(Not) Judging Books by Their Covers

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

"D" is for Deadbeat by Sue Grafton

   *Alphabet Series - See "B" is for Burglar earlier in the blog for a complete review of my thoughts on this series.*

   Kinsey Millhone is at it again. In Deadbeat, Kinsey is looking for the client who stiffed her with a $400 check for services. The book picks up a thread that is left at the end of "C" is for Corpse.

Favorite Quotes:

"At intervals, I try to behave like a person with class, which is to say I drink wine from a bottle instead of a cardboard box."

"Altogether, I came perilously close to boring myself insensible with my own mental processes..."

"The air smelled of chocolate and made me wish I had a mother."

"Eugene, in a dark suit, steered her by the elbow, working her arm as if it were the rudder on a ship."

"I tend to place kids in a class with dogs, preferring the quiet, the smart, and the well trained."

Overall Opinion:

I liked it.
