Summary: Vintage Grafton
Comment: I've read the entire alphabet series over the years and, quite honestly, have been disappointed with the last few episodes. I ended up with a copy of "E" last week and decided to give it a reread. Now I remember why I was excited about Kinsey Millhone.
"E" is for Evidence has some great elements. First, Kinsey is her own client - investigating why she's been framed for insurance fraud in a warehouse arson. Without client confidentiality rules, Kinsey has so unusual elbow room. Her search leads her into her past. The warehouse was owned by the family of a high school friend and Kinsey plays the old school tie for all its worth. To complicate matters, it's Christmas and her landlord and "cook" are both gone. In this vulnerable moment, enter Kinsey's second ex-husband.
Many of the other reviewers complain about the slow pacing in the first half of the book. I didn't notice any problems -- and with books on tape, when it drags, it really drags. The plot certainly has high energy by the conclusion. There are plenty of twists and turns. The conclusion is all I ask of a mystery - more or less unpredictible but with just enough clues planted along the way that the solution doesn't come from left field.

Summary: pivotal installment and a great read
Comment: "E is for Evidence" is one of the better Kinsey Millhone books (the worst ones still earn a solid three stars in my rating). It's well-written and not at all lumpy: unlike most genre reads (and, in fact, many other books and movies), its second act is neither slow nor ponderous, but instead maintains the pace and excitement of the opening chapters, leaving us with only a brief lull before the inevitable plot-twisting conclusion.
Better yet, devoted readers of the Kinsey series will find this book an important turning point in the protagonist's life, illuminating a bit of her past as well as setting up the backdrop of several of the later books. Moreover, Grafton - creator in Kinsey of one of the most liberated women in our modern age of Bridget Joneses and See Janes Date - is once again ahead of her time (keep in mind, the book was written in 1988) in describing the characters and their relationships.
"E is for Evidence" is an excellent read, a must all Kinsey aficionados, and an excellent introduction to the series for readers who can't get their hands on "A is for Alibi". Make yourself a pimento-cheese sandwich and dig in!

Summary: Will Kinsey Be Able to Tell the Bad Guy Behind the Scenes?
Comment: In this Kinsey Millhone novel, "E" is definitely for evidence. There was a fire that took place at the warehouse which is a family business. The feeling was that it was arson that had been committed and Kinsey thinks so as well when she gets called on the case. Which member of the family would be that angry? Or is it an outsider who feels he was given a raw deal?
There is also murders going on as well. And Kinsey suspects one of the four kids. As she investigates further into the scenes, it might be too late for Kinsey herself.
