"B" is for Burglar by Sue Grafton



(from the back cover)
Finding wealthy Elaine Boldt seems like a quickie case to Kinsey Millhone. The flashy widow was last seen wearing a $12,000 lynx coat, leaving her condo in Santa Teresa for her condo in Boca Raton. But somewhere in between, she vanished. Kinsey's case goes from puzzling to sinister when a house ie torched, an apartment is burgled or worthless papers, the lynx coat comes back without Elaine, and her bridge partner is found dead. Soon Kinsey's clues begin to form a capital M.....not for missing, but for murder: And plenty of it.

This is a wonderful mystery. You have a burned house, a murder, a missing person, and all kinds of clues that don't add up. What could be better? Kensey does a lot of traveling back and forth from Santa Teresa and Boca Raton. Plus throw in an old woman that can't hear, but hears something that connects the murder and a 17 year old drug dealer that sees something that connects the murderer. It all adds up to a brilliant murder mystery. I can usually guess who the murderer is, but I didn't figure this one out until the last page!!

MY RATING: 5
