V is for Vengeance (Kinsey Millhone, #22) - Sue Grafton

"A woman with a murky past who kills herself-or was it murder?

A spoiled kid awash in gambling debt who thinks he can beat the system.

A lovely woman whose life is about to splinter into a thousand fragments.

A professional shoplifting ring working for the Mob, racking up millions from stolen goods.

A wandering husband, rich and ruthless.

A dirty cop so entrenched on the force he is immune to exposure.

A sinister gangster, conscienceless and brutal.

A lonely widower mourning the death of his lover, desperate for answers, which may be worse than the pain of his loss.

A private detective, Kinsey Millhone, whose thirty-eighth-birthday gift is a punch in the face that leaves her with two black eyes and a busted nose.

And an elegant and powerful businessman whose dealings are definitely outside the law: the magus at the center of the web."

 

I LOVED loved loved this one!!! I think it's my favorite in the series so far. I loved the parallel storylines and I think Kinsey was such a bad-ass!

 

FIVE stars!!
