This review is for the audiobook. As a newbie to autdiobooks, I'm finding the different experience is really interesting. There is so much snarky humor that really came through when I listened to this book, and I know the same sort of thing was there in previous books but I didn't feel it the same way. That's a plus. OTOH, you can't slide through the boring bits, like how much she enjoys McDonald's or long paragraphs where she's just walking up stairs. The other thing - this was written in first person POV and the narrator did not sound anything like my imagination "hears" Kinsey. That was a low-level irritation through the whole book, and not really fair, but it simply was.
Anyway - there was a lot of back and forth questioning the same characters again and again, and not a lot of action, but it did keep my interest - why did Jaffe return, where was the money, and just how did his partner manage to get his life back after being in jail? The small subplot of Kinsey's long-lost relatives left a lot of loose ends, which I know will show up in subsequent books.
