He climbs in the treehouse and lays beside winter and kisses her.

His name was Parnell Perkins, and until shortly after midnight,

His name was Parnell Perkins, and until shortly after midnight, he'd been a claims adjustor for California Fidelity. Then someone came along and put paid to that line of work. And to any other. Parnell Perkins had been shot at close range and left for dead in the parking lot outside California Fidelity's offices.

To the cops, it looked like a robbery gone sour. To Kinsey Millhone, it looked like the cops were walking away from the case. She didn't like the idea that a colleague and sometime drinking companion had been murdered. Or the idea that his murderer was loose and on the prowl. It made her feel exposed. Vulnerable.

Bibianna Diaz was afraid for her life. If there was one thing she knew for sure, it was that you didn't cross Raymond Maldonado and live to tell the tale. And Bibianna had well and truly crossed him, running out on his crazy wedding plans and going into hiding in Santa Teresa—light years away from the Los Angeles barrio that was home turf to Raymond and his gang. Now she needed money to buy time, to make sure she'd put enough space between them. And the quickest way she knew to get money was to work an insurance scam—just like the ones Raymond was running down in L.A. The trouble was, Bibianna picked California Fidelity as her mark. And it wasn't long before her name surfaced in one of Parnell Perkins's open files and Kinsey was on her case. But so, too, was her spurned suitor, Raymond Maldonado.

He had a rap sheet as long as his arm, a hair-trigger temper that was best left untested, and an inability to take no for an answer. He also had Tourette's syndrome, which did nothing to smooth out the kinks in his erratic and often violent behavior. All in all, Raymond Maldonado was not someone to spend a lot of time hanging out with. Unfortunately for Kinsey, she didn't have a lot of choice in the mater. Not after the love-sick Raymond kidnapped Bibianna. Like it or not, Kinsey was stuck babysitting Bibianna along with Raymond and his macho crew. You might say she was a prisoner of love.

It was ok. It was probably my least favorite in the series so far.

H is for Harrowing

Although not my most favorite Kinsey Millhone book, this harrowing story does not disappoint fans of the series. A good read and definitely recommended.

One of the better ones in the series so far

So far, all of the books in the series follow the same basic formula. This formula works for the most part though a few of the previous ones were fairly predictable. This one, however, has fooled me so far and has but Kinsey Millhone in a slightly different situation that she normally is in.

Pretty good

This book was a little slow and i found myself wanting to briefly read the pages so i could finally get to the end! Am hoping the next book will be better

Why did I like this book so much?

This book was a page turner and I don't know why. The premise was so stupid. Kinsey "befriends" a insurance fraud suspect and winds up undercover with a Hispanic gang. The leader of the gang has a bad case of Tourette's and psychosis. And Sue Grafton did it again with a surprise ending.

A great read as usual for this series....

Sue Grafton has found a wonderful way to portray such a great series in mystery that has some interesting twists and turns. I really enjoy her writing.

On the edge of your seat

Sue Grafton just keeps on amazing the readers. This book was really exciting to read and kept the reader guessing about what¿s going to happen next. Kinsey Millhone going undercover and getting what the police ask is just fun to read. Kinsey has to help stop insurance fraud and try to stay alive in this action packed book.

Most surprising of all the endings

This is the most (for me) surprising of all the endings. I have read through Q so far, and intend to read the rest as they come out. I enjoy a good surprising ending, but this one surpassed them all.

Poor plot and predictable dialogue make this read an uninteresting novel

The combination of swearing, graphic scenes and a loosely held together storyline make this book, the eighth in the Grafton alphabet series, one easy to skip. Not recommended for younger readers, or anyone who wants to read a good mystery.

Loved it!

I hate reading and this was my first Sue Grafton... i know i know... i started in the middle... but i dont regret it it was AWESOME... best ive read too...

THE BEST ONE YET!!!!

I have read A through H of this series. Each one seems to get a little better. Kinsey is hired to look into an insurance claim filed by Bibianna Diaz. She finds that Diaz is connected to the murder of Kinsey's friend Parnell Perkins. The way Grafton weaves the characters together makes for a good read. It also shows how false claims can and I am sure are, filed against insurance companies. The man named Raymond it a nut. Kinsey's experience with the pit bull is great. Does Kinsey work undercover for the police? Is someone else working undercover? You have to read the book to find out. You will be surprised. Funny lines and true to life.
