V is for Vengeance

I enjoyed V is for Vengeance by Sue Grafton which is set in the mid-1980s in the USA.  Private Investigator Kinsey Millhone investigates the apparent suicide of a woman she caught shoplifting.  The victim's fiance refuses to believe she suicided.  Kinsey's story is told in the first person and two other characters, Nora and Dante are told in the third person.  In the first part of the book the reader does not see a connection between these characters until it emerges the shoplifting is done on a large scale with mafia links. As it is set in the 1980s, a lot of "technology" is absent which is interesting. 31/2/5
