“Story moved along slowly - lots of useless narrative”

From now on, when I want to relax, I prepare my slippers, put my feet up, turn my hi-fi on with fado's songs and, of course, I grab a Benn&Jerrys Fudge Brownie or any comfort food. Yummie!! You know you will get the best of detective's fiction!”
“formula writing, yes, but well-developed character, smooth dialogue. ”

”“Kinsey gets a call from Fiona. She is Dr. Purcell’s ex-wife and is concerned that he has been missing for nine weeks. Fiona believes he ran-away from Crystal his present wife. Everyone has their own idea of what had happened to Dr. Purcell but no facts. Kinsey finds herself in danger but continues until the mystery is solved. You will like the intrigue of this book. By Ruth Thompson author of “The Bluegrass Dream” and ”Natchez Above The River””

“Kinsey Millhone investigates the disappearance of a sixty-ish M.D. who was involved in a Medicare scam. In the midst of searching for new office space, she meets brothers who she finds out have off-ed their parents. Funny and fun as usual.”

“Kinsey Millhone is hired by Dowan Purcell's ex-wife when he has been missing for several weeks. When she finds him, he is dead and probably murdered. The list of suspects is long, and includes his current wife. At the same time, the landlord of her new office seems sexy and intriguing, but there are other layers to his personality, and that of his brother. Kinsey is given more background on the two by an elusive and annoying insurance investigator, and her life then becomes complicated as she attempts to sort that issue as well. I listened to this book that I had read years ago, and it was mildly entertaining. The beginning is slow as she searches for Purcell, and several of the characters are irritating, especially the snobby woman who has hired her. I love this series and have read several more than once, but I'll pass on this one again.”

“Not all that great on the plot line. A little too plain for my taste.”
