BOOK REPORT...."D" IS FOR DEADBEAT

"D" is for Deadbeat - Sue Grafton

Product Description(Amazon.com)
He called himself Alvin Limardo, and the job he had for Kinsey was cut-and-dried: locate a kid who'd done him a favor and pass on a check for $25,000. It was only later, after he'd stiffed her for her retainer, that Kinsey found out his name was Daggett. John Daggett. Ex-con. Inveterate liar. Chronic drunk. And dead. The cops called it an accident―death by drowning. Kinsey wasn't so sure.
Pulled into the detritus of a dead man's life, Kinsey soon realizes that Daggett had an awful lot of enemies. There's the daughter who grew up with a cheating drunk for a father, and the wife who's become a religious nut in response to an intolerable marriage. There's the lady who thought she was Mrs. Daggett―and has the bruises to prove it―only to discover the legal Mrs. D. And there are the drug dealers out $25,000. But most of all, there are the families of the five people John Daggett killed, victims of his wild, drunken driving. The D.A. called it vehicular manslaughter and put him away for two years. The families called it murder and had very good reason to want John Daggett dead.

MY THOUGHTS:  Book 4 of the ABC Mysteries by Sue Grafton.  Kinsey is looking for a guy that stiffed her for 400.  She can't find him that easy, he's gave her a different name, so she starts digging and finally finds him, but she's too late, he's dead.  The police are calling it an accidental death, but Kinsey isn't so sure about that.  After digging up some info on him, people she has talked to, she's 99% sure it's murder.  Now all she has to do is narrow the suspect list down to find the killer.  Can she do it?  And who wanted Dagget dead?  I give this book 5....
