Everyone knew the kind of girl Jean Timberlake was -- ask anybody in the sleepy surf town of Floral Beach and they'd say Jean was wild, looking for trouble. But she certainly wasn't looking for murder. She was found dead on the beach seventeen years ago, and a rowdy ex-boyfriend named Bailey Fowler was convicted of her murder and imprisoned -- and then Bailey escaped. Now private eye Kinsey Millhone steps into a case that should have never been closed, in a town where there's no such thing as a private investigation.

"This series continues to grow on me-- I think this was the best one yet so far. Kinsey heads out to Floral Beach to clear the name of Bailey Fowler, who was accused of his girlfriend's death 17 years prior... Bailey's family has the potential to make one appreciate their own family more. " — Marissa (4 out of 5 stars)

" This one was a bit plodding at times, so I'd find my mind wandering. Still like the character and the series, so I'll be going through the rest of them. "
" Quick read. Entertaining. Grafton's mysteries get better the more you read. "
" Really enjoyed this one too....the early books are quite good. Have to get the next one reserved at the library... "
" This book was another good listen. It wasn't quite as good as the others. I think I just didn't attach to any of the characters and found them a tad annoying. I hope the next book is good. "
" 3.5, good, but not my favorite. "
" Book #101 for the 2010 52 Books in 52 Week Ravelry Challenge. "
" I can't belive she's going to write 26 of these. "
" 3.5 stars. Really liking this mystery series. "
" I pretty sure I wouldn't be friends with Kinsey Milhone but I enjoy the stories anyhow. "
" 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. "
" I found myself guessing if each character that was introduced was in fact the murderer. Loved it! "
" Not my favorite one, but I did enjoy it. Easy and fun read - as all the Grafton books have been so far. "
" I know we are not talking great literature here, but these Sue Grafton mysteries are like junk food for me. Love 'em. "
" I actually had this murderer guessed pretty early on, but it was still a fast and entertaining read just like all the Kinsey Millhone mysteries. "
" First I've read by her. There wasn't anything remarkable enough for me to seek her out again. "
" Kinsey is a likable heroine and this series of A to ? are fun and easy to read. "
" I like these a little more as I go. They aren't deep or complicated, but they are fun reads for an idle afternoon. "
" I listen to these while I exercise or clean house. It keeps me distracted from the drudgery of the tasks, but are easy enough to follow while doing other "stuff." "
" Always love reading the adventures of Kinsey Millhone and this was another good story to relax with. "
" This book is weaker than the ones that came before it in the series, all of which I gave three stars. It's still too good to only get two stars, so maybe I should bump the other books up to four. "
" Slow at the beginning, but good. Unexpected, the culprit . "
" See A is for Alibi. "
" I had a hard time getting into this one, but it got better towards the end. "
" Kinsey gets involved in a convoluted plot with multiple murders, one that is brought into the story from an earlier time. Grafton does not pull all the threads together at the end of the story but allows the reader to continue their stories as desired. "
" Another interesting plot with lots of little twists and turns. "
" 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. "
" Sue Grafton never dissapoints - she writes a great story. I love following the trail with Kinsey Milhone. What will we do after "Z"? "
" Enjoyed this. Certainly didn't pick the baddie! "
" Easy read whodunit. Enjoyable, a bit easy to figure out the culprit, but fun to read nevertheless. One of the better books in this series, I think. "
" Very good book..... I loved it!!!!!! "
" I suspected everyone but the actual perp. Good job. "
" Another out of order book Mrs. KB. "
" Solid mysteries. Quick reads. Interesting detective. What more can I want! "
" Haven't read on yet that I didn't like. I going to be unhappy when there aren't anymore to read. Have "H", & P,Q R,S,T to read. "
" I read all the books in this series. They are nothing earth-shattering and after reading a few, you can see the formula. But I like the Kinsey character and they are easy and fun to read. "
