Negative Positive
Title: Unreal Characters and Plot
Review: I'm a Kinsey Millhone fan, but this novel is warped. The subplot destroys what could have been a good one. So Kinsey's attracted to Tommy? I could not believe she would change that attraction to her dumb-dumb vigilante mode INSTANTLY--on the word of a total stranger! Why didn't she at least go to Texas and nose around? Then she wouldn't have been suckered by a femme fatale con artist, who herself was unreal. (The "insurance investigator" is so smart and sharp looking, but with a dumb low-life brother?? Come on.)I guess Grafton wants us to think Kinsey's infallible, but no one is, and that's why we have a Constitution and courts, folks. Where's Grafton been? Last I heard, juries were convicting the retarded, the insane, and the innocent, and these poor (people) were getting death sentences--ESPECIALLY in Texas. Come into the real world, Sue. Put Kinsey back in jail a while, and let her see what's really going on.
Is the review positive or negative?
