Description

You haven't read a thriller until you read The New York Times #1 bestselling author Sue Grafton's novels with her unforgettable P.I. Kinsey Millhone…

The award-winning author's knockout series introduced detective Kinsey Millhone—and a hot new attitude—to crime fiction…

“Exceptionally entertaining...an offbeat sense of humor and a feisty sense of justice.”San Francisco Chronicle

C IS FOR CALCULATED
How do you go about solving an attempted murder when the victim has lost a good part of his memory? It's one of Kinsey's toughest cases yet, but she never backs down from a challenge. Twenty-three-year-old Bobby Callahan is lucky to be alive after a car forced his Porsche over a bridge and into a canyon. The crash left Bobby with a clouded memory. But he can't shake the feeling it was no random accident and that he's still in danger…

C IS FOR CRIME

The only clues Kinsey has to go on are a little red address book and the name "Blackman." Bobby can't remember who he gave the address book to for safekeeping. And any chances of Bobby regaining his memory are dashed when he's killed in another automobile accident just three days after he hires Kinsey.

C IS FOR CORPSE
As Kinsey digs deeper into her investigation, she discovers Bobby had a secret worth killing for—and unearthing that secret could send Kinsey to her own early death…

    I enjoy Grafton's books and this one has especially good plot. Two criticisms: why oh why all the snark toward overweight people especially women? We're pretty harmless and have enough to deal with. Easy targets. Next thought, unrelated: her books and characters and prose are good enough to read even without the grand finale at the end of every book. Once in a while a more cerebral wrap-up would be fine, and would add to the suspense of the next book. Thanks Sue -

    I thought the ending was too short and too concise.

    If you were disappointed with B is for Burglary, C is for Corpse may lift your spirits. I'm only 20 or so pages in and already feel the suspense and anticipation building. Thank goodness. B is for...left me feeling a loss because I figured out who the bad guy was immediately.
