I had a very hard time getting into this book. I was almost to page 200 before I was actually hooked & wanted to finish it. The prologue where she said she'd killed a man, semi-hooked me. I had to finish the book to see who she killed. I was reminded that I had tried to read this book before, when it was new, & she used words I didn't like. Well, my son & his friends have hardened me to words like that. I still didn't like it. This time I found it dry. She, Kinsie, was not having any joy in the journey & neither was Sue Grafton.
