I waited for a long time for this book and was terribly disappointed.

If I lived in Santa Barbara and I was writing a book that was driven by a homeless character and interactions between my protagonist and homeless characters, I would bestir myself down to the mission to find out what I could about homelessness and homeless culture.

I don't think Sue Grafton even bothered to Google it.
Which makes the whole plot of her newest book ignorant.

Homeless people live in flux. They also inhabit a very dangerous world. They don't have the luxury of sharing all of their secrets with their friends and mourning their dead.

Grafton's characters in this book are not only one dimensional. They are pathetic. The dialogue is completely unrealistic.
