Love Sue Grafton and her character Kinsey Milhone
Did not like as well as other Grafton books that I have read. Too much time spent on friends & neighbors.
What is *ever* wrong with a Sue Grafton book and Kinsey Milhone? Nothing. Read it. And then read all of the alphabet.
have the whoe series
Another great story by Sue Grafton.
In the line of Kinsey’s adventures.
Another great read!
Love all of Sue Grafton’s books. Sorry she is no longer with us.
I liked the subject of the book. Haven’t read one like this. The characters were interesting. The reading was a little slow at the beginning, however as I read on I could not put the book down.
Typical Sue Grafton novel – I have enjoyed all of her alphabet novels – they keep me engaged and are a great escape after a stressful day at work!
Who could not love Grafton’s cranky detective, Kinsey Millhone? Great storytelling with original plots and admirable writing.
I loved Sue ever since she started with A. Great creative idea.
I’ve enjoyed this series and will greatly miss this author.
Some features are getting repetitive and I am glad to see the series ending with Z.
Great read as a stand alone. her characters and will miss Kinsey after Y as I feel like I really know her after reading all her books.
I will be so sad when the author gets to “Z.” Love the characters and the writing is always excellent!
Always enjoy these books, and this one did not disappoint
The book was rather boring. It left somethings unanswered and if they are answered in the other lettered novels, i have no intention of reading them. I really didnt find the story line very interedting.
I have read all of Sue Grafton’s books and I find them very entertaining.
I didn’t think it was as funny and adventurous as her other books–especially the first ones.
