4.5 stars. Yes, there are some dark themes here, ranging from elder abuse and identity theft to a bit of pedophilia. Thankfully, because it's Kinsey, there is also plenty of well-placed comic relief. I'd resisted reading this one for years, but I'm glad I finally pressed through, as I found this one of the best in the series so far.

By the way, if you're looking for a fast-paced mystery series in which the PI is someone most any reader can identify with, slightly more than slightly badass who pr ...more

I've read A through S, and I plan to continue right through to Z. At some point these books started to become depressing, as if perhaps the author is sorry she's locked into writing this series. The protagonist's life seems to be going downhill, and being trapped in the 80s doesn't really work for me. The "S" book was more of a true-crime than a mystery novel, and "T" didn't really involve much of a mystery at all. The villain and her goals were made clear from the first chapter, the only questi ...more

Kinsey gets outfoxed by a very clever elder care provider. Grafton shows how easy it is to get duped even if you know most of the tricks of the trade.
