Another in a great series by this author. I loved reading about Pearl and I liked that Hawk was a main character in this story. It was very interesting and I didn't see the ending a mile away.

C Is for Corpse (Kinsey Millhone, Bk 3) (Audio CD) (Abridged)
Review Date: 1/8/2015


I am listening to the audio book versions of Sue Grafton's alphabet series. Near the end of the book, the narrator really gets into the story as the heroine is solving the mystery and it really blows me away. I just love listening to her voice. Judy Kay is a phenomenal actress and I just love her narration. The story was good too. The typical whodunit, but with a twist. I never figured out who it was going to be until she practically told us. Definitely will read/listen to again!


Crunch Time (Goldy Schulz, Bk 16) (Audio CD) (Unabridged)
Review Date: 1/8/2015


I listened to this book. I have read most all of this series and listening to this book reminded me how monotonous she can be at times. For example when she reviews all of the information she has on a "case" to herself... does she really have to do it aloud and 15x throughout the book? Despite that, I really did enjoy the book, and didn't figure out the ending, which is always a plus. The recipes look yummy and I'm definitely trying the love potion salad!

This was great to listen to, I liked the book ok but the ending left me wanting more. I just didn't like the ending. When it was over I was happy to move on to the next book. Hoping it will be better!

I loved this book from beginning to almost the end. I really hated the ending!! What a wonderful story though, despite the bad ending. My favorite thing is that I listened to the book, and the lady that does the reading is amazing! I can't wait for Ms. Kwok's next book!

I loved this book.... until the end!! Come on Robert B. Parker!! Don't do me like that! What a horrible, horrible ending!!!

It really was a great read though, made me laugh a lot. I just love his books! I still gave it five stars even though the ending was upsetting, the book was that good!

This book was good! Not great,but good! I listened to the audio version and found that I enjoyed the second part of the book much more than the first. I bet my mom and other women her age would really enjoy it - especially those who were actual David Cassidy fans back in the day. I loved the middle and ending of this book, and afterwards I understand that the beginning was necessary.

I've been reading these books out of order and this is probably the 10th book I've read in the series... finally some heat. I wish that Sue would make Kinsey a little more sexy. Looking forward to C is for Corpse which is next.

I enjoyed this book. I didn't figure anything out ahead of time and it was an interesting story, I learned a lot about wine and the civil war! I did find it annoying that she never went to the police even though someone was trying to kill her. Who does that???

Great book. I really enjoyed the characters in this novel. I'm really loving this series, even though I'm not reading it in the correct order from A-Z, it's good enough that you don't need to read it in order.

It was a good book. A little slow, but you grow to like the characters and become invested in them. Perfect read for a rainy day!

It was a good book. I listened to it twice (because I didn't have anything else to listen to at the time.) It didn't drive me crazy. I liked the story and especially the ending. Great to pass the time when I'm driving to work!

Great book. Lots of historic info, if you are interested in that kind of thing. (I'm not). I did enjoy the information on winemaking though. Loved the narrator of this audio book.

I love it when I read a mystery and I can't figure out whodunnit before the book ends. I didn't see the ending coming and it was great! Great book and now I'm going to try to read the entire series.

As usual, I thoroughly enjoyed this Robert B. Parker mystery. Spencer as read by Joe Mantegna is mesmerizing. I just love to listen to these books.
