A Kinsey Millhone mystery. . .
When Kinsey Millhone answers her office door late one night, she lets in more darkness than she realizes. Janice Kepler is a grieving mother who can't let the death of her beautiful daughter Lorna alone. The police agree that Lorna was murdered, but a suspect was never apprehended and the trail is now ten months cold. Kinsey pieces together Lorna's young life: a dull day job a the local water treatment plant spiced by sidelines in prostitution and pornography. She tangles with Lorna's friends: a local late-night DJ; a sweet, funny teenaged hooker; Lorna's sloppy landlord and his exotic wife. But to find out which one, if any, turned killer, Kinsey will have to inhabit a netherworld from which she may never return.

"These "alphabet novels" are nothing short of perfect mystery. Grafton's cleverly crafted characters will stay with you long after you are finished reading the books. Kinsey Milhone, her landord/best friend, Henry and all the others seem so much like real people it is hard to imagine a world without them. I was on the edge of my seat with all the twists and turns, never forseeing what was coming next. I felt that each novel, as Grafton advanced through the alphabet, improved in every way. I would highly recommend the books to anyone who loves a great mystery."

" I wish they would makes these into at series or movies "
— April, 9/22/2016" K is past the pinnacle of what made this series great. Having read some later stuff, I think it picks up again. And K was a good-enough read, but not one of the best in the series. "
— Ray, 2/13/2014" The book was OK but there were far too many loose ends left at the end of the story. It almost felt like the author just got tired of writing the story and ended the book. Not one of her best works. "
— Ellisse, 1/25/2014" Interesting story, better than some others, but the Epilogue left all kinds of questions unanswered, and was mostly high-handed philosophizing and moralizing, with little actual content. "
— Casta, 1/24/2014" Another good Kinsey Milhone murder mystery. Didn't know who did it till the very end. "
— Kathryn, 1/17/2014" very good book. i will be reading L pretty soon. I'm going to try to read more of these this year than last year. "
— Amy, 1/7/2014" One of my favorite series! "
— Cindy, 1/4/2014" As usual a nice easy read that was really enjoyable. "
— Pauline, 1/4/2014" Funny how we grow up and change. I loved these Alphabet mysteries when I was in my early twenties. I really didn't enjoy this one now, years later. "
— Kelly, 12/31/2013" This is Sue Grafton's best book so far. She takes us to the darker side of life. "
