Summary: Kinsey is funny, tough, fearless, reflective.
Review: I love the series and can't get enough. I'm feeling frustrated knowing I'm catching up to the end of the series. Write more, Ms. Grafton. Kinsey holds a lot of all of us in her - or, we wish we were more like her. Fearless, tough, fights for the underdog, speaks her mind, is clever, smart and very human.

Summary: She keeps getting better and better.......
Review: I read all of Sue Grafton's books in two months, most of them during the two weeks that i was at home from school with the flu. Boy, does she pass the time well! I read A and loved every word of it. Since then, I'm anxiously awaiting O in my mailslot (hello, Amazon, what's taking so long?) This deserves its two awards for one reason: the ending is so damn twisted. i am a dire fan of irony and Kinsey Millhone offers plenty of it, especially in her first few novels. All of the clues are carefully hidden and spread out, put skillfully into casually conversations that have nothing (or seem to have nothing) with the plot itself. It doesn't get five starts for one tiny reason: at the beginning, the pacing was a little slow. it really picks after a while, but it takes time. But that's really just nick-picking. Grafton is probably the modern day Agatha Christie, and I can't wait for 'O'

Summary: A teenagers point of view.
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I didn't read A is for Alibi first i went straight to B. Unlike most teenagers i find it fun to read when i don't have to and after reading b is for burgular i am going to continue and read the rest of her books. I loved this book so much it only took me a week to read it. Sue Grafton kept on making me itching to go back and read if only for ten minutes.

Summary: Good Read
Review: I really enjoyed this book. It is by far one of the best in the series rivaled only by O is for Outlaw and C is for Corpse. Kinsey is in top form in this book and as funny as ever. Grafton spins a great mystery here, a real page turner.

Summary: It kept me interested.
Review: I was interested in the story so much that it only took me one day to read it. I couldn't put it down. I could hardly wait for the end. The only problem I had with the book is the ending is kind of jumbled. It's hard to figure out who is doing what to whom. All in all I think her books are great and I have all of them except O.

Summary: B is for Better than A
Review: In Grafton's second alphabet outing, private investigator Kinsey Millhone tackles a missing persons case during an otherwise slow week at the office. A woman hires Kinsey to track down her sister, who stands to inherit money from a deceased relative, if the sister can be located. The money amounts to very little, so why would anyone want to abduct the missing sister? In fact, why would her sister even hire a private investigator whose fee would exhaust the inheritance money rather than go to the police? Hmmmmmm...Grafton provides several quirky & goof-ball characters as well as some nifty twists and turns. 'B' is a much better story than 'A is for Alibi,' and develops Kinsey to a much better extent, showing that she is a character to keep an eye on. I like the mannerisms Grafton gives her characters...we get to know them through their actions as well as through Kinsey's eyes. Grafton's descriptions of the California and Florida settings are just enough to give you the feeling of being there, yet leaving enough for the reader to imagine. A good read.

Review: Kinsey does it again! She's the queen of the supersleuths ... "B is for Burglar" is B-eautiful

Summary: A female PI with spectacular wit and insight
Review: Kinsey is hired to track down a missing person. It seems like a straight-forward, "quickie" case at first, but it quickly turns into much more than that, as she begins to suspect that the person in question isn't just missing - but dead. I love first-person, private detective stories, and Sue Grafton has to be one of the best writers of this type of mystery out there. Kinsey is so realistic, you can't help but root for her. I love that I only know as much as she does (thanks to that first-person viewpoint), and I discover the clues right along with her, which usually keeps me guessing until the last few pages. I thought a couple of loose ends could have been wrapped up a little better in this particular book, but it wasn't enough to detract from the storyline as it developed. Just a quick example of Kinsey's wit and insight: "There is no place in a P.I.'s life for impatience, faintheartendess, or sloppiness. I understand the same qualifications apply for housewives." (page 33) I'm reading the books in order, and although I enjoyed 'A' is for Alibi slightly more (I liked Kinsey romantically involved, even if her choice of partner left a little to be desired), I'm eagerly looking forward to reading 'C' is for Corpse.

Summary: Kinsey is back
Review: Kinsey Milhone is back and she is paid to look for a woman's sister who has disapeared and no one has heard from her. Well Kinsey thinks this might be a simple lost person's case and doesn't expect to find herself in to what she is getting into. When Elaine Boldt is missing everyone just assumes that she has taken off for Florida like she does every year, but when no one in Florida has heard from her things get odd. Kinsey starts out by talking to the people in Santa Terese who might have seen her before she disappeared, but they all say that they say her shortly before she heads off Florida. While in Florida Kinsey meets an intersting woman who claims that she is a good friend of Elaine and she is just staying in Elaines place untill Elaine gets back. Kinsey isn't to sure of this woman's story and starts to look further. The more Kinsey looks the deeper she gets into this case. This book had me wanting to know more about who did what and how things got to be this way. This was definitly a page turner for me. I'm looking forward to more of Kinsey's adentures and fun.

Summary: Missing person case
Review: Kinsey Millhone is hired by Beverly Danziger to find her sister Elaine, who needs to sign a legal form for Beverly. The sisters have been out-of-touch for awhile and Beverly's efforts at finding Elaine have been unsuccessful. Kinsey accepts the case and begins checking out Elaine's neighbors and friends. When Kinsey suggests filing a missing-person's report with the police, Beverly asks her to stop the investigation. Beverly and her husband begin trading accusations and things become even more confused. Kinsey begins to wonder about the relevance of the death of Elaine's neighbor in a tragic fire, which tangles the web of deception even tighter. This is a well-written story and it contains all the twists and turns necessary to be very pleasing to mystery fans.
