A Very descriptive novel, which details every view you could imagine right from a window pane to mountains... Would have been much better concentrating more on the story lines rather than being decriptive of every object she visualizes. Story takes little interesting from chapter 8 onwards...Anyways a great book to read on...

I couldn't figure out the ending. I kept thinking that I missed something somewhere. So I thought I would get on the internet to see if someone could explain the ending to me. I was disappointed that the book didn't involve any more of Kinzy's personal life.

i really enjoyed this book but found it more gruesome than the previous ones. it's too bad the ending is so weak.

Yes Patti, you missed the boat. Violet told Tom about her money in April, three months before she was killed. That gave him plenty of time to butter her up. Try reading the book this time.

Tom killed Violet to get the money he needed to pay his bank loan on Monday. What doesn't make sense is why Kinsey thought that whoever gave Violet the dog had to be the killer. Tom had given Violet the dog a month before -- and his conversation with Violet where she revealed to him that she had $50,000 took place a day or two before the murder. Am I missing something here?

I began this book in December, but unlike all of the others, I could never keep reading. This plot would have made a good short story, but to make it a novel was obviously a struggle. Too thin - too illogical. If Tom wanted to kill Kinsey, he would have killed her at the side of the road... the attempt at the repeated burial was inane. Because of earlier outstanding plots, I'll give T a try - but please - add substance.

The style was terrific. The book was great. I was born in 1953 (on the east coast) and the description of the era was dead on. This was my first Kinsey book. I've already ordered A&B. Nevertheless, I too had questions. I know why Tom did it -- MONEY. But there were a lot of loose ends. I wanted to know more about Tom's relationship with his wife and her money. Most bothersome: What's the deal between Tannie's grandfather and father at the hospital and the pink paper? Did Kathy send a poison pen letter using the paper she originally planned to give to Liza??

So, I just finished S. I was a bit disappointed as many others. Obviously, he had the means with his business but that was too obvious and his motive was weak--unless there was an affair we all missed. I was hoping the killer was juicier (I thought maybe all the guys got together and planned to get rid of her to save their marriages, etc.). and who tipped Tanner off to the affair between Jake and Violet? A lot of questions (same in the case of R, I think).
I also wanted more of Kinsey's relationship with Cheney (and where was Henry?)
Still a fun read.
