Publisher Description
A woman with a murky past who kills herself—or was it murder? A spoiled kid awash in gambling debt who thinks he can beat the system. A lovely woman whose life is about to splinter into a thousand fragments. A professional shoplifting ring working for the Mob, racking up millions from stolen goods. A wandering husband, rich and ruthless. A dirty cop so entrenched on the force he is immune to exposure. A sinister gangster, conscienceless and brutal. A lonely widower mourning the death of his lover, desperate for answers, which may be worse than the pain of his loss. A private detective, Kinsey Millhone, whose thirty-eighth-birthday gift is a punch in the face that leaves her with two black eyes and a busted nose. And an elegant and powerful businessman whose dealings are defnitely outside the law: the magus at the center of the web. V: Victim. Violence. Vengeance.

"Another terrific edition in the Kinsey Milhone series. Grafton has created such a great character in Kinsey, I'd follow her story anywhere. That said, if you haven't read any of the others, start with "A is for Alibi" - and carry on =)"

" I like all the Sue Grafton books. They are consistent. I just love Kinsey character. "
— Marybeth, 2/18/2014 -
" I was disappointed in this one. I usually can't put a Sue Grafton down. I struggled through this one. "
— Kathleen, 2/4/2014 -
" Lots of vulgarity. I did like the mystery and how it all fit together. "
— Katie, 2/1/2014 -
" Sue Grafton's 22nd Kinsey Millhone mystery - this one has two stories being told concurrently that of course connect late in the book. It's about professional shoplifting - who knew there was such a thing? Good one! "
— Hella, 1/27/2014 -
" This is another great Grafton read with plenty of action. I hate to think that the series will come to an end in just another 4 books. Guess I'll have to go back and read the series from the beginning when that happens. "
— Nancy, 1/25/2014 -
" One of her better alphabet mysteries! It has several points of view, instead of just Kinsey's, and I found it refreshing. Some adult language. "
— Jan, 1/25/2014 -
" Good book. The middle was kind of slow but the ending was good. "
— Sroberts74austin.rr.com, 1/17/2014 -
" I have read all the Sue Grafton books. Her books are a quick read, I enjoy the escapades of the main character. "
— Dottie, 1/10/2014 -
" Great mystery. Will capture your attention and keep you reading to figure out what happens and how all the many characters' lives will eventually cross paths. Love the private investigator character...very easy to relate too! "
— Brooke, 1/6/2014 -
" Not my favorite Kinsey book. Too much time building the plot and not enough with Kinsey. "
— Diane, 1/4/2014 -
" Really one of her best. "
— Triss, 1/1/2014 -
" This is another great alphabet mystery as I have come to expect from Sue Grafton. This series is always fun and keeps me interested from beginning to end. "
— Shawna, 12/22/2013 -
" Like visiting an old friend... so fun to see Kinsey back in action. We've been pals for over 25 years now. And even better, I get to revisit the 80's! "
— Julie, 7/20/2013 -
" Good story but too long. "
— Donna, 7/13/2013 -
" This was not my favorite Grafton but it was still very good. Grafton does an excellent job of weaving seemingly disparate stories together . "
— Kimberly, 4/29/2013 -
" Sue Grafton can't write fast enough for me. I wait eagerly for the next novel. "
— Pam, 4/4/2013 -
" This was not one of the best. I was disappointed with the time-frame goofs. I have never known one of her books to be so sloppy. "
— Leanna, 3/16/2013 -
" By far my favorite Kinsey Millhone novel! "
— Celinaresendez, 2/21/2013 -
" I liked all of the alphabet books. Each one was better than the last, wondering what was going to happen next. Am waiting for "W" to come out. "
— Joan, 1/20/2013 -
" I read it in a day and a half.....couldn't put it down "
— Marcia, 1/2/2013 -
" I think I've read this entire series, and maybe it's getting stale for me. I like this story, but it wasn't GREAT. I'm happy to have read it though. "
— Amy, 12/12/2012 -
" I love the spunky, gutsy Kinsey Milhone. From A to V...each one is a treat of suspense, intertwined characters, and dramatic story lines. W, X, Y and Z looking forward them all before this series concludes. "
— Melissa, 12/11/2012 -
" It was just ok for me. "
— Angela, 11/8/2012 -
" My favourite Grafton book in a long time. Kept my interest. "
— Jennifer, 8/7/2012 -
" As always, a fun read with an entertaining protagonist. I would have enjoyed more of Kinsey's perspective and less of the other characters', however. "
— Melanie, 12/14/2011
