Book Description

Kinsey Millhone, P.I. is a 32-year-old, twice-divorced ex-cop with an irreverent, wise-cracking style reminiscent of Philip Marlowe - and a great pair of legs - who piles her trade in the small Southern Californian town of Santa Theresa.

Make no mistake about it, Kinsey Millhone is one tough cookie. When a routine insurance claim she's investigating turns into non-routine trouble - someone has put $5,000 in her usually not-too-flush checking account and made it look like she's on the take - Kinsey sets out to discover who has set her up and why.

The trail of evidence leads to the wealthy Wood family, which includes the three quirky sisters Olive, Ash, and Ebony. But she's not counting on the involvement of her long-departed ex-husband #2, who's gorgeous, seductive and also a junkie. And she's certainly not counting on murder . . .

Never a letdown.......2007-03-13

If detective heroines with a minimum of fluff and romance are your thing, this series is made for you if you haven't found it already.

Kinsey Millhone is a heroine just about anyone can love. Unpretentious, feisty and real, she lives in a converted garage apartment and lives simply. Her life revolves around running, her friendship with her 81-year old landlord and her career as a private detective. The series is best if read in order-like any-but out of all the running mystery serials (Evanovich, Hamilton, Paretsky, etc.), this one probably has the least serialization of plot points from one book to another. Kinsey lives alone and she likes it that way. And as much as I love Kinsey, I'm hoping she stays alone and jaded as I've seen more than one mystery series ruined by the introduction of too many boyfriends and bedroom distractions. Do, however, start with "A is for Alibi" since Grafton makes many references to an event that occured in that book in subsequent works.

As for this particular work, I agree with other reviewers that the killer's motive was a little weak but that did not affect my enjoyment of this story. Specifically, Kinsey gets called in on what seems like a routine arson investigation at a family business for her sometime employer, California Fidelity Insurance, and quickly finds herself in a frame-up with multiple suspects. To clear her name, she must take herself on as a client to avoid jail or worse. In the process, someone from Kinsey's past shows up which provides some illumination as to her current outlook on life and her need for solitude. As usual, the action is brisk, the humor is wry and never slapsticky and Kinsey is self-aware and hard-edged without seeming bitter or over the top. I finished this book in 2 days so as with any Grafton, make sure you don't have anywhere to be once you crack the cover.

Grafton has said she intends to finish the alphabet for this series. She's got me until the letter Z.

So-so.......2007-01-29

I wasn't crazy about this one. It still had plenty of mystery to it but the topic of insurance fraud was boring. I am still glad I read it and I liked it enough it just wasn't better then the others before this one. I did like the characters and there was a shock factor at the end. Thats why I didn't competley hate it. I am hoping the next one is better.

Kinsey rules!.......2006-11-10

Sue Grafton has created the best female detective--bar none! Kinsey's cases are realistic, and she is so real that you find yourself looking for her on the street. There is no higher praise for an author.

E is for Evidence.......2006-02-28

Middle of the road. Not fast paced. Did not have that aha! factor.

"E" is for Excellent.......2005-07-13

In this tale, our friend Kinsey, is out to find who started a fire in the Wood/Warren Warehouse. But somewhere in the investigating Kinsey finds herself weaved into this horrible mess. With her life and career on the line here Kinsey stretches to desperate measures to not only find out who started the fire but also who committed murder. Its a rollercoaster ride till the end, but hop on, cause like I said "E" is for Excellent and Exciting!
