Book description
‘Female, age thirty-two, self-employed and wiser than she used to be.
For Kinsey Millhone, private investigator, only one thing stays the
same. When a client sits down in the chair across the desk, she never
knows what’s going to happen next . . .’
There was nothing about Beverly Danziger to cause Kinsey concern. She
was looking for her sister. There was a will to be settled. She paid up
front. And if it seemed a lot of money for a routine job, Kinsey wasn’t
going to argue.
She kicked herself later for the things she didn’t see - Beverly
Danziger did not look as if she needed a few thousand dollars and she
didn’t seem like someone longing for a family reunion. But just as
Kinsey begins to suspect foul play and start asking questions, Beverly
Danziger pulls her off the case and fires her . . .

New York Times
‘Kinsey Millhone [is] just about the gutsiest as well as the shrewdest
of her kind’ Observer
‘An unusually compelling series of novels with a notably convincing
central character’ Guardian
