Publisher Description
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."

K Is for Killer Listener Reviews
-
" 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 -

— Pauline, 1/4/2014 -

— Kelly, 12/31/2013 -

— Midori, 12/20/2013 -
" Just finished this book. As usual it was a good and easy read. I did NOT figure out who done it this time. THanks again for sharing with me. I am thoroughly enjoying this series of books. "
— Kylene, 11/8/2013 -
" I didn't like this one as well as her other books. Kinsey goes off a bit too far on her own tangents in solving an unsolved murder. "
— Kyrie, 7/29/2013 -
" As usual, Sue Grafton, writes a good story. "
— Judy, 5/11/2013 -

— Pat, 1/8/2013 -
" Each book gets better for me in this series. I found this one to be quite engaging! "
— Nicole, 10/27/2012 -
" Good; didn't care for the ending, it just dropped off without any real closure. "
— Cathy, 7/21/2012 -
" This series is a wonderful escape into mystery and getting to know our Kinsey Millhone's family drama. "
— Carol, 4/16/2012 -
" I really like these books. This series is fun and light! Great leading character. Great for a quick read- beach, plane!! "
— Jennifer, 1/30/2012 -
" Was not very impressed with the ending "
— Jan, 1/14/2012 -
" Another good read in this series. "
— Barb, 12/24/2011 -
" Except for the a little puzzling ending, this was a corker of another read. The procedural parts to the homicide investigation were in-depth and added to the appeal. Kinsey a tough-minded private eye with a sardonic wit makes for a sturdy protagonist throughout the alphabet series. "
— Ed, 6/8/2011 -
" "U" could be for unexpected, too. Imagine my surprise when Sue called and asked if she could use our names in this book. No kidding - page 50! I love wondering what the title of the next book will be. I bet Kinsey could figure it out!! Ready for the next one!! "
— Margiek2000, 5/24/2011 -
" I have really enjoyed this whole series. This book was no exception. Sue Grafton has a writing style that just grabs and spins me in her web. "
— Christine, 5/24/2011 -
" For some reason, this just wasn't what I expected from Grafton and I have to admit that the mystery style in this one didn't end as interestingly as I'd hoped... "
— Jennifer, 5/23/2011 -
" Great plot. Now I am going to have to go back and pick up the books I've missed. "
— Peggy, 5/23/2011 -
" I've enjoyed everyone of Sue Grafton's books. She 'hooks' me on the very first page and everything gets put aside until I've finished the book. Now I can't wait for her next one. "
— Donna, 5/22/2011 -
" one of my favorites in this series! seemless transitions from present day to the past and a very entertaining storyline! "
— Tegan, 5/18/2011 -
" Sue Grafton gets better and better...so good every single time! "
— Jennifer, 5/14/2011 -
" Usual Kinsey Milhone tale - she gets involved, continues on like a terrier with a rt, and finally prevails. Did enjoy learning more about her family. "
— Agnes, 5/13/2011 -
" I liked it. Grafton really does the whole set up well, and keeps you guessing until the end when everything comes together. This one was a bit different with skipping back and forth in time for the different characters, but I still liked it. "
— Nicole, 5/8/2011 -
" Although it was an entertaining read, I found some aspects pretty hard to believe. For instance, after 20 years, I don't believe that a six year old could remember the face of a person he saw once. Do you remember anything you did when you were six years old with any clarity? I don't. "
— Evie, 5/6/2011 -
" My guilty pleasure. I LOVE these books. "
— Annie, 5/5/2011 -
" Another in the Kinsey Milhone series-Grafton will soon run out of letters. In this one Kinsey investigates the disappearance of a little girl 20 years ago and deals with her mother's newly found family with some new info on that score. Good mystery "
— Pmcdnld2, 4/28/2011 -
" Good as always with this series, but the last two books have had a sad edge to them. It also ended rather quickly. "
— Jessica, 4/27/2011 -
" I really like this continuing series! "
— Cynthia, 4/26/2011
