Publisher Description
Here together for the first time on CD are the three mysteries that started it all, introducing sexy, savvy ex-cop turned P.I. Kinsey Millhone to listeners everywhere…
“A” Is for Alibi
Nikki Fife, convicted of murdering her husband Laurence, is out on parole after eight years of prison. Now, she hires Kinsey Millhone to find out who really killed Laurence. The trail will twist and turn until finally turning back on itself, bringing Kinsey face-to-face with a killer cunning enough to get away with murder.
“B” Is for Burglar
Elaine Boldt is missing, and her sister wants Kinsey Millhone to find her. It seems to be a routine job–until Kinsey is ordered to drop the investigation just as she discovers that days before Elaine’s disappearance, her next-door neighbor and bridge partner had been murdered. Now, the killer is still at large . . . and looking for Kinsey.
“C” Is for Corpse
Kinsey Millhone is recruited to help Bobby Callahan, a young man struggling back to life after his Porsche was forced to take a near-fatal nose dive over the edge of a canyon. Three days later Bobby is dead and Kinsey must capture a cold-blooded killer before he strikes again.

"This series, The Alphabet Murders, is fun and light-hearted. The same main character is carried thru each of the books. I really enjoyed listening to these books in the car--they were easy to follow and remember even if you missed a while getting back to them."

" I've read the series and have liked all of the books. They are easy to read and somewhat predictable, but if you love a mystery-thriller then these are for you. I would suggest to read them in order, but you do have to. "
— Katie, 1/18/2014 -
" I really liked these books and have read all of them up to "S" and "T" but they are in my 2 read books. After reading Stephanie Plum, these seem quite calm. I do like the story lines and the people in them but they are not Janet Evanovich funny. "
— Linda, 1/1/2014 -
" I enjoy all of the Kinsey Millhone books. I'm on J at this time. They are witty and fun and funny at times. Sort of a lighthearted read but highly entertaining. Perfect for what they are. "
— Ronald, 12/25/2013 -
" I have read all the books in this series Sue Grafton has writen so far. And although kinsey finds herself in similar situations in each book, I can't get enough of Kinseys dry, sarcastic, idependence. ? "
— Anita, 12/5/2013 -

" I didn't realize Sue Grafton was a Santa Barbara, CA author. Since I live here, it's fun to read the descriptions of fictional "Santa Teresa" and recognize them as real areas in SB. Of course she's also a fantastic mystery author. "

— Reida, 2/12/2013 -
" Very fun, hard to put down, and time consuming. Enjoyed every minute. Looking for to reading the rest of the alphabet. I already had read this one, but its been years and I was still a little surprised by the endings - one small benefit of a really bad memory! "
— Catherine, 2/4/2013 -
" The three best Kinsey novels Sue has written! C is my personal fave, possessing all of the criteria for a great mystery read: a down to earth heroine, solid plot and a "never saw it coming" ending. I couldn't put any of these down the moment I picked them up. "
— Megan, 1/31/2013 -

— Melissa, 1/15/2013 -
" Another series in the female private eye genre, but slightly less hardboiled than VI Warshawsky. Enjoyable stories and a decent lead character "
— Trish, 12/10/2012 -
" She is like a female version of James Rockford of the "Rockford Files" TV show. I'll be reading them all in order. I liked her old landlord Mr. Pitt. "
— Michelle, 11/3/2012 -
" Hard to wait for next one. Earlier books in series better,. "
— Lawrie, 11/3/2012 -
