II have long been a fan of Kinsey Milhone since I read the first book. I found two separate well written stories that had no connection between them. I saw only traces of the Kinsey I knew. Kinsey was involved mainly in watching for Ned Lowe and was not really interested in her investigation of who was trying to blackmailed Fritz's parents with the porn tape made 15 years ago by the teenage boys. The story is told in flashbacks interspersed between what is happening now. Both cases are resolved by the end of the book. As I figured the answer on the smut tape early on, the ending was not a surprise. My Thanks to the Meridian, Idaho library for my copy....more
