As a foreword to this book, Grafton elaborates on the fact that Kinsey never leaves the 80's. I liked that she did this, since it seemed odd to me (at times), but understandable. It is her prerogative. This installment allows us a peek into Kinsey's life before we met her, when she was still a police officer and married the first time. In many ways, I think this was one of the best to date. I really had no idea where it was going to lead. I do have to say, I enjoyed the journey. For once, Kinsey isn't maimed in some way. Up until now, she's been shot, beaten, and had her home blown up. It was nice for her to escape this one physically unharmed. For the past 14 years, Kinsey hasn't thought much of her ex, Mickey. However, a man contacts her with a box full of items belonging to Kinsey - diplomas, old report cards and school projects. He buys storage locker contents (Storage Wars, anyone?) and then sells what he can for profit. He had sold most of the locker by the time he contacts Kinsey and wants her to pay him for his troubles. That one box begins a quest to find out why the owner defaulted on paying his rental fees. It was fun to follow Kinsey in her walk down memory lane. We often don't get all that much information about her, even when she gives it freely. Throughout this book, we get a glimpse into what her circle of acquaintances were like 14 years ago. The only problem I had with this portion of the book is the fact Santa Teresa's supposedly a small town. Yet, in some way, Kinsey hasn't ran into any of these people in over 14 years. Obviously, what I consider a small town and what the author considers a small town differ quite a bit. I can guarantee if I were living where I grew up (which is how I imagine Santa Teresa), it'd be fairly hard to not see people for 14 years - you'd really have to try. Anyway, I really liked O is for Outlaw, and felt this was a very good stand alone installment. There wasn't a lot of mention of past cases, so I didn't feel like I missed out on anything. Some of the previous books would reference something that had happened before, so you felt like a big portion of information was left out if you hadn't read in sequence.
