Publisher Description
Bobby Callahan was only 20 when an accident left him disfigured for life. The doctors patched up his body but they couldn't fix his mind. Huge chunks of his memory were lost but he knew someone had tried to kill him and that the "accident" was deliberate. He knew he had the key to something that made him dangerous to the murderer but he didn't know what. No one believed him... so he hired Kinsey Millhone. Three days later Bobby was dead. But Kinsey never welshed on a deal. She'd been hired to stop a killing, now she'd find the killer instead.

"The author does a good job at getting you to feel like you are in the room during some of her action scenes. I'm not quite used to her ability to create so much action within such a short time span."

" This was my favorite one of hers yet (this was the fifth one I read). I didn't want to put it down. Suspenseful. "
— Kathryn, 2/19/2014 -
" This is the best one in the series "
— Madeline, 2/2/2014 -
" I like the basic stories by Sue Grafton, but she is too long on description of meaningless stuff. You can skip ahead several paragraphs and still not miss anything of the story, but you know EXACTLY the weather, or what they're wearing etc. She has a whole series of the "Alphabet Murders." Starting with "A" is for Alibi and so on. It may take a long time to get through all of them. They are definately not at the top of my read list. "
— Kathryn, 1/27/2014 -
" My first Sue Grafton book and I have to say I was not overly impressed. I read it in about two days but it was a very typical mystery book - no major plot twists, not hard to figure out. I think I would have to give her another go before writing her off completely - her A,B,C, etc. books seem to be so popular. But if there are all like this one, I won't be a Sue Grafton follower. "
— Caitlin, 1/20/2014 -
" this is the ionly book i haven't read yet from the alphabet series... looking forward to V for vengeance!! "
— Rose, 1/16/2014 -
" Another great mystery from Sue Grafton. I'll be going on with the series. "
— Martha, 1/12/2014 -
" I. find. this as a typical ordinary novel by Sue Grafton... I like the idea every time... by now that's my. third one ... I'm going for the rest but in need. of a break not to get bored "
— Amr, 1/9/2014 -
" I have read all of Sue Grafton books that are in the Kinsey Milhorn series. Very funny and it feels good to get to know the characters and read about them again and again in each new book. "
— Marsha, 1/1/2014 -
" Found this book very interesting and it was a quick read. "
— Susan, 12/7/2013 -
" Motivation for the murder was a little weak to my way of thinking. Still, I love reading Grafton. "
— Kari, 12/6/2013 -
" Kinsey is hired by Bobby to find someone who is trying to kill him first in a bad car accident. Four days later he dies and Kinsey doesn't stop until she finds him. "
— Ann, 11/2/2013 -
" Started it CD version on car trip to Wis., finished paper version due to technical difficulties on the way home! I liked it - it is the first Sue Grafton book I read actually. "
— Diane, 9/29/2013 -
" Another quick read. I really do like book series that use the same cast of characters. "
— James, 9/17/2013 -
" I listened to this while I was running. A good entertaining book to run to but not too in depth. "
— K.D., 1/26/2013 -
" This was depressing. Usually, the "good" character lives in her stories, not so in this one. "
— Theresa, 12/28/2012 -
" I Can't get enough of Kinsey Millhone. She's a pistol! "
— Carol, 12/25/2012 -
" I liked it! I got attached to Kinsey's client, Bobby, and hoped that she would solve the case for him. "
— Trish, 12/4/2012 -
" At first I thought Kinsey Milhone was a breath of fresh air, but as the alphabet went on, the air got more stale. A light mystery read. "
— Deb, 10/12/2012 -
" like I said, I love all these books in this series "
— Debbie, 6/19/2012 -
" I would say these are 3.5 stars, really, as Grafton successfully staved off mediocrity for longer than any other modern mystery writer. "
— Ryan, 6/9/2012 -
" I like Sue Grafton, I am always entertained. "
— Colleen, 1/14/2012 -
" Made it through another. "
— Mandy, 10/9/2011 -
" Sue Grafton's first book of female private investigator, Kinsey Millhone. Kinsey is sassy, persistent, and fun! Great ending made me really ready for the next book. "
— Margiek2000, 5/24/2011 -
" First in the series - makes you want to read more. "
— Roy, 5/23/2011 -
" This is the book that started it all. I have been a Kinsey fanatic ever since. <br/> "
— Wayne, 5/20/2011 -
" Perfect rainy day reading. Easy reading mystery thriller. Some weeks you don't want to delve into a pulitzer, but just want to get lost in a good story. This is that kind of book. "
— Nadia, 5/15/2011 -
" meh ... it was too easy to figure out "
— Lynk, 5/12/2011 -
" It was hard to really get into this book. The narrative was hard for me to get through at first. "
— Audrey, 5/9/2011 -
" Just so so for me. P.I. Kinsey Milhone investigates the 8 year old murder of a well know lawyer who was a notorious a-hole and adulturer. Some of the relationships weren't properly developed, and it was too easy to spot the bad guy. Gonna pace myself, I'll read B nexr year. "
— Ashley, 5/9/2011 -
" I love the jaunt of these Kinsey Malone stories. "
— Ardie, 5/7/2011 -
" Sudah lama g bc buku misteri, jdnya bc buku ini. Kasusnya cukup apik, cm penceritaannya gaya hollywood bgt. G ada yg istmw, tp lumayanlah, kayak nonton serial detektif di tv. "
