Well, this is definitely one of the more humerous Millhone mysteries! Against the opposite end of the more angsty tone, it's quite pleasing to read something that clearly was fun to write. Here, Kinsey finally takes a job for her landlord Henry, a simple task of investigating old army records.But since Sue Grafton is writing this, nothing stays tame. It's a roadtrip/plane ride adventure across the country, where Kinsey is forced into various disguises and meeting with various and insane characters.Grafton creates an extremely pleasing joyride that holds all the heart and soul of Kinsey Millhone's nasty personality that delves into military secrets and personal secrets of all sorts. I enjoyed the development of Henry's family--all great characters in true Grafton style.
