“One of the things that makes Sue Grafton’s Kinsey Millhone series so unfailingly entertaining is Millhone’s character. She’s the last one to cultivate eccentricities in the Nero Wolfe manner, and her unsentimental, loner’s-eye view of herself and the world keeps her feet on the ground. But her cases often get messy because she feels things strongly. This happens again, more satisfyingly than ever, in D is for Deadbeat.”

The cops call it an accident but Kinsey differs. Look at his life! A lot of people hated him, from much-abused wives, to drug dealers out big money, to the families of five people he killed driving drunk. In short, Daggett wasn't popular.
