U is for Undertow by Sue Grafton

Although this book has been out for awhile, I just got around to listening to it. As with Ms. Grafton's other books, this is an enjoyable mystery. I love her heroine, Kinsey Millhone, and the colorful characters that hang out with Kinsey. The mystery this time is an old one. Twenty years ago a four year old girl disappeared and the case was not solved. The case is featured in a newspaper article about cold cases. A young man named Michael Sutton reads the paper and suddenly has a flashback to his childhood. He remembers seeing and talking to two guys who were burying something. He realizes that the date corresponds to the time the girl disappeared. So he wants Kinsey to help him find that spot and to see if there is actually a body there. Of course this opens up a Pandora's box and there are all sorts of side stories going on. An enjoyable read.
