It had nothing gross, and even when there were police raids, shootings, and other such things that happen in detective stories, none of it was stomach-turning, but still exciting.I would think that anyone who enjoy detective stories would enjoy this one. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Kinsey Hits the Wall... *by N***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2012* After waiting for V for such a long time, perhaps I expected too much. V is for Vengence is mediocre at best. Still, a mediocre Kinsey Milhone book is not that bad, so if you are a died in the wool fan, you won't miss it no matter what the reviews say. I know I couldn't pass it up.The book doesn't put Kinsey in the best light. She spots a shoplifter at a department store and rushes to notify security. The shoplifter's body is found at the bottom of "suicide bridge" a few days later, and the dead woman's fiance hires Kinsey to find out if it was suicide or murder. The plot is more complex, but I don't want to be a spoiler. What is kind of odd is Kinsey's morphing into the Avenging Angel of department store security. She goes after the dead woman's partner (including following the teenage daughter around with absolutely no purpose and no resolution...it's like part of the book Grafton stuck in and forgot about). Even when the client fires her, she can't stop following the woman and causing trouble for innocent bystanders. Suddenly she's Police Inspector Javert, obsessed with bringing Jean Valjean to justice. It seems like a big head of steam to get up over something that's not murder or kiddy porn. Yeah, shoplifting is very bad, it costs consumers a lot of money, as we learn because Kinsey keeps harping on it and pouring out statistics, but get a grip Kins. And Get a Life.The best parts of Grafton's books are those all-too-rare glimpses into Kinsey's personal life. There are none here. Henry, her handsome 90 year old landlord is away again, taking one of our favorite characters off the board. Rosie, who is a gifted if eccentric cook in some books and an awful one in others, is at her worst here. How does she keep the restaurant going when she serves only pigs feet and mutton heads to white suburban middle class clients? Sometimes Sue Grafton can be a bit formulaic, with her descriptions of the all white interiors of those houses in Horton Ravine where the rich ladies with the softly highlighted pagesboys live. You know, the ones with the pale grey wool trousers and the white silk blouse with sleeves rolled to the elbow, showing off the cartier tank watch. Oy already. But in this book, she departs from this script and I was surprised to find myself missing it!There are subplots aplenty. We have police informants, blackmailers, crooked cops, and a mafioso and his mistress. He runs the shoplifting operation and while Kinsey is hell bent for leather to nail the poor little worker bees, she restrains herself when it comes to Mr. Big. Read the book (you know you will no matter what I say) and see if it doesn't seem a little farfetched to you at the end. Anyway, we get another peek at the handsome and wealthy Police Officer Cheney Phillips with his cashmere sweaters in soft browns and beiges, but he's mostly annoyed with Kinsey and there does not seem to be any spark on his side. She is still cutting her hair with the toenail clippers or whatever, so maybe that explains it. She's a grown woman in her mid 30s. The gamin look doesn't work very well past age 15. By this point, she probably looks either homeless or demented. Plus it seems she has gotten smaller in this book. In earlier novels, she was 5'6" and weighed 118 lbs. Now She is noticably smaller...the word 'vulnerable' was bandied about. Okay she was never amazonian, but not a pipsqueak either. Is Sue Grafton hoping for Julia Roberts to do the movie? Is there going to be a movie? We also meet a lovable burgler and his Dumb Dora With a Heart of Gold ex-hooker wife, unfaithful wives and two-timing husbands, trampy secretaries, moles, family mysteries, family secrets, family murders, jealous brothers, secret passages and the kitchen sink.V is for Vengence is supposed to give us a look into the high-tech world of global shoplifting. Well, it doesn't. We learn a little, that one booster can pick up a nice load of merchandise, that it is competitive arena and rival gangs fight for territory. There are different levels of operation, from the actual lifters to people who remove tags and sort the loot...which includes everything from drug-store brand skin care items to baby formula, as well as clothing, others who transport the stuff, and warehouses where it is bundled onto pallets and shipped worldwide. And we learn some buzzwords too. It's just not that interesting.None of it makes this book work. I hope Ms. Grafton is not running out of steam this close to the finish line. I hope we get more of Kinsey's personal life and love life. Where is Robert Dietz, anyway. Has he forgotten Kinsey completely. Heck, at this stage I'd even take that poor sap Jonah Robb back for Kinsey's sake. I'm pretty sure she has not had a romance for at least 3, maybe 4 letters of the alphabet.By the way, do other readers get frustrated withe the books' setting in the pre-internet/pre-cell phone world? Poor Kinsey schlepps to the library to do research, instead of googling. She needs to use pay phones when she's out on a stakeout! I'll bet there are younger readers who can't imagine living in so primitive a world.Anyway, let's wait for the next one and hope W does not stand for Wasting our Time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Gangsters who survived the fifties and sixties. *by K***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2023* In the beginning,I was confused. It took most of the book to clear it up, but it did.Second thought can career criminals really be goodguys? It seems some can. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/34651802-v-is-for-vengeance-kinsey-millhone-book-22](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/34651802-v-is-for-vengeance-kinsey-millhone-book-22) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
