About this listen
Huge chunks of his memory were lost but he knew someone had tried to kill him and that the "accident" was deliberate. He knew he had the key to something that made him dangerous to the murderer but he didn't know what. No one believed him...so he hired Kinsey Millhone.
Three days later Bobby was dead. But Kinsey never welched on a deal. She'd been hired to stop a killing, now she'd find the killer instead.

"D" Is for Deadbeat: Alvin Limardo hires Kinsey Millhone to deliver $25,000 to a 15-year-old kid. Seems pretty straightforward; or it would have been if Limardo wasn't a phony. "E" Is for Evidence: When Kinsey is framed for insurance fraud, she is expecting a complicated, tiring investigation. But she's not counting on the involvement of her long-departed ex-husband. "F" Is for Fugitive: Kinsey must prove the innocence of a man already found guilty of murder.

Story
In 1982, Sue Grafton introduced us to Kinsey Millhone. Thirty years later, Kinsey is an established international icon and Sue, a number-one best-selling author. To mark this anniversary year, Sue has given us stories that reveal Kinsey’s origins and Sue’s past. Kinsey and Me has two parts: The nine Kinsey stories (1986-93), each a gem of detection; and the And Me stories, written in the decade after Grafton's mother died. Together, they show just how much of Kinsey is a distillation of her creator’s past.

Ending was lax
This title’s ending was lax. It didn’t solve the problem well. So the scammer was hauled off by the cops. And Henry got his money back. But I wanted to know more about the perpetrator. What made her do it?

I liked the story and characters There was a lot of swearing using the f word especially the first half of the book. I wish Sue Grafton would write without the swearing. I'll be looking for other authors with cleaner language.

Very Good Read and Reader!
What did you love best about C is for Corpse?
I really enjoyed the plot of this one. It was somewhat predictable, but still very griping I very much want to listen to the other books in this series.
What did you like best about this story?
I thought that the story was very fluid and believable which I find refreshing. Many of the books I listen to are not this easy to get involved in. I really wanted to know what was going to happen next.
Which character – as performed by Mary Peiffer – was your favorite?
Kinsey is hands down my favorite. She has the perfect voice to go with the character. I can't imagine a better reader for this book.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
If I had the time I would have listened to it from start to finish.
