Sue Grafton. H is for Homicide (1991) Kinsey goes undercover when she’s stumbles into an insurance scam after one of California Fidelity’s claims investigator ends up dead in the parking lot. Her friends in the police department want her to help them nail the gang, which she does, eventually, but as usual at great risk to her life. Another nicely done entertainment, but rather forgettable compared to the others. It feels like Grafton is writing to formula. ** (2007)
