READ THE SENSATIONAL BLOCKBUSTER THAT STARTED IT ALL! Take it from the top in #1 New York Times bestselling author Sue Grafton’s knockout thriller that introduced detective Kinsey Millhone–and a hot new attitude–to crime fiction… A IS FOR AVENGER A tough-talking former cop, private investigator Kinsey Millhone has set up a modest detective agency in a quiet corner of Santa Teresa, … agency in a quiet corner of Santa Teresa, California. A twice-divorced loner with few personal possessions and fewer personal attachments, she’s got a soft spot for underdogs and lost causes.
A IS FOR ACCUSED
That’s why she draws desperate clients like Nikki Fife. Eight years ago, she was convicted of killing her philandering husband. Now she’s out on parole and needs Kinsey’s help to find the real killer. But after all this time, clearing Nikki’s bad name won’t be easy.
A IS FOR ALIBI
If there’s one thing that makes Kinsey Millhone feel alive, it’s playing on the edge. When her investigation turns up a second corpse, more suspects, and a new reason to kill, Kinsey discovers that the edge is closer–and sharper–than she imagined.

I have read almost all of these books and all are really good. Love the characters.
A good solid series. Not fantastic, but enjoyable.
Sue Grafton was a world-class mystery writer and her Kinsey Millhone novels from A through Y are worth reading. Start with this first one and become friends with Kinsey and her neighbors. She is great at solving mysteries and it is challenging to try and figure it out before her solution.
I love this series!!
Sue Grafton has created a quirky mystery solving character that has led us from A to… Once you start you’ll want to read them all.
Loved the first few books of this series. Gritty woman detective
First of many great books in this series!,
have read most of the series, you have to start with A, good book, enjoyed
Read the series and loved them all.
All of her books are great. It is best to start at the beginning, so here it is! Ms. Grafton purposely did not fully describe her characters so each reader could imagine Kinsey Milhone from her own point of view. (I named my younger daughter Kinsey….)
Love this Series of books! Always waiting for the next one in line….
I really enjoyed this first book in the alphabet series. I think Sue Grafton is one of the beat. Beautifully written. If you like to read don’t miss it.
I read this book years ago. I really don’t remember the plot but I remember that I liked the book and the main characters so much that I could’t wait to read the next book in the series and then the next. I’ve read the entire series and enjoyed every one.
I have read most of the books in this series and have always enjoyed them.
Great start to this series.
I read this book and every book she wrote there after. Sue Grafton write a great mystery. this book came out over 35 years ago and I have been reading all the books there after. Was sad to find out she died and there would be any more ABC mysteries from her. As the book get up the alphabet they get more gritty. I like books that have the same characters in them time after time. I think all mystery lovers will like this set of books.
Kinsey is a great character
The first of a wonderful series. Each book leaves you waiting for the next one!
One of the best series written.
I loved this series
