F is for Fugitive

My latest listen was F is for Fugitive by Sue Grafton...

Well, if one takes reader reviews on Amazon.com as a benchmark, then I am definitely out of the mainstream.

I found the book to be extremely slow and never really got into it. Yes, I was surprised at who the killer turned out to be, but I didn't really care either...

I did enjoy the occasional sarcastic humor of the main character, but I found the first-person perspective distracting. This is the first first-person perspective book that I can remember "reading," so I don't know if I just don't like the style in general, or if it was just this author.

I have one other Grafton alphabet series mystery in the queue, but the reviews on Amazon.com are weaker than for F is for Fugitive, so I'm guessing I might not make it throught it, in which case, I might have to put Ms. Grafton on the "B" list.
