Kinsey Millhone's latest client, Alvin Limardo, whose real name is John Daggett, turns up dead. The police call it an accident, but too many people hated Daggett to suit Kinsey. Mary Peiffer does an exceptional job reading this first-rate whodunit. Male and female voices are easily differentiated, and Kinsey herself is brought to life, neither too masculine nor cutsie. The narrative voice and style are consistent and well-paced as the mystery unravels. Peiffer and Grafton are a dynamite pairing; they should leave listeners waiting for more. S.C.A.

"D'' is for Detective Kinsey Millhone, given $25,000 of stolen drug money by a drunkard named Daggett who then dies in a drowning. When she decides to deliver the money to Daggett's designee, a young man who was the sole survivor of an auto accident perpetrated by Daggett, Kinsey finds herself in a dilemma: too many ``D's'' are after the loot. There are two Mrs. Daggetts, a daughter, the drug dealers and a determined killer who soon claims a second life. At this point, Grafton's lively, well-written adventure develops a deadly flaw. Kinsey comes upon the second victim shortly after he's been shot. Though dying, he is conscious and coherent. Why, then, doesn't she ask who did it? When asked the same thing by the police, she says, ``I didn't want the last minutes of his life taken up with that stuff''a humane but unlikely rejoiner from any private eye. Even so, the pleasure of this story comes through. Let's give it a ``D'' for Dandy.
