Dringender Verdacht. (I wie Intrige). von Sue Grafton

Privatdetektivin Kinsey Millhone übernimmt einen Fall von einem verstorbenen Kollegen. Für die Wiederaufnahem eines Prozesses in einem Mordfall soll sie Beweise für die Gegenseite zusammentragen. Es stellt sich aber heraus, dass der vermeintliche Mörder womöglich unschuldig ist.
Das Buch ist sehr spannend, weil man schnell merkt, dass hinter den ganzen Geschichten der Zeugen womöglich andere Geschichten, sogar Motive schlummern. Ich war das ganze Buch über mal auf der einen, mal auf der anderen Fährte, jedoch immer falsch. Ein schöner Whodunnit. Lediglich die Ungerührtheit, mit der amerikanische Autoren jemanden erschießen lassen, erscheint mir zu brutal. Das hätte man anders lösen können.
Ansonsten: Ich habe mich sehr gut unterhalten!… (mehr)
