Background
This is the first of many mystery books by Sue Grafton or book 1 of the “The Kinsey Millhone Alphabet Mysteries”. These book are each titled with a letter from the alphabet. Starting from A through Y at the time of this review.
Kinsey Millhone is a private eye who is hired to help prove a woman who had already been convicted of murder was really innocent.
My Thoughts
This was a fun read. I was refreshed that the book didn’t spend so much time on the sexuality of the main protagonist who is a woman. The book was written in 1982 so I didn’t quite know what to expect. I was concerned it would have been a throw away quasi romance novel or something else. These days I’m sure we would have had to hear a whole diatribe on her sexual preferences…
However, it was just a mystery novel about how a woman private eye went about life and solved her case. I liked it.
Recommendation
A good read if you like mystery novels.
