B is for Burglar is very easy to figure out but the ride is still enjoyable as watch Kinsey solve the case. I don’t feel like the author hid anything from the readers and that we had just as much information as Kinsey. I don’t like books where I feel the main character has more information than the reader. I like it when the reader has just as good of a chance to crack the case as the detective does. B is Burglar is that book and you can really see the wheels in Kinsey’s mind turn.

I liked this case better than the case in A is for Alibi because you got to see just how curious Kinsey can be and get a feel for way of thinking and problem solving. She becomes distracted by a side case but doesn’t let her stop her from doing the job she is hired to do. In the book, you also see Kinsey working for someone who she may not like but understands the need to find the answer whether the client wants her to or not.

I love the portrayal of senior adults in the book. Sue Grafton makes them exceptionally diverse. They are energetic, intelligent, complicated, greedy, sexual, courageous and so much more.
I don’t know if I can listen to another book narrated by Judy Kaye because in my mind there is no other voice for Kinsey. Her other characters are well done but there is something about her Kinsey that makes the character real.
