ue Grafton has created one of the most interesting private detectives that I have ever met, in her character, Kinsey Millhone. Kinsey is a spunky, stubborn, and intelligent woman who runs her own detective agency. All too frequently she winds up buried deep in a murder, whether it be resent, or old. And she doesn't rely on anything but good old fashioned legwork and logic to solve the mystery. Kinsey can be found in Sue Grafton's books, starting with "A" is for Alibi and the most resent release "N" is for Noose. Each of these 'alaphabet' books can be read without having to read them in order, which is always a pleasure, and the regualar cast of characters, for the most part, are continual...so the familiarity is refreshing.
