For a first book, I think she did a wonderful job. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that I figured out who the murderer was early on in the book (maybe it was just a fluke). Her main character, Kinsey Millhone, is a private investigator who is twice divorced. She is hired by a woman who has been released from prison after being convicted of murdering her husband. She says she didn't do it and wants Kinsey to find the real murderer. There had been a second murder later that was similar to that of her husbands and Kinsey decides to look into that angle as well. There is the usual murder and mayhem that follows. I have read several of her books but never this one and I wasn't disappointed. She makes the character of Kinsey Millhone very believable and likable with all its foibles and goodness. I really enjoyed the book. A nice fast and easy read that kept you interested to the end.
