Yes. "Accidentally"....

The book is oddly compelling. There is all of this strange stuff that was probably not strange at all during the time it came out. Like Kinsey's obsession with jogging. It seemed like that might have been a thing back then. After all, this was the most popular video tape of the day:

EXCERPT: 'What can I help you with?'

'I hope you can locate my sister for me,' she said.

She was searching through her handbag again. She took out her address book, a rosewood pen and pencil set, and a long white envelope, which she placed on the edge of my desk. I'd never seen anyone so self-absorbed, but it wasn't unattractive stuff. She gave me a quick smile then, as though she knew that.

I listened to this one on Audio and am not sure whether that affected how much I enjoyed the book. The narrator chose to read Kinsey as a very brisk, managing type of person and I felt she did not really do her justice.
Nevertheless I enjoyed the story with its twists and turns and surprises. The ending was neat and not idealistic - like real life! I would have liked to give this three and a half stars and will certainly be carrying on with the series.

3.5 stars but I'm going to round down (since I sometimes round up for this author, and I suppose this makes it balance out a bit!) for the second book in the "Kinsey Millhone" [cozy] mystery series by Sue Grafton. In B is for Burglar, we get to know Kinsey more, figuring out what she likes and doesn't like. And apparently she is a bit picky when it comes to client. First, she doesn't want to take the case as it is too simple and sounds like a waste of her time. But when she digs a bit deeper, something strange is going on with a missing woman. Nothing adds up.

It' s a good mystery in your head, and I think it might be better than the first book in some ways... but not enough to rate it higher. I liked the investigate and research style in this one. It's a missing person's case, so you really know as little as she does. You feel like you're playing along more on this one. But at the same time, I didn't have a strong connection until the middle of the book with the "victim."

I found myself getting a little caught up in it being 1982 in the books, but it was published several years later, and I was reading it in 2000. I kept forgetting the time period, which is important in cases like these, given the available tools.

If you're going to read the whole series take the time in these first few books to really synchronize with the time period, so you are not out of your element.

But Kinsey is a great main character. She's got flaws. She's got spirit. You root for her, get annoyed with her. All signs of good character development. But after 26... it might get a bit old!

-Kinsey Millhone- 'B is for Burglar'

This second installment in Sue Grafton's 'Kinsey Millhone' series takes place a few weeks after her case 'A is for Alibi' wrapped up. This case, 'B is for Burglar' opens with Kinsey Millhone in her office, a space at the California Fidelity Insurance office, where she exchanges occasional claims investigations for an office she can call her own. Across the desk from Kinsey is her latest potential client... a woman named Beverly Danziger who is described as being in her late 30s, petite and well-coiffed.... or as Kinsey says.... "She projected self-confidence and a certain careless attention to style, conservatively packaged like the complimentary gift wrap in a classy department store." Beverly Danziger wanted to hire Kinsey to find her sister Elaine Boldt. According to Beverly, she had been attempting to contact Elaine in order to obtain her signature on some legal documents so that a small family inheritance could be disbursed. Elaine Boldt, who split her time between living in a condo in Santa Teresa, California and in an apartment in Boca Raton, Florida, was assumed to be in Florida because she had been last seen climbing into a taxi which had been called to take her to the airport. But Beverly had not been able to reach her sister by telephone. Although Kinsey was puzzled as to why Beverly Danziger needed her help with a matter that seemed so simple to resolve, she had no other cases requiring her attention and well.. a girl's gotta eat, right? She accepted the case with the thought in mind that she could probably locate the elusive Elaine Boldt with just a few phone calls. But as Kinsey soon discovers.... she was SO wrong.

The first thing Kinsey did was call the building manager at Elaine Boldt's condo in Santa Teresa... a woman named Tillie Ahlberg, who confirmed that Elaine Boldt did indeed spend winter months in her place in Florida. Tillie volunteered that she had the responsibility of collecting Elaine's mail and forwarding it to her and in return, Elaine sent her post cards from time-to-time letting her know how things were going in Florida.... that is, until this year. Kinsey's suspicions began to rise at Tillie's description of Elaine's departure from her usual routine; but it was what Tillie told her next that made her realize that discovering what had happened to Elaine was going to be much more complicated than she originally thought.

Realizing that she needed to re-think her approach to the case, Kinsey decided to make a trip to Boca Raton.Upon arriving at Elaine Boldt's apartment building, Kinsey was informed by the building's manager that Elaine had never arrived; and interestingly, there was a woman named Pat Usher who claimed she had sublet the apartment and had been staying there. Attempting to confirm this story, Kinsey questioned Pat Usher but instead of cooperating, she became belligerent and hostile. The only information Kinsey could glean was that Elaine was supposedly visiting a friend in Sarasota, Florida. After enlisting the help of one of Elaine's neighbors, Mrs. Achsner (who was thrilled at the opportunity to do a bit of spying)to keep an eye on the apartment and in particular on the comings and goings of Pat Usher, Kinsey returned to Santa Teresa with a heavy heart and feeling confused. She was convinced that whatever had happened to Elaine Boldt couldn't be good.

