From the bestselling author of the Alphabet mystery series comes the newest installation: R IS FOR RICOCHET. Reba Lafferty, abandoned by her rebellious mother when she was an infant, is the only child of a rich man already in his 50s when Reba is born. Adored and thoroughly spoiled by her father, she is 32 years old and about to be released with probation from the California Institute for Women, having served less than half of her four-year sentence for embezzlement. Wanting her to 'stay straight' - away from drugs, drink, and gambling - her father, Nord Lafferty wants her to stay at home. For Kinsey it seems an easy enough assignment: babysit the seemingly remorseful and friendly Reba for a week, while earning good money. But no less than 24 hours after Reba's release, one of her crowd stops by.
