Book Review of Y is for Yesterday (Kinsey Millhone, Bk 25)

Y is for Yesterday (Kinsey Millhone, Bk 25)
reviewed on


I have read every book from this Author, but this one I could not get past 150 pages. I was so revolted by some of the content. I agree with the last reviewer and could only give it one star. I have read other reviewers stating that they don't believe this was written by her. I paid close attention to the writing style and believe the first 100 pages were probably written by her, but after that the quality of the writing changed . It became very repetitive, sometimes repeating whole paragraphs. The pages were filled with minute boring details to the point of absurdity. Sue Grafton was very good at describing scenes but this went way beyond anything I had read from her. There seemed to be absolutely NO editing, hence the almost 550 pages. All I can say is that it was a shame to end a relationship with one of my favorite authors on that sorry note. I realize this book was written while she was quite ill. The publishers should be ashamed this went to print as is. Rest in peace, dear Sue, I will miss you.
