POTENTIAL SPOILERS!!
The family drama subplot took up most of the story, with Kinsey's investigation running second. There is a murder to be solved, although Kinsey doesn't know anything about it until the very end. There are flashback scenes from another POV, so the reader knows how the two plots will intersect eventually. In all of the books, there's a lot of extraneous detail - what Kinsey eats, what streets she drives on, what people are wearing, and this time even changing a light bulb! Normally this sort of washes over me while I'm reading - it adds flavor maybe - but I got a little impatient with it this time. I did like the uncovering of the villain and how Kinsey tracked down everything. Though, I have a hard time empathizing with Kinsey because I can't imagine myself acting like her. I did feel sorry for her to find other family members who are kind of trashy, but after the first encounter went so wrong, why put yourself through more? Befriend a group of homeless people and help them raid another homeless encampment? Oh hell no. But I've still enjoyed the books for the most part and now there are only two left to read.
