Title: P is for Petered-Out
Review: Sue Grafton is a good writer and Kinsey Milhone is still an interesting character, but the series seems to be losing its momentum. The title is somewhat misleading since there is very little peril or tension for the main characters. The insurance fraud subplot is a stretch: Kinsey is a PI, but she doesn't think to check the investigator's references or story? The ending seems rushed and doesn't really give a sense of why the killer acted as he/she did. It's a book that's a good summer diversion, but not fulfilling enough for Grafton/Kinsey fans.
