About this product

Product Information

Reba Lafferty was a daughter of privilege. Abandoned by her rebellious mother when she was an infant, she was the only child of a rich man already in his mid-fifties when she was born, and her adoring father thoroughly spoiled her. Now, at thirty-two, having had many scrapes with the law, she is about to be released on probation from the California Institution for Women, having served twenty-two months of a four-year sentence for embezzlement. Though Nord Lafferty could deny his daughter nothing, he wasn't there for her when she was brought up on this charge. Now he wants to be sure she stays straight, stays at home and away from the drugs, the booze, the gamblers. It seems a straightforward assignment for Kinsey: babysit Reba until she settles in, make sure she follows all the niceties of her parole. Maybe a week's work. Nothing untoward--the woman seems remorseful and friendly. And the money is good. But life is never that simple, and Reba is out of prison less than twenty-four hours when one of her old crowd comes circling round. R is for Ricochet. And R is for romance: love gone right, love gone wrong, and matters somewhere in between.

Reviews
"Grafton's alphabet thrillers just keep getting better." -- USA Today "Should a contest be held to name the most credible private eye in mystery fiction, Kinsey Millhone would certainly rank at or near the top. The central figure in Sue Grafton's long-running series conveys a verisimilitude, in both her professional and private lives, that makes most of her competitors seem like cartoons." -- The San Diego Union-Tribune "Grafton, as usual, creates believable and enduring characters and a strong sense of place in her town of Santa Teresa circa 1987." -- Publishers Weekly "Sue Grafton is brillant. We'd follow Kinsey Millhone anywhere." -- Newsday "A tale of love gone right and wrong and every which way in between. R is for Ricochet will have fans purring contentedly." -- Kirkus Review, "Grafton's alphabet thrillers just keep getting better." -- USA Today "Should a contest be held to name the most credible private eye in mystery fiction, Kinsey Millhone would certainly rank at or near the top.

  • sue grafton r is for ricochet, kinsey gumshoe detective stuck in the 1980's

    FLAP SAYS: REBA LAFFERTY WAS a daughter of privileged the only child of an adoring father. nord lafferty was already in his 50's when reba was born and he could deny her nothing. over the years he quietly settled her many scrapes with thelaw, but he wasn't there when she took the fall for a guy she was in love with for embezzleing and sent to ca institute for woman. kinsey is hired to bring her home. when she is released. while the reasoning behind the whole beginning is weird and far fetched, it's ok, and the book does hold your attention. althought once again, i'm thinking kinsey really really needs a cell phone and to call the cops once and a while. i'm hoping the relationship works out with cheney, but with kinsey you never know. also henry needs some love too.

  • Book good

  • R is for Ricochet

    Sue Grafton is a very good writer. My wife and I have a complete set of hard cover books and an amost complete set of CD's. I like to listen to them either on CD or by Audiobook and she reads the books. But last night my wife pointed out that to CDs are not read word for word like the book. The story still gets across though. We both like Sue Graftons work. Thanks

  • Great
