Alphabet-series Took awhile to get going, I got confused trying to keep track of who everyone was, and I thought the ending gathered force beautifully before abruptly letting all the air out of itl. That said, the detective is nicely drawn and interesting, and it has all the hallmarks of a successful series--which of course it was. This was, oddly, my first reading of Sue Grafton, so I logically started with "A." I'm happy enough that I did, as it will be fun to see how Grafton sharpened her skills as she worked her way through the alphabet. This early effort is well written and enjoyable to read, even if the story gets a bit addled as it works toward the conclusion. mystery fiction (orig. published 1982), 1st in series starring private investigator (employed just frequently enough in insurance fraud cases to pay her bills), Kinsey Millhone in Santa Teresa, "a Southern California town of eighty thousand, artfully arranged between the Sierra Madres and the Pacific Ocean--a haven for the abject rich." The investigation of an 8-years cold double homicide leads her to Las Vegas and Claremont, among other places. award-winning series with sharp, likeable protagonist (though she doesn't like dogs and for some reason enjoys jogging). The slightly judgy views on fat people and favorable opinions on pantyhose make it somewhat dated, but otherwise seems like a decent mystery series to satisfy fans of the genre. picked up from a Little Free Library, part of my trying various popular authors I've never read before-- aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML:Now Available on CD! 3 CDs/ 3 hours Read by Judy Kaye Plenty of people in the picturesque town of Santa Teresa, California, wanted Laurence Fife, a ruthless divorce attorney, dead. Including, thought the cops, his young and beautiful wife, who was convicted of the crime. Now, eight years later and out on parole, Nikki Fife hires Kinsey Millhone to find out who really killer her husband. Kinsey must pursue a trail that's eight years old: one that leads from a young boy, born deaf, whose memory cannot be trusted; to a lawyer defensively loyal to his dead partner - and disarmingly attractive to Millhone; to a not-so-young secretary with too high a salary for far too few skills. This train will twist to include them all, with Kinsey following every turn until it finally twists back on itself and she fins herself face-to-face with a killer cunning enough to get away with murder.
