He calls himself Alvin Limardo, and the job he has for Kinsey is cut-and-dried: locate a kid who's done him a favor and pass on a check for $25,000. Stiffed for the retainer, Kinsey finds out Limardo's real name is John Daggett...ex-con, ex-liar, ex-alchy, currently dead.
The cops call it an accident but Kinsey differs. Look at his life! A lot of people hated him, from much-abused wives, to drug dealers out big money, to the families of five people he killed driving drunk. In short, Daggett wasn't popular.
Kinsey Millhone's latest client, Alvin Limardo, whose real name is John Daggett, turns up dead. The police call it an accident, but too many people hated Daggett to suit Kinsey. Mary Peiffer does an exceptional job reading this first-rate whodunit. Male and female voices are easily differentiated, and Kinsey herself is brought to life, neither too masculine nor cutsie. The narrative voice and style are consistent and well-paced as the mystery unravels. Peiffer and Grafton are a dynamite pairing; they should leave listeners waiting for more. S.C.A.