'B is for Burglar' is a mystery novel filled with twists and turns and many trips down blind alleys. Kinsey Millhone finds herself in a maze and to make her way out, she is confronted with an array of obstacles.... burglaries (even her OWN office was broken into), identity theft , an adulterous affair, the reluctant cooperation from a local drug dealer and a tangled web of relationships and misdirection from all of the major players in the case. No one was who they seemed to be and sorting it all out ends up putting Kinsey in a whole lot of danger.

I enjoyed listening to this audiobook which was performed by Mary Peiffer. Although the novel was written and takes place in the 1980s, I didn't really find the story dated.... although I WAS struck several times by the thought that int would have been a great advantage to Kinsey to have had the use of a cell phone. Needing to find a public pay phone is not an advantage when you need to call the police. Of course, on the flip side, I marveled at the reminder of how easy it used to be to just show up at the airport and board a plane.. ...more

She uses the washer for her hamper. She jogs. She eats junk food. In short, a very likeable PI protagonist. I've also liked her wry wit a few books ago. Sue Grafton's PI is my comfort read. She's always been reliable for delivering a sturdy tale which is just the something I often crave. I'll go on devouring the alphab ...more

This is a mystery, and this is the 2nd book in the Kinsey Millhone series, and I really think this book is a lot better then the book 1 in the series. If a family member did not tell me to keep reading the series I mostly likely would have stopped at the first book. The main character in this book is Kinsey, and she is a PI. It is about PI and what current case she is on. This one she looking for a woman that went missing. I have reviews for several of the books in this series so far. (*)

Another interesting mystery solved by Kinsey. It's a shame she's turned into such a damn fool by Grafton at the end. Just like the first one, I really liked everything up until she winds up confronting the bad guy. Then Grafton feeds her an idiot pill & ties one hand behind her back just to make sure there is a big suspenseful ending. Is this a trademark of the series? With only 2 books listened to, it seems unfair to pass judgement yet, but a third might just finish me.

Reread in honor of Sue Grafton's passing, may she R.I.P. The mystery at the heart of B is for Burglar kept me guessing right up until when Kinsey figures it out. I was as entertained by the world of 1985 as much as I was by the story. Things like when on a stakeout, Kinsey wonders who she might call if things get out of control, but then decides that it doesn't matter because "the nearest pay phone is several miles away".

I'm not entirely comfortable with the Goodreads star system. All through school I was judged on a 10 points scale, and a 6 was a very low grade, just a step above the barely passed examination (5). On that scale Sue Grafton is a comfortable 8 - intelligent, intriguing, elegant. But I have read better mysteries and I suspect in a year or two I will scratch my head and wonder what was this book about?

All through school I was judged on a 10 points scale, and a 6 was a very low grade, just a step above the barely passed examination (5). On that scale Sue Grafton is a comfortable 8 - intelligent, intriguing, elegant. But I have read better mysteries and I suspect in a year or two I will scratch my head and wonder what was this book about?

The one thing that will remain for sure is the main character - Kinsey Millhone - private investigator in Santa Teresa, a typical (read imaginary) California town in the 1980's. I've only read two books featuring her, and she seems perfectly capable of carrying the series forward for the next 20 books. A 30 something freelance professional with a past career in the police force, she makes a credible scion of the hard boiled detectives from the classic "noir" period. She may not compete with said detectives in the physical violence and colourful language game, but she's sharp and she's quite capable of taking care of herself. What I like most about her is her self-reliance and independence. She doesn't need a man to validate her, and she's not guilt ridden or defensive about it. I also like that she is not a prude, not bitter about men, in fact she's got a bit of a roving eye, but she's not needy or pushy / bossy. I hope she will get some companionship later in the series, it will be interesting to see how she will play it out.

I've been married twice myself and both ended in divorce. I berate myself for that sometimes but now I'm not sure. Maybe I haven't made such a bad trade-off. Personally, I'd rather grow old alone than in the company of anyone I've met so far. I don't experience myself as lonely, incomplete, or unfulfilled, but I don't talk about that much. It seems to piss people off - especially men.

Way to go, girl! I actually would like to take her out to a dinner sometime, I'm sure she'll be tons of fun, with her casual wear, practical hairstyle and preference for junk food. She's also capable of name dropping Anna Magnani, Jeanne Moreau, Simone Signoret in casual conversation, always a plus to a film buff like me.

As far as B for Burglar is concerned, it starts like one of Raymond Chandler novels, with one smooth lady hiring Kinsey to find her missing sister. Kinsey has very little to start with, but she patiently interviews neighbors, gathering clues and writing her little post-it reminders. Instead of unravelling the mystery, the plot thickens - with hints at insurance fraud, identity theft, drug dealing and some breaking and entering to justify the title. As genre novels go, I would classify this as a police procedural rather than an action thriller, with mind games playing a bigger role than physical conflict (present only at the very end).

My main issues with the novel come from a lack of urgency, of tension. It was a fast read, stimulating and with many a fun moment, but not really a page turner. And when I'm guessing the identity of the main culprit in the first quarter of the book, instead of patting myself on the back for how smart I am, I would say the author did a poor job at dissimulation and at throwing red herrings. Kinsey took a long time to reach what I considered the logical conclusion given the initial clues. Or maybe I've read too many mystery novels. ...more
