Publisher Description
Private investigator Kinsey Millhone is back, sassy and self-reliant as ever. Visiting a small town in the Sierras, Kinsey aids a recent widow, Selma Newquist, who believes that her detective husband did not die of a heart attack, as reported, but from foul play. Kinsey sifts through the paper trail Tom Newquist left behind, trying to discover what he was investigating before he died. Kinsey is about to call it quits when she is severely beaten in her motel room. Spurred to probe further she soon unearths clues regarding a long-unsolved murder that may or may not implicate the colleagues of Tom Newquist. Wry and intelligent, Kinsey Millhone solves the case -- and Sue Grafton delivers the goods. "Kinsey Millhone is the epitome of the tough, independent, smart, feisty PI .... entertaining and engaging." (Booklist)

"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 started reading this series over 15 years ago and they have been competently written throughout and while there was a dip in quality around 'P' or so, it is back up to snuff. Kinsey has changed in some ways over time, as you would expect given her aging, but also remained true to her values. Not getting irritating either, which is a risk for this type of series. "
— Catherine, 2/4/2014 -
" This is a good, suspense-filled detective series. Be aware the series has strong language and adult situations. "
— Martha, 2/4/2014 -
" Sue's books always seem fresh and Kinsey always is . . . Kinsey! Wouldn't have her any other way!! "

" kept me reading, as usual. but a weak ending. "
— Jen, 1/22/2014 -
" Not bad. A quick read, and entertaining. A little shallow, but then that's what you're asking for with this type of mystery. The story in this one is a bit silly, but also kind of fun. "
— Benjamin, 1/18/2014 -
" 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. "
— Thenerdmom, 1/15/2014 -
" Kinsey gets her fingers broken and still sticks around. Yeah right. "
— Frank, 1/13/2014 -
" I love the Detective Kinsey Millhone in the stories. She comes up with some crazy thoughts as she gets into the craziest predicaments. Keeps you in suspense and makes you kinda giggle at the same time "
— Maria, 1/6/2014 -
" I had read this a long time ago but didn't realize it until I started the book. "
— Whitney, 12/16/2013 -
" One of the weaker of a pretty good series "
— Rhonda, 5/30/2013 -
" This was another good book in the alphabet series. A darker story that the last few, this showed Kinsey really scared at times. "

" Kinsey is hired to find out what was on the mind of a man who died of a heart attack out in the middle of a road late at night. It's an interesting mystery, but I felt it was a step back from the flow of the books recently. "
— Marissa, 11/15/2012 -
" Very Good Book I never even had a clue who it was..... "
— Chris, 9/26/2012 -
" I figured out who the bad guy was about 100 pages in. "
— Marie, 8/13/2012 -
" I am listening to this series and enjoy the reader's voice which in a recorded book can make a big impact. It's fun that the author had kept a slow pace, Kinsey is still back in the mid 1980's, struggling to find change and a phone booth instead of having her age up to the current century. "

" Kinsey picks up where Sherriff Tom N. leaves off after his heart attack "

" had read before, listened to audiobook, finished 1/9/2013 "
— Laura, 2/17/2012 -
" Reading Sue Grafton is like slipping on a comfortable pair of slippers. I know exactly what I'm going to get, with maybe a twist or two. Usually I can figure out who did it before the end, like in this one. "
— Robin, 1/15/2012 -
" I expect so much from these tales of Kinsey and I am often not left wanting, but this one had a few gaps. I just expected more, I still liked and enjoyed it but wand, need more. "
— Greg, 12/24/2011 -
" Like the entire series, but listen to them on Books on Tape. The narrator really makes you feel like you know Kinsey. I need to get caught up with O,P and Q. "
— Laurie, 10/27/2011 -

" I can't get enough of Sue Grafton's character Kinsey Millhone. The personal side of her and the p.i. side of her. She is well-rounded and keeps you reading until you are finished. On to 'O'. "
— Carol, 5/1/2011 -
" I give it credit for being different from the others, but I don't know that different here was better. Maybe it was because I was reading the book out loud and I had allergies the past few weeks, but this book and all 289 pages actually seemed to drag on. "
— Justin, 4/14/2011 -
" This is not the best book I have ever read but there is something to be said for books that are quick, easy, and predictable. Grafton's books are all quite similar but I like that the language is minimal and I can read her books in just a few hours without thinking too much. "
— Ashlee, 4/13/2011 -
" Another terrific read from Sue Grafton! "

" Very Good Book I never even had a clue who it was..... "
— Chris, 4/7/2011 -
" Not as good as some of the others in this series. At the end, I was wondering what was the motive for the murders being investigated??? It was not clear to me. Too many details that were never explained... what did the unique murder method have to do with the murderer? "
