ReviewsPraise for V is for Vengeance : "Sure to satisfy."- USA Today "Central to the books' appeal is not the hoodlums and their crimes-which are often fueled by alcohol or stupidity rather than the epic, high-stakes evil driving other crime books-but rather Kinsey herself…She is witty and weary and a lot of fun."- Los Angeles Times "One of Kinsey Millhone's best outings…must reading for Grafton fans."- The Globe and Mail (Canada) "Grafton exhibits the pace, form, and technique of a marathon champ in her latest."- The Kansas City Star "The author has hit a high mark with her latest offering, a complex tale of love, betrayal, ambition, and, of course, murder…The only bad thing: There are just four letters left in the alphabet."- The Associated Press "Terrific."- Booklist, Praise for V is for Vengeance "Sure to satisfy."-- USA Today "Central to the books' appeal is not the hoodlums and their crimes--which are often fueled by alcohol or stupidity rather than the epic, high-stakes evil driving other crime books--but rather Kinsey herself...She is witty and weary and a lot of fun."-- Los Angeles Times "Grafton exhibits the pace, form, and technique of a marathon champ in her latest."-- The Kansas City Star "The author has hit a high mark with her latest offering, a complex tale of love, betrayal, ambition, and, of course, murder...The only bad thing: There are just four letters left in the alphabet."--Associated Press More Praise for Sue Grafton and the Alphabet Series "I'm going to miss Kinsey Millhone. Ever since the first of Sue Grafton's Alphabet mysteries, A Is For Alibi , came out in 1982, Kinsey has been a good friend and the very model of an independent woman, a gutsy Californian P.I. rocking a traditional man's job...it's Kinsey herself who keeps this series so warm and welcoming. She's smart, she's resourceful, and she's tough enough to be sensitive on the right occasions."-- New York Times Book Review "The consistent quality and skillful innovations in this alphabet series justify all the praise these books have received over the past 35 years."-- Wall Street Journal "A superb storyteller."-- Publishers Weekly "Grafton's endless resourcefulness in varying her pitches in this landmark series, graced by her trademark self-deprecating humor, is one of the seven wonders of the genre."-- Kirkus Reviews "Grafton is a writer of many strengths--crisp characterizations, deft plotting, and eloquent dialogue among them--and she has kept her long-running alphabet mystery series fresh and each new release more welcome than the last."-- Louisville Courier-Journal "[Grafton's] ability to give equal weight to the story of the detective and the detective story sets her apart in the world of crime fiction."-- Richmond Times-Dispatch

SynopsisA spiderweb of dangerous relationships lies at the heart of this daring Kinsey Millhone mystery from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sue Grafton. Private detective Kinsey Millhone feels a bit out of place in any department store's lingerie section, but she's entirely in her element when she puts a stop to a brazen shoplifting spree. For her trouble she nearly gets run over in the parking lot by one of the fleeing thieves--and later learns that the one who didn't get away has been found dead in an apparent suicide. But Audrey Vance's grieving fiance suspects murder and hires Kinsey to investigate a case that will reveal a big story behind a small crime and lead her into a web that connects a shadowy "private banker," an angry trophy wife, a spoiled kid with a spiraling addiction, and a brutal killer without a conscience...

  • Finishing the Series

    I became hooked on the Sue Grafton Alphabet Series featuring PI Kinsey Millhone a year ago. The main character, Kinsey Millhone, could be the girl next door but happens to be a PI who is committed to her job.
