(Not) Judging Books by Their Covers

Self discovery, shmelf discovery. This is my reading adventure through the library, pure and simple.

"C" is for Corpse by Sue Grafton

   The third book in Sue Grafton's alphabet series. I am thinking that, unless something radically changes in one of the books, will not be reviewed for each reading beyond the first one. I can think of a few other book series that will fall into the category of fun reading, same story.
  
For an introduction of Kinsey Millhone, P.I., see my "B" is for Burglar review.

Favorite Quotes:

"He was already slathering Miracle Whip on that brand of soft white bread that can double as a foam sponge. I kept my eyes discreetly averted as if he were engaged in pornographic practices."

"There was so much lyrical music playing overhead, I felt like the heroine in a romantic comedy."

"This was his version of small talk, I assumed. I sat down and let him ramble briefly. He seemed anxious and I couldn't imagine what had brought him in. We made mouth noises at each other, demonstrating goodwill."

"People always love it when you say their dogs are nice. Just shows you how of touch they are."

"I'm not that fast at subtraction so it's probably fortunate that I don't lie about how old I am."

"'Besides, "stupid" is after the fact. I always feel smart when I think things up.'"

Overall Opinion:

The Kinsy Millhone series; always a fun, quick read.

Rating:

Definitely needs one.
