It's one of Kinsey's toughest cases yet, but she never backs down from a challenge. Twenty-three-year-old Bobby Callahan is lucky to be alive after a car forced his Porsche over a bridge and into a canyon. The crash left Bobby with a clouded memory. But he can't shake the feeling it was no random accident and that he's still in danger… C IS FOR CRIME The only clues Kinsey has to go on are a little red address book and the name "Blackman." Bobby can't remember who he gave the address book to for safekeeping. And any chances of Bobby regaining his memory are dashed when he's killed in another automobile accident just three days after he hires Kinsey. C IS FOR CORPSE As Kinsey digs deeper into her investigation, she discovers Bobby had a secret worth killing for―and unearthing that secret could send Kinsey to her own early death…Be Specific About Epithetical Books C is for Corpse (Kinsey Millhone #3)

I continue to enjoy this series.Wow. This book was great. Great writing, better development with characters, a nice side plot involving Henry and Rosie, and a great ending. Kinsey in book number three I think finally gives you enough yo want to stick with her. You hear about the accident that left her orphaned. Other characters like Rosie and Henry are given more to do. And we have Kinsey doing what she does best, not quitting til she finds out the answer to who tried to kill her client months ago. C is for Corpse is told in
It's interesting in rereading books (which I don't do a lot of) what you don't remember and then as you are reading what comes back to you. This was another good story with Kinsey and I think this one showed her softer side a little bit more. I was kept guessing as much as she was trying to solve this one. As always the writing is excellent.
This was the first of the "alphabet" books that I read, and I remember vividly staying up until 3 am reading it, and then being unable to sleep!

I love pretty much everything about her writing style. Her characters are 3-dimensional and quirky. She doesn't "cheat" and pull a killer out of the hat on the second-to-last chapter

Bobby led a charmed life until a near fatal car crash left him physically and mentally scarred. Bobby thinks someone deliberately ran him off the road that night. He also thinks he is still in danger. He hires Kinsey to help him. But, only a few days after Kinsey begins her investigation, Bobby is killed in an accident. Kinsey feels
Sue Grafton never failed to impress me before, and this time is no exception. It was an entertaining fast-reading book, and once again, I couldn't guess who's the killer till the end.Kinsey Millhone is hired by Bobby Callahan, a young man who had a car accident which caused him heavy injuries and a partial amnesia. Yet he's convinced that it was not an accident, and someone was trying to kill him, and he asks Kinsey to find out who. A few days later, however, her client ends up dead. So Kinsey
