A is for Alibi

Kinsey Millhone #1 / 25
by Sue Grafton
A is for Alibi (Kinsey Millhone #1) by Sue Grafton
Unrated

Take it from the top in #1 New York Times bestselling author Sue Grafton's knockout thriller that introduced detective Kinsey Millhone―and a hot new attitude―to crime fiction…

A IS FOR AVENGER
A tough-talking former cop, private investigator Kinsey Millhone has set up a modest detective agency in a quiet corner of Santa Teresa, California. A twice-divorced loner with few personal possessions and fewer personal attachments, she's got a soft spot for underdogs and lost causes.

A IS FOR ACCUSED
That's why she draws desperate clients like Nikki Fife. Eight years ago, she was convicted of killing her philandering husband. Now she's out on parole and needs Kinsey's help to find the real killer. But after all this time, clearing Nikki's bad name won't be easy.

A IS FOR ALIBI
If there's one thing that makes Kinsey Millhone feel alive, it's playing on the edge. When her investigation turns up a second corpse, more suspects, and a new reason to kill, Kinsey discovers that the edge is closer―and sharper―than she imagined.

Sue Grafton

Sue Grafton

In Sue Grafton's bestselling mystery series, hard-boiled detective Kinsey Millhone is an ex-cop and rebellious loner. Now a private investigator, she solves all the most difficult cases in (fictional) Santa Theresa, California.

In her 30s, Millhone ages one year every 2 1/2 books, from 32 in A to 38 in W. http://www.suegrafton.com/bookshelf.php

Sue Grafton died in December 2017, and her daughter said in the death announcement that Sue had not wanted a ghost writer to continue the series, so the series ends with book 25, Y is for Yesterday.
