As she finds herself befriending the ex-gambler, ex-alcoholic, and ex-con, Kinsey discovers that Reba had taken the fall for her boss, also her lover, when he conducted a money-laundering scam. Alan Beckwith has so far escaped the clutches of the FBI. Now they believe he is laundering money for a Columbian drug cartel; they just need the proof.
When Kinsey is asked by the police to persuade Reba to unveil crucial evidence guaranteed to put Beckwith behind bars, she doesn't expect co-operation. But when she hears of shocking new information about her lover, Reba is suddenly all too eager to do everything she can to ruin him. Embroiled in a cunning challenge of wits, and meanwhile bemused by her own blossoming romance, Kinsey must try to control the bitter, angry Reba as she launches her dangerous revenge.

The story was involving, following Reba Lafferty's release from jail, gradually stumbling and slipping back into the life-style that put her there in the first place. In the meantime, Kinsey played the role of child-minder, trying to keep her on the straight and narrow for the sake of Reba's father. A role that seemed a little at odds to me with Kinsey's character and some of her activities in previous books.
Normally a strong but defensive character, also capable of being mischievous sensible, I felt Kinsey had been altered. While Kinsey warned Reba of the dangers of drinking, drugs and breaking and entering, I felt Kinsey was being made a more pious character than she had been before. Reba had become the adventurer, leaving Kinsey the rather disappointing role of monitor and chaperone.
Perhaps this book serves to mark a developmental change in Kinsey as she becomes more settled, no longer dons her multi-identity boiler suit to carry out illegal searches of offices and takes to frowning at those who leave at a moment's notice for other states in America. Perhaps this is the effect the man in her life has on her, an aspect I found her too eager to embrace! But maybe that's just me!
All in all, I enjoyed the book, but I don't feel it was a Kinsey Millhone adventure. I missed Kinsey, and although she acknowledged sometimes in life we are not the main characters, I had been looking forward to spending some more quality time!
