Author: Sue Grafton
Title: 'D' is for Deadbeat
Publication: New York: Bantam Books, 1994.
Pages: 240 pages
Genre: Mystery
Acquisition: Purchased before 1998
Date Completed: January 18, 2010
Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5
The Kinsey Millhone mysteries continue to improve as the series progresses. Grafton is dedicated to realism in her novels, and she focuses on the little details (grocery shopping, eating dinner, the barriers Kinsey faces) to create the proper perspective. In previous novels these details were a bit tedious, but Grafton finds a nice balance of day-to-day and suspense in 'D' is for Deadbeat.
