In some ways this is my favorite of the series so far, and it's because of the assassin plot. Okay, it is kind of over the top, but I liked all the action, I liked Kinsey's very human reaction to being in jeopardy, and I liked Dietz. The missing mother plot was interesting although you have to wonder why this very odd woman, avoiding people for most of her life, seizes on Kinsey to try and tell her secret in her last moments. Kinsey once again makes some rather ill-considered moves - at times she shows a distinct lack of common sense - but that's her character. One thing that did bother me is that Grafton set up what I thought was a "Chekhov's gun" scenario, and I kept waiting for her to pull the trigger but it never happened. Just a loose end I guess.
