"I'm starting to wonder if I even read these before! Kinsey meets some really twisted individuals. I don't even remember any of this. Maybe it's been more than 15 years.... Makes it a lot of fun though. Since she's all the way to "T," I have a long way to go. Although I read "T" just last year, darn it."

" Really enjoyed this one too....the early books are quite good. Have to get the next one reserved at the library... "
— Mishka, 2/4/2014" Another out of order book Mrs. KB. "
— Jeanne, 1/29/2014" Similar themes as some others--the long ago murder and simmering resentments, the issue of father figure--but still an original and good read. It takes Millhone out of Santa Barbara and into a beach community for a good change of pace. "
— Greg, 1/23/2014" I've been rolling through this series. While they're all entertaining, F is for Fugitive is the best so far. There was a but more of a plot and better character development here and even a touch of suspense. "
— Kassieuiuchotmail.com, 1/22/2014" Nice quick books to listen to on my MP3 player. Entertaining series. I enjoy the series and I enjoyed this particular book. "

— Sara, 1/14/2014" Um, nope, can't tell you a thing about it, other than I read it and enjoyed the process of doing so... "
— RunRachelRun, 1/7/2014" Solid entry in the Kinsey Milhone, with an ending that while not completely predicable, is one you still see coming. But it is Kinsey that keeps you coming back for more. Her voice is like yours, her reaction to the actions of others is also completely like yours. This series is kind of awesome. "
— Ubalstecha, 1/3/2014" I love Sue Grafton's books. This one was great. Intrigue, adventure , humor & I could hardly wait to get to the end. "

— Alaina, 12/6/2013" Good stuff. Perfect in-bed-with-a-cold reading. "
— Molly, 10/19/2013" 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, 9/9/2013" Sue Grafton never dissapoints - she writes a great story. I love following the trail with Kinsey Milhone. What will we do after "Z"? "

— alicia, 5/23/2013" First one I had not predicted. "
— Rachel, 4/22/2013" Originally read in the mid- to late-1990s. Enjoyed until the reveal of the villain, at which point there was copious eye-rolling. "
— Sarra, 8/30/2012" I know we are not talking great literature here, but these Sue Grafton mysteries are like junk food for me. Love 'em. "
— KrisAnne, 8/9/2012" Quick read. Entertaining. Grafton's mysteries get better the more you read. "
— Susan, 5/28/2012" Quick read - enjoyed it. I usually have the mystery solved long before the end of the book but this one kept me guessing a little longer. "
— Denise, 9/15/2011" Another good outing for Kinsey "
— Curlyhair, 9/1/2011" 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/> "

— 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" 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. "
— cindy, 5/4/2011" I read the Sue Grafton "Alphabet Series" many years ago, and loved them all. She's quite a good mystery writer! "
— Karen, 4/28/2011" Love these too. Similar to Janet Evanovich. Light and humorous. <br/>I'm up to the 'u' book "
— Jean, 4/18/2011" I'm starting from A and will get to Z when it comes out. Love this genre. "
— Sherri, 4/16/2011" I enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought I would. The characters were interesting and many had unique personalities. I did manage to guess whom the killer was before the detective. A little more time on the post ending wrap up would have been nice, but otherwise the ending was entertaining. "
