I am glad that this book followed the last one. The last
book didn’t feel like a Kinsey novel, but ‘G’ had Kinsey written all over it.
It was refreshing to get back into a familiar setting and pace of story.
There is a lot of action in this book, and her life is in
danger once again.
Dietz is a character that gets a new and bigger role in this
novel, which I was happy about. I liked him as soon as he walked into this
book, and I liked him more and more as the novel went along.
I hope that he makes an appearance in later novels.
The storyline of ‘G’ grabbed my attention and held it a lot
better than ‘F’ did. It kept me guessing and made me not want to put the book
down. It seemed like there was danger around every corner.

"When you're presented with bad news, there's always this lag time, the brain simply unable to assimilate the facts."
"A threat on your life is a curious thing. It seems, at the same time, both abstract and absurd."
