What this book is about
John Daggett pays Kinsey Millhone to deliver five thousand dollars to someone he wronged. When Daggett is found dead shortly after, Kinsey finds herself investigating a murder with no clear motive and several very motivated suspects. Grafton's fourth Millhone mystery is tight, well-plotted, and as satisfying as the series promises.
