C IS FOR CALCULATED How do you go about solving an attempted murder when the victim has lost a good part of his memory? It's one of Kinsey's toughest cases yet, but she never backs down from a challenge. Twenty-three-year-old Bobby Callahan is lucky to be alive after a car forced his Porsche over a bridge and into a canyon. The crash left Bobby with a clouded memory. But he can't shake the feeling it was no random accident and that he's still in danger… C IS FOR CRIME The only clues Kinsey has to go on are a little red address book and the name "Blackman." Bobby can't remember who he gave the address book to for safekeeping. And any chances of Bobby regaining his memory are dashed when he's killed in another automobile accident just three days after he hires Kinsey. C IS FOR CORPSE As Kinsey digs deeper into her investigation, she discovers Bobby had a secret worth killing for―and unearthing that secret could send Kinsey to her own early death…Be Specific About Books Toward C is for Corpse (Kinsey Millhone #3)

Wow. This book was great. Great writing, better development with characters, a nice side plot involving Henry and Rosie, and a great ending. Kinsey in book number three I think finally gives you enough yo want to stick with her. You hear about the accident that left her orphaned. Other characters like Rosie and Henry are given more to do. And we have Kinsey doing what she does best, not quitting til she finds out the answer to who tried to kill her client months ago. C is for Corpse is told inIt's interesting in rereading books (which I don't do a lot of) what you don't remember and then as you are reading what comes back to you. This was another good story with Kinsey and I think this one showed her softer side a little bit more. I was kept guessing as much as she was trying to solve this one. As always the writing is excellent.
I continue to enjoy this series.
This is so far the best of the A and B and C that I have read of Kinsey. It's fuller and less of Kinsey in her down time ruminating over details that sometimes are not necessary, but they do round her out and give you a nice complete picture of just who she is and where her strengths and weakness are. I love the landlord backstory in this one too. I might be falling for him a bit myself.At the end, I knew it would get frantic as she fought to save her own life from the clutches of the nasty one,
Oh crap, Kinsey is not only still jogging way to much for me to have to read about it, but now she's working out at the gym too. And, we get detailed descriptions on which machines she uses, how much weight she lifts, and every other excruciatingly dull minutia involved in a gym trip. Why??? Why would I care about how much weight a fictional character from the 80's can lift? Unless it's a really huge or really tiny amount, I won't even notice what it means. Seriously - it doesn't matter. Unless
Another fun entry into the alphabet murder mystery canon! I love the walk back in time to pre-internet days; I love the writing; I love private investigator Kinsey Millhone and her irreverent, wise-cracking, sometimes self-doubting, but always successful ways; I love the recurring characters with a capital C; and I'm sad that Grafton wasn't able to complete the series before her death. In this outing, Kinsey is hired by a young rich kid who believes someone is out to kill him. The action moves
Absolutely brilliant. The investigation was a good one and we see a more vulnerable and emotional side to her. I loved the way she dealt with Henrys case! The end denouement was pretty creepy as well as exciting. Best one yet.
