Resumen del Editor

Reba Lafferty was a daughter of privilege, the only child of an adoring father. Over the years, he quietly settled her many scrapes with the law, but he wasn't there for her when she was convicted of embezzlement and sent to the California Institute for Women. Now, at 32, she is about to be paroled, having served 22 months of a four-year sentence. Nord Lafferty wants to be sure she stays straight, stays at home and away from the drugs, the booze, the gamblers.

It seems a straightforward assignment for Kinsey: baby-sit Reba until she settles in, make sure she follows all the rules of her parole. Maybe all of a week's work. Nothing untoward, the woman seems remorseful and friendly. And the money is good. But life is never that simple, and Reba is out of prison less than 24 hours when one of her old crowd comes circling around.

Readers have come to expect the unexpected from Sue Grafton, and R is for Ricochet is no exception. In it, a complex and clever money-laundering scheme is just a cover for a novel that is all about love: love gone wrong, love betrayed, love denied. And love avenged. For Reba Lafferty, its moral is clear: Sometimes what you hand out in life comes back to bite you in the ass. Sometimes the good guys win, even when they lose.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Sexy adventure....Grafton as usual creates believable and enduring characters and a strong sense of place in her town of Santa Teresa circa 1987." (Publishers Weekly)

She Does It Good

Not a bad story. Dragged a bit in spots. Otherwise kept my attention. Ready for S..

Classic Grafton

Another great Grafton story. There's a new romance,very hot. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

An easy listen...

S. Grafton is in her element, and just maybe Kinsey has found love again. I enjoyed the story line, and the reader does an incredible job with it. At times I almost feel like she's sitting next to me telling her tale. If you have enjoyed other books by this author this one won't disappoint. As per her style this book is an easy listen that provides the occasional unexpected twist or turn. Enjoy!

great why so short tho!

really great might have to look at the chapter count next time, it just feels like it didn't have to wrap up ap quickly. goodness tho, after reading most of the series this year, ive fallen in love with henry and grt a kick out of the snazy dressed brother who pops in to complain about his perfect health from time to time. Also is anyone else craving Henry's baking and cooking? cus i am! lol

I have loved this series since the first book. It's been one good book after another.

My favorite

My favorite of Sue Grafton’s letter series. This one has such a rich and layered reference to the real Santa Teresa, Santa Barbara, CA.

Re-reads

Great book, as are all in the series. Re-read the series once a year Just as good with each read

The Best One Yet!

This is the best of the alphabet series so far. It was worth waiting for. The plot is well executed and finally the character of Kinsey has some real definition.

I think my very favorite...

Always Listening
