Reviews"TERRIFIC."- USA Today "Nine crisply plotted Millhone tales, each with a clever hook…[and] moving and surprising insights into the woman behind the bestsellers."- Publishers Weekly "[A] triumph."- Richmond Times-Dispatch "Beyond question the most likeable of all private eyes."- Kirkus Reviews "It's a pleasure just to be in Kinsey's company as she refreshes the formula conventions with her snappy wit and candid opinions."- The New York Times Book Review, Praise for Kinsey and Me "Nine crisply plotted Millhone tales, each with a clever hook...[and] moving and surprising insights into the woman behind the bestsellers."-- Publishers Weekly "Sparkling stories...brutally honest, emotionally powerful...a revelatory triumph."-- Richmond Times-Dispatch "There are gems inside that fans of Grafton's 'alphabet series' of Kinsey Millhone detective capers are sure to enjoy."-- Fort Worth Star-Telegram More Praise for Sue Grafton and the Alphabet Series "I'm going to miss Kinsey Millhone. Ever since the first of Sue Grafton's Alphabet mysteries, A Is For Alibi , came out in 1982, Kinsey has been a good friend and the very model of an independent woman, a gutsy Californian P.I. rocking a traditional man's job...it's Kinsey herself who keeps this series so warm and welcoming. She's smart, she's resourceful, and she's tough enough to be sensitive on the right occasions."-- New York Times Book Review "The consistent quality and skillful innovations in this alphabet series justify all the praise these books have received over the past 35 years."-- Wall Street Journal "A superb storyteller."-- Publishers Weekly "Grafton's endless resourcefulness in varying her pitches in this landmark series, graced by her trademark self-deprecating humor, is one of the seven wonders of the genre."-- Kirkus Reviews "Grafton is a writer of many strengths--crisp characterizations, deft plotting, and eloquent dialogue among them--and she has kept her long-running alphabet mystery series fresh and each new release more welcome than the last."-- Louisville Courier-Journal "[Grafton's] ability to give equal weight to the story of the detective and the detective story sets her apart in the world of crime fiction."-- Richmond Times-Dispatch

SynopsisFrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Alphabet series comes a collection of stories that "combines glimpses of her series detective, Kinsey Millhone, with a revealing self-portrait" ( Publishers Weekly ). In 1982, Sue Grafton introduced Kinsey Millhone and created an iconic female detective. Here, in a story collection divided into two parts, Sue Grafton provides a glimpse of her own early life in the guise of the character Kit Blue, and enriches our understanding of Kinsey Millhone, one of the spunkiest, smartest, and most entertaining private investigators in all of mystery fiction. "Terrific...The Kinsey stories and the Kit stories together open a window into Grafton's soul."-- USA Today

Not what I expected
Never bothered to write a review before but want to warn others to save their money. If this was my first exposure to Kinsey Milhone I wouldn't have all of her novels on my bookshelf. Pretty sad stories...one story was not even a story it was the old "think" piece about " if one person could only tell the truth and the other could only lie...how could you tell which was the liar asking only one question"? Honestly, that's not a story and it was only 2 pages long. I will say the writing is compelling in the area of the author's life but it was depressing and confusing. For the child of an addicted parent there might be some slight help in stories derived from the author's childhood but that's the best I can say. I think Ms. Grafton would have been well advised to take her cathartic thoughts on her childhood to a self-help group or her therapist. She should not have tried to make a book out of her tragic childhood and a few ideas for story lines for Kinsey that she couldn't turn into full novels.. Very disappointing but.....she does write well...I appreciate good allegory, she just chose her subject matter poorly in this case. This is NOT escape literature, folks.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
