THE FINAL INSTALLMENT IN SUE GRAFTON’S ALPHABET SERIES WINNER OF THE ANTHONY/BILL CRIDER AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL IN A SERIES Private investigator Kinsey Millhone confronts her darkest and most disturbing case in this #1 New York Times bestseller from Sue Grafton.In 1979, four teenage boys from an elite private school sexually assault a fourteen-year-old classmate—and film the attack. Not long … classmate—and film the attack. Not long after, the tape goes missing and the suspected thief, a fellow classmate, is murdered. In the investigation that follows, one boy turns state’s evidence and two of his peers are convicted. But the ringleader escapes without a trace.
Now, it’s 1989 and one of the perpetrators, Fritz McCabe, has been released from prison. Moody, unrepentant, and angry, he is a virtual prisoner of his ever-watchful parents—until a copy of the missing tape arrives with a ransom demand. That’s when the McCabes call Kinsey Millhone for help. As she is drawn into their family drama, she keeps a watchful eye on Fritz. But he’s not the only one being haunted by the past. A vicious sociopath with a grudge against Millhone may be leaving traces of himself for her to find…

Kinsey is a interesting character — more 3D than most. Her situations are getting a bit more odd. Still an enjoyable read.
A little slow but still enjoyable
I’ve enjoyed most of the letter books, but not this one. I think her best writing days are behind her.
Love her writing … just enough humor in the character
Not as good as her other books. Rather vulgar in some areas.
Always love Sue Grafton and this series.
I have been a huge fan for decades. Sue Graftons is one of my all time favorite authors!
Kinsey is mature, and even better!
You can’t miss with Sue Grafton – period!
Can’t wait for Z is for . . . . Will be sorry to say good-bye to Kinsey.
i have red most of grafton’s books.
Sue delivers once again. Read it.
Sorry the alphabet mysteries are almost at an end! This was great, and so nice to be with our old friends, characters we’ve known for 25 years! The mystery was a good one; didn’t guess it until almost the end, and even then wasn’t so sure. Recommended.
Love Sue Grafton!! Can’t wait till the next in the series.
If you loved the first 24 you will love this!!
Her best to date.
As always, Ms Grafton doesn’t disappoint
Y is for YEAH! Another great book by Sue Grafton.
Sue Grafton never disappoints! She always leaves you waiting breathlessly for her next book.
The best book by Sue Grafton in the Kinsey Millhone PI alphabet series. A real page turner with several twists that keep you guessing. Really enjoyed this book.
