One thingthat I do like about Sue Grafton is that her books aren't formulaic. There's the same characters, but the mystery is always different. In this book, Kinsey is on the sesarch to clear her ex-husband's name after she had him committed of a crime many years before. It started out pretty interesting, but dragged considerably in the middle. I like that Grafton uses real detective work in her novels and doesn't rely soley on action to keep her readers interested, but in this case, the constant string of interviews with Kinsey constantly running into dead ends got a little dull.
