This was the best of the Grafton books I've read so far over the years (although I've only read A-F). It's quick-paced, interesting and fun. It is a time capsule of sorts, too. Pay phones, comments from the 1980s, life in that era shine through this making it a fun look back.

This one reminded me a bit of the John Sandford Davenport novels. Kinsley Milhone for to a California ocean town to help solve an old murder in the chance she can clear a suspect. She befriends the locals like Davenport did in the Sandford stuff. The hotel she stays at is somewhat creepy as are the owners.

The ending was somewhat rushed, explained in about three pages and while I seldomly figure out the bad guy early on, I saw this one coming. Still, this is a fun series worth the few days it takes to read each one.
