In hindsight, I marvel at how clueless I was . . . What I ask myself even now is whether I should have picked up the truth any…

Why read it?

1 author picked X as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love the character of Kinsey Millhone because she’s so human and relatable. Her life is messy; she gets herself caught up in situations where she knows she ought to let things drop but just can’t let them go, and she has a kind heart. She also has the endearing quality of being self-deprecating and not taking herself too seriously.

This book is set in the 1980s, and I enjoy seeing Kinsey’s legwork to solve her case without the benefit of mobile phones or the internet. I also love her relationship with her elderly neighbor and how protective she is…

From Kim's list on feisty female crime fighters.
