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…

One of Sue Grafton’s best books. Wish she lived for “Z” to be written
Another excellent Kinsey Millhone book. I’ve loved reading the entire series by Sue Grafton and am so sad that there won’t be any more. I’m going to go back and read them all again from A through Y. RIP Sue Grafton–you brought us many hours of reading enjoyment.
Love all these books
I’ve read most of this series. I’m a bit surprised that this recent book was a bit dated, but it was still entertaining and fun to read.
I enjoyed this book. As always Sue Grafton is a fun read.
So sad to lose this great author, and short of Z.
I love The Sue Grafton alphabet series but this book got bogged down in minutia. It was dragged out too long and I had a tough time sticking with it. Sorry Sue!
Loved it as usual!
Love the Kinsey Malone series- I hope the publishers find a way to take it to completion.
I shall miss Sue Grafton. She was a wonderful author and I have enjoyed her books so much.
I have enjoyed all the Sue Grafton books! Fast reading, but I never figure out the guilty party till it’s revealed!
Always enjoy Sue Grafton books.
I am a fan of the alphabet series, however, “Y” was difficult to get into, not as easy and captivating read as her other books.
Wonderful writer.
I’ve loved the whole series!
As usual Sue Grafton wrote a engrossing and entertaining book. Wishing that she was still with us to finish the series.
Have read every one of Graftons books and just love them, sorry of her passing and no one to finish the alphabet, I’ll start back at A and read again.
As always these ABC books continue to entertain. Sorry to watch them nearing an end.
I used to really like these books but I found this one boring. Read shortly before the author passed away.
I’ve read everyone in this series. This left me wanting. Not quite as strong as earlier books. Love Kinsey..
