D IS FOR DEADBEAT

Author: Sue Grafton
Genre: Mystery, Kelsey Millhone Series #4
Published:  2005
Personal Rating: 2.5/5 (eh)
Format: Audiobook
Yearly Count:  59



P.I. Kelsey Millhone takes on a case she finds odd, but decides to do it anyway.  She is asked by a man to deliver a cashier's check to the lone survivor of his drunk driving accident.  When the check for her fee bounces, Kelsey seeks out the man who hired her and the boy in which the cashier's check was to be given.  Facts arise regarding the man that question his character. 

Mr. Joy and I listened to this on a road trip, and neither of us were all that impressed.  He liked it a bit more than I did, but not by much.  My mind had a hard time staying tuned in, because the storyline wasn't that interesting.  It wasn't bad, but I need more oomph.

  1. Sorry to hear that. We lived in France when I started this series and have really enjoyed it.

    1. Bermudaonion ~ I'm hoping E is better. Are you caught up in this series?

  2. I tried A is for Alibi several years ago (on audio) and wasn't terribly impressed. Never went on to read any others.

    1. Les ~ I will probably listen to E is for Evidence because it's already on my iPod, and it's a good in-betweener. :) I rated A through C in the 3s, then D in the 2s -- not a good sign! I probably won't go any farther than E, unless I am really pleased with it and look forward to the next. One never knows!
