Her companion, terrified at having crossed the violent crook Raymond Maldonado, is Bibianna Diaz, no Girl Scout herself.Don't miss the other titles in the Kinsey Millhone Alphabet Mystery Series.©1991 Sue Grafton (P)1994 Books on Tape Detective Fiction Hard-Boiled Mystery Private Investigators Suspense Thriller & Suspense Women Sleuths Women's Fiction Crime

Critic reviews

"The eighth in Grafton's best-selling series is perhaps the wildest ride yet....Grafton's skill with dialogue, her vivid characterizations and California scenery are priceless....There are moments when the tension becomes so unbearable that you are tempted to skip paragraphs out of self-preservation." (USA Today)
"One of the best....A vivid, funny portrait of life in an ethnic underworld, viewed without judgment. Suspense there is, plentifully, and a final suggestion that Kinsey will be exploring different mischiefs next time. Outstanding." (Los Angeles Times)

Featured Article: Best Mystery Series—Listens That'll Take You Right to the Crime Scene

With audiobooks, you get the added bonus of sinking deeper into the setting, clues, and suspects as the story is performed for you, so you'll feel like you're alongside detectives, ready to bust a case.

I could not stop listening to it. I really got into it I had to listen to it from start to finish and got it done in less than a day.

wonderful book

I really don’t care what Kinsey is up to as long as Mary Peiffer is telling me the story. I’m actually going through the series a second time.

I love Kinsey

Always a good listen.

This story was long, with plenty of threat and twists and turns. I have enjoyed this reader’s performances previously, but she outdid herself on this one. Very talented.

Really excellent reader

Once again Audible doesn’t align its chapter numbering with that of the book’s on a Grafton novel. Audible’s Chapter 5 is actually several chapters in a printed Grafton book. Annoying for someone who likes to read the book while listening to it. I think I’ll try a Chirp version of a future Grafton novel.

Great story and performance

Mary Peiffer was a little more tolerable in this story. Her voice is so dispassionate that it’s hard to get involved with the character. The story is good and worth a listen.

Good story

great series

The story was great! And yet again, Sue Grafton was awesome at delivering a completely different story than the rest of the series! Great characters including a few new ones. And the struggle for Kinsey with how she feels about Bibianna... she supposed to be the bad guy (in the beginning) but it's more complicated than that. Also, more interesting twists and turns throughout! Nicely done, Sue Grafton! And I love Mary Peiffer! I don't want to hear anyone else narrate this series! Her voice IS Kinsey Millhone! ❤ On to the next book!

Another great one!
