R is for Richochet (by Sue Grafton)
I wait two years for these books to come out in paperback, and then I read them in a day! Same thing with the Stephanie Plum series. (I haven't found any other "girl detective" series that is as much fun as either of these. Oh well.)
There was a time when I'd go back and re-read the series periodically. But I don't think I've re-read any of them since K is for Killer. I can always go back and do that if I am in the mood for more Kinsey Millhone.
(Did you know that Sue Grafton always gives characters in the book the same initials as the book title? This book centers around a girl named Reba, for example. But she always throws in some totally irritating non-names. Reba's father is named Nord Lafferty, of all things. Nord.)
I feel like this one is better than the last few (not that I remember the last few all that well). I remember liking all the ones up to K, and liking M, and being vaguely disapointed by the rest. But it's basically a book for fans of the series. If you want to know which one I'd suggest as the best, it's G is for Gumshoe. That one is my favorite.
On a side note, I like reading the bad reviews of books on Amazon, and I noticed that there's invariably a bunch of people who complain that the book contains gratuitous sex. This is pretty much applicable to any book with sex in it.

Coincidentally, Nadya picked this one up last week and has been enjoying its fluffy goodness. It has been renamed P is for Pinochet, for no good reason.
Hee! Well, it's funny. So there's a reason!
