I have wanted to read this series for years and have finally started - and I'm glad I did. This is a great novel that keeps you intrigued and wanting to turn the page to see what's next.

I found this book to have a slow beginning and was a bit outdated as it was written in the early '80s. However, while I had a hunch who the criminal was, it was more twisted than I originally thought. This was a good read overall and will probably read the entire series.

Very good first mystery novel. Best to read her books in order to see her progression to a fine writer; as evidenced by her later books.

Another good one

This was my first Sue Grafton book, and I'm hooked. I'm glad I still have most of the alphabet to go!

Had a hard time getting into it, but the book was great. Can't wait to read B!

First of the Kinsey Millhone Alphabet series, and a pretty solid mystery story, even if you can probably figure out the culprit early on. Kinsey is an intriguing combination of tough and vulnerable, level-headed and impulsive, the kind of character you'd like to learn more about.

When Laurence Fife was murdered, few mourned his passing. A prominent divorce attorney with a reputation for single-minded ruthlessness on behalf of his clients, Fife was also rumored to be a dedicated philanderer. Plenty of people in the picturesque southern California town of Santa Teresa had a reason to want him dead. Including, thought the cops, his young and beautiful wife, Nikki. With motive, access, and opportunity, Nikki was their number-one suspect. The jury thought so, too.

Eight years later and out on parole, Niki Fife hires Kinsey Millhone to find out who really killed her late husband.

A trail that is eight years cold. A trail that reaches out to enfold a bitter, wealthy, and foul-mouthed old woman and a young boy, born deaf, whose memory cannot be trusted. A trail that leads to a lawyer defensively loyal to a dead partnerand disarmingly attractive to Millhone; to an ex-wife, brave, lucid, lovelyand still angry over Fife's betrayal of her; to a not-so-young secretary with too high a salary for too few skillsand too many debts left owing: The trail twists to include them all, with Millhone following every turn until it finally twists back on itself and she finds herself face-to-face with a killer cunning enough to get away with murder.

what a way to start off the ABC books with Kinsey Millhone.
