I have been reading Sue Grafton for the past several years and loved all of her alphabet series starring her P.I. Kinsey Milhone. Sue Grafton's newest offering features several short stories starring Kinsey Milhone.
For fans who have missed Ms. Grafton's novels told from Kinsey's point of view this is definitely a novel you want to read. With Ms. Grafton's heroine investigating everything from a missing mother of three to the unexpected murder of a man whose body's gone missing you will definitely be hard pressed to figure out whose done it in these short stories. Out of the short stories the only one I didn't care for was the last one in the collection starring the two brothers', this story unlike the other ones was merely a few pages and didn't have as much detail as the other stories.
Additionally, Ms. Grafton includes a preface explaining where she first got her ideas of writing about Kinsey Milhone and her past childhood and marriages and how all of her experiences helped to shape the Kinsey Milhone persona.
The only thing that I really didn't care for in this collection is the character of Kit Blue. I have never heard of this character before and to have this character who came out of the blue and whose character appeared in the latter half of the stories in this novel. Since I understood this to be a collection of short stories starring Kinsey Milhone I was very disappointed by the inclusion of this character.
I would still recommend this short story collection to long time fans of Sue Grafton!
