Cannonball #26: O is for Outlaw by Sue Grafton
by Caroline
I don’t know, Sue Grafton.
By now, you and I are tight, and you know I’m sold on the Kinsey Millhone mysteries. I love them, and also you, and mysteries in general, and stories about strong women in general.
So I’m going to level with you: I did not like this one. I really did not like it at all, and I feel a little bad about it, but it is the only true misstep in the series so far. There were way too many characters I could barely keep straight, way too many similar-looking conversations with strangers at the bar, way too many shoutouts to a past life that I did not feel I knew enough about to care about.
My review isn’t long because I don’t have much to say. Grafton writes my most consistent favorite books to pick up anytime, when I’m tired of reading something more challenging or can’t get into another book. This time I could barely get through it and found myself feeling annoyed by the idea of bringing it with me to read.
