Title: Disappointing
Review: I love every other book about the alphabet series, but this book disappointed me. In fact, the last several books (say, from "L" on) have seemed too short and underdeveloped compared with earlier books. Like many other readers, I thought a lot had been left out. I figured out who did it and why as soon as she described these characters, and I think it would have been interesting if she had developed the lesbian relationship instead of alluding to it on the last page. A lot of other characters appeared and then disappeared, such as Dow's daughter Blanche. Why did Kinsey never consult the psychic? Why did she even interview Blanche? Why did Sue Grafton even write about it? Very weird, and I have to agree that this book seemed rushed and "cranked out." Sue Grafton is very talented, and I hope she gets back on track, instead of simply describing peoples' appearance and home decor, as she seemed to do this time around.
Is the review positive or negative?
