Between the COVID-19 pandemic and the colder winter nights ahead of us, it's easy to stay home and curl up with a good book.
One of my favorite mysteries features private investigator Kinsey Millhone, as created and written by Sue Grafton (1940-2017).
A Is For Alibi begins the series.
In the early 1980s thirty-something Millhone was trying to establish her solo career after working for others when the convicted murderer of a divorce attorney just released from prison hired Kinsey to find the real culprit. While skeptical at first, Millhone is one determined detective, especially when events develop to the point that she needs to find out who is killing all the potential suspects?
Kinsey and a memorable cast of supporting characters grew and became more like real people as the series progressed. The books should be read in order alphabetically, with Y is for Yesterday last. Unfortunately Grafton passed away before starting whatever “Z” would have been, but that still leaves us with 25 great adventures to enjoy.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
