| Plot Summary of L is for Lawless |
|---|
"Kinsey Millhone is a private investigator who's skill's are about to be tested. She is about to meet her duplicitous match in a couple of worls class thugs who quite literally take her for the ride of her life.
Kinsey quick witted and quicksilvery poking her nose into everyone's dirty laundry as she joins up with a modern day Bonnie and Clyde in a comedy that will take her halfway across the country and leave her with a major headache and an empty bank balance. Call it a mystery without a murder, a treasure hunt without a map, a quest novel with truly mixed up motives."
Blue, Resident Scholar
