DESCRIPTION:
Maybe all of a week's work. Nord Lafferty was already in his fifties when Reba was born, and he could deny her nothing. Now, at thirty-two, she is about to be paroled, having served twenty-two months of a four-year sentence. Over the years, he quietly settled her many scrapes with the law, but he wasn't there for her when she was convicted of embezzlement and sent to the California Institution for Women. Reba Lafferty was a daughter of privilege, the only child of an adoring father. Nord Lafferty wants to be sure she stays straight, stays at home and away from the drugs, the booze, the gamblers."

--Jane Adams. Grafton fleshes out this well-crafted thriller with a romantic subplot involving a romantic triangle that features Kinsey's elderly landlord Henry, his brother, and a vivacious widow who can't seem to choose between them. has no idea what she's getting into. It’s not until Millhone presents Reba with photographic evidence of Beckwith's two-timing that she agrees to do what the Feds want but she'll only do it her way, which could get a lot of people killed.

"Some things I liked other things not so much" according to Pattio. Reba Lafferty is so far (of the three alphabet books I've read) my favorite character. So that made the ending a big disappointment. I don't like my escape fiction quite that realistic. On the other hand, Lucinda Cunningham is one of the most disgustingly self righteous characters in the modern crime/mystery/thriller genre. I don't mind disgusting so much but she just didn't fit in. Why would Nord put up with her? In real life I don't think rich guys let women they aren't interested in decamp in their homes and intrude into their personal, private, and family affairs. She didn't serve any vital purpose to the plot so I don't kno. Bobby Castle said R is for Ricochet is a great read.. If you are familiar with Sue Grafton, get this book. And if you're not, start reading these alphabet (murder) mysteries. A- W, X Y Z are on the way. I recommend Grafton's work to all, R is for Ricochet is a great read.. Sure Grafton always rights good stories! Osgood Well written story by a master of story telling. Well developed characters.
