has got to be in the top 10 of the Alphabet Series for me.

Very good book

really didn't notice the difference between the narrators, both Kay and Peiffer catch the essense of Graftons writing and bring it to life.

made a long trip shorter.

Great

I loved it, it kept the suspense to almost the end, even though I guessed who was guilty. I do wish she had talked about how they settled the other crime involving the documents

Loved this one

My favorite of all the books. Interesting, intricate, rich plot and kept me guessing until the very end. Great insight into Kinsey's personal life as well. All around great story.

Great story, but where's Judy Kaye

Thought the story was good over all but I really wish Judy Kaye would be the only reader for this series. She's just great as Kinsey and all of the characters, whoever they may be in any given story in this series.
