Publisher Description

Fans have been fed short rations when it comes to Kinsey Millhone's past. We know of the aunt who raised her, the second husband who left her, the long-lost family up the California coast. But husband number one, vice-cop Mickey Macgruder, remained a mystery, until now. The call came from a guy who scavenges defaulted storage units and came up wit a box of documents about her. Curious, she hands over a twenty and amid childhood memorabilia finds an old undelivered letter. The letter will force Kinsey to reexamine her beliefs about the breakup of her first marriage, about the honor of the first husband, about an old unsolved murder... and it will put her life in the gravest peril.

"These Sue Grafton books just keep getting better. In O is for Outlaw we learn a lot more about Kinsey's first husband and Kinsey's past. Kinsey receives a phone call from a man who bought a storage locker and found some things with Kinsey's name on them. Kinsey is curious as to why her ex husband did not pay the storage bill. As she looks into this matter she finds that her ex husband has been shot. Kinsey is forced to confront things she never did 14 years earlier when she walked out on her husband and never looked back. Great book."

    " Here it is---the 15th book of this series---and we learn lots about Kinsey's past in this since one of her X-husbands reappears. I liked getting more info of her past and seeing how it fits into her presence. The story kept me guessing and I thought it tied up most of the loose ends neatly. One of my favorite I think in the series. "

    " I am really enjoying it as I work my way through this series by Sue Grafton. (In fact, it is getting a little sad as I work my way towards the end .. she is up to V at the time I am writing this.) While I enjoy all of the series, some I enjoy more than others and this was one that I particularly liked. In this book, we see a little more of Kinsey's life and past and it makes for a richer story. "

    " Kinsey Millhone's first ex-husband is in a coma after being shot. What surfaces are affairs all over the place and two murders in the past. One took place in Viet Nam and one a decade before the current time which the ex-husband was accused of. His lawyer is now running for pubic office. Kinsey feels a duty to find the truth about the ex-husband's case. "

    " This was my first Grafton novel. I'm not sure why this series is so popular. I thought that the main character was interesting, but I didn't think that the way the mystery unravelled was very interesting. I was disapointed. "
