Now Available on CD!3 CDs/ 3 hoursRead by Judy KayePlenty of people in the picturesque town of Santa Teresa, California, wanted Laurence Fife, a ruthless divorce attorney, dead. Including, thought the cops, his young and beautiful wife, who was convicted of the crime.Now, eight years later and out on parole, Nikki Fife hires Kinsey Millhone to find out who really killer her husband. Kinsey must pursue a trail that's eight years old: one that leads from a young boy, born deaf, whose memory cannot be trusted; to a lawyer defensively loyal to his dead partner - and disarmingly attractive to Millhone; to a not-so-young secretary with too high a salary for far too few skills.This train will twist to include them all, with Kinsey following every turn until it finally twists back on itself and she fins herself face-to-face with a killer cunning enough to get away with murder.
Judy Kaye - no other voice is meant to be Kinsey TVNerd95 The characters in this book are great from the main character Kinsey to the bar owner Rosie. The author quickly develops a world of folks around Kinsey that you know will be ever present in other books. Also, the characters specific to the case Kinsey is working are very well developed. You want to root for Nikki Fife, Kinsey’s client.Sue Grafton does an excellent job of grounding this story into reality and by that I mean the case, the events are very normal and fit with the timeline of the series. The characters have assets, flaws, and trauma but don’t seem to be exaggerations or stereotypes. Als. Mary Laura Corriss said Completely Enjoyable. A friend gave me one of the "alphabet books" by Sue Grafton. I loved it so decided to start at the beginning with "A is for Alibi".Kinsey Millhone is a private investigator dealing with realistic cases, making her someone with whom it is easy to relate. The books are suspenseful, light-hearted, entertaining, and like the main character, optimistic. The book left me feeling satisfied with the conclusion but wanting more, so I just purchased the next book in the series. I highly recommend this book.. Great mystery great characters My husband has been trying to get me read this series and I now understand why. Kinsey is a fantastic character. Can't wait to start the next book. Its and easy read and thoroughly entertaining. Whether you love mysteries or not, Sue Grafton will feel you in.
A pleasure to read.” Dorothy Salisbury Davis“This is what grandpa used to call a class act.” Stanley Ellin “Wit is the most versatile weapon in Sue Grafton's well-stocked arsenal, and she uses it with disarming precision. Grafton excels in this milieu.” Newsweek on the Sue Grafton series and Kinsey Millhone“A wonderful character, tough but not brutish, resourceful and sensitive, a fit knight to walk those mean streets with her male predecessors.” Los Angeles Times on the Sue Grafton series and Kinsey Millhone“Somebody I want to spend more time with.” The New York Times Book Review on the Sue Grafton series and Kinsey Millhone“Bright, brisk, and thoroughly engaging.” The Washington Post on the Sue Grafton series and Kinsey Millhone“Bright, brisk, and thorough
