Background
Published in 1988, “E” is for Evidence is the fifth installment of Sue Grafton’s Alphabet Series. The protagonist is Kinsey Millhone. A no nonsense private investigator who solves crimes while only occasionally bending the rules.
Kinsey begins by doing a simple insurance claim on a warehouse fire but quickly becomes framed as a co-conspirator. She doesn’t know who she can trust as the framers seem to know every step she takes.
My Thoughts
This book was a little more personal than the rest. We see Kinsey make a friend out of a rival/enemy and even meet her second husband. We, as readers, are able to see why she has been so guarded and why she hasn’t been in a hurry to have men in her life.
Recommendation
A good read. There are some themes which aren’t for children.
