GRAFTON, SUE M Is for Malice
Fawcett November 26, 19 0-449-22360-4 / 9780449223604 Paperback Very Good
"Every investigation has a nature of its own, but there are certain shared characteristics," explains private eye Kinsey Millhone in her 13th alphabet ic outing. "Here's what you hope for: a chance remark from the former neigh bor on a skip-trace, a penciled notation on the corner of a document, an ex -spouse with a grudge, the number on an account, an item overlooked at the scene of a crime. Here's what you expect: the dead ends, bureaucratic bullh eadedness, the cul-de-sacs, trails that go nowhere or simply fade into thin air, denials, prevarications, the blank-eyed stares from all the hostile w itnesses. Here's what you know: that you've done it before and you have the toughness and determination to pull it off again. Here's what you want: ju stice. Here's what you'll settle for: something equivalent, the quid pro qu o." All of the above are on display in Grafton's latest entry in her increa singly popular series set in a thinly-disguised Santa Barbara, as the virtu ally ageless Kinsey finds and loses a missing heir and gets back an old lov er.

Tom Newquist had been a detective in the Nota Lake sheriff's office--a toug h, honest cop respected by everyone. When he died suddenly, the townfolk we re sad but not surprised. Just shy of sixty-five, Newquist worked too hard, drank too much, and exercised too little. Newquist's widow, Selma, didn't doubt the coroner's report. But still, she couldn't help wondering what had so bothered Tom in the last six weeks of his life. What was it that had made him prowl restlessly at night and brood constantly? Determined to help Selma find the answer, Kinsey Millhone sets up shop in Nota Lake, where she finds that looking for a needle in a haystack can draw blood--very likely, her own. . . .

Grafton, Sue P Is for Peril (A Marian Wood Book)
Putnam Adult June 4, 2001 0-399-14719-5 / 9780399147197 1st Edition Hardcover Very Good/Very Good
A highly collectible first edition no markings throughout. When Dowan Purcell, a respected physician who operates a nursing home, disa ppears, his ex-wife hires Santa Teresa PI Kinsey Millhone to look into it. Fiona Purcell is still seething over Dow's affair and subsequent marriage t o Crystal, a former stripper, yet they're still friends, and she seems worr ied. But when his body is discovered, she's among the suspects. Both of Dow 's wives, at least one of his business partners, and perhaps even Crystal's teenage daughter had motives to kill. While in her most recent adventures (N Is for Noose, O Is for Outlaw) Kinsey has acquired new digs, an extended family, and a few more gray hairs, in this one (which takes place some time in the mid-'80s), she's 36, still living in the remodeled garage that was blown up in an earlier novel. Easier than a facelift, and while Sue Grafton is a solid enough writer to pull it off, dedicated Kinsey fans will miss the more complex and multidimensional character who aged so ruefully and interestingly in the '90s. This isn't Grafton's strongest case; it's hard to care about any of Purcell's women or his associates. More exciting is the secondary plot, which involves a handsome landlord who offers Kinsey the new office space she's been seeking and turns out to be a lot more trouble than she bargained for. Despite its somewhat plodding pace and the echo of a more evolved heroine that rings through its pages, Grafton's many fans will probably shoot P Is for Peril right to the top of the bestseller list. --Jane Adams

Grafton, Sue Q Is for Quarry
Macmillan October 4, 2002 0-333-90653-5 / 9780333906538 1st Edition Trade Paperbac Very Good
The core tale, based on fact, is as unsettling as it is gripping: Eighteen years ago, the unidentified body of a young girl was discovered decomposing in Grayson Quarry of Santa Teresa, California. Detective Stacey Oliphant a nd Lt. Con Dolan, two driven cops who've hung with the case for most of the ir careers, have never been able to learn who the woman was or catch her ki ller. Battling age and health issues, they ask Kinsey to take a crack at so lving the "Jane Doe" mystery. Although all leads are long-cold by now, Kins ey follows every one of them up, interviewing witnesses whose memories of e vents have either dwindled or become wholly fictitious with time. One of he r only clues is the woman's prominent teeth, which she hopes will spark som eone's recollection. At the center of the puzzle lies not only a killer but also a link to Kinsey's own troubled past.

Grafton, Sue S is for Silence
Pan Books 2006 0-330-43888-3 / 9780330438889 Paperback Fine
Kinsey Millhone has kept her appeal by being distinctive and sympathetic wi thout craving center stage. While some mysteries that provide the PI's shoe size or most despised food create a forced and intrusive intimacy, a maste r like Grafton makes the relationship relaxed and reassuring. Millhone's li fe is modest and familiar, though her love life, now featuring police detec tive Cheney Phillips, tends to be oddly remote. This 19th entry (after 2004 's R Is for Ricochet) adopts a new convention: Millhone's customary intelli gent and occasionally self-deprecating first-person reportage is interrupte d by vignettes from the days surrounding the Fourth of July, 34 years earli er, when a hot-blooded young woman named Violet Sullivan disappeared. Viole t's daughter, Daisy, who was seven at the time, hires Millhone to discover her mother's true fate. Violet had toyed with every man in town at one time or another, so there's no shortage of scandalous secrets and possible susp ects.

Grafton, Sue T is for Trespass
Berkley November 25, 20 0-425-22484-8 / 9780425224847 Paperback Very Good
Starred Review. The 20th Kinsey Millhone crime novel (after 2005's S Is for Silence), a gripping, if depressing, tale of identify theft and elder abus e, displays bestseller Grafton's storytelling gifts. By default, Millhone, a private investigator in the small Southern California town of Santa Teres a, assumes responsibility for the well-being of an old neighbor, Gus Vronsk y, injured in a fall. After Vronsky's great-niece arranges to hire a home a ide, Solana Rojas, Millhone begins to suspect that Rojas is not all that sh e seems. Since the reader knows from the start that an unscrupulous master manipulator has stolen the Rojas persona, the plot focuses not on whodunit but on the battle of wits Millhone wages with an unconventional and formida ble adversary. Grafton's mastery of dialogue and her portrayal of the limit s of good intentions make this one of the series' high points, even if two violent scenes near the end tidy up the pieces a little too neatly.

Grafton, Sue U is for Undertow
Penguin Group (USA) Inc. Aug 2010 0-425-24000-2 / 9780425240007 Paperback Near Fine
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: It's April, 1988, a month before Kinsey Millhone's thirty-eighth birthday, and she's alone in her office doing paperwork when a young man arrives unannounced. He has a preppy air about him and looks as if he'd be carded if he tried to buy booze, but Michael Sutton is twenty-seven, an unemployed college dropout. Twenty-one years earlier, a four-year-old girl disappeared. A recent reference to her kidnapping has triggered a flood of memories. Sutton now believes he stumbled on her lonely burial when he was six years old. He wants Kinsey's help in locating the child's remains and finding the men who killed her. It's a long shot but he's willing to pay cash up front, and Kinsey agrees to give him one day. As her investigation unfolds, she discovers Michael Sutton has an uneasy relationship with the truth. In essence, he's the boy who cried wolf. Is his current story true or simply one more in a long line of fabrications?
