Malek Construction is a $40 million company that remains in family hands. Eighteen years ago, one of the sons of the family went missing. Private Investigator Kinsey Millhone has been hired to trace the lost son's whereabouts. Of course she succeeds in her search but the family does not welcome the prodigal son back into their life or the family business. Before you know it, "m" stands for murder.
"What's done is done. What is written is written. Their work is finished. Ours is yet to do." ~ pg. 220
Sounds like a good summary, right? Le sigh; nope. So much disappointment when I unlocked the eBook and started reading. It was too predictable. Thank goodness it was only 220 pages long. Nevertheless, Sue Grafton pulled me back in with no repetitive background info and writing more about Kinsey's personal life. I enjoyed this part of the book far more than the mystery case itself. For this reason alone—my nosy curiosity into the main character—I will continue reading the Kinsey Millhone alphabet series.
