Description

For The New York Times #1 bestselling author Sue Grafton's PI Kinsey Millhone, danger comes with the job—but she never expects to find herself at the top of a hit man's list . . .

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

G IS FOR GAME
When Irene Gersh asks PI Kinsey Millhone to locate her elderly mother Agnes, whom she hasn't heard from in six months, it's not exactly the kind of case Kinsey jumps for. But a girl's gotta pay her bills, and this should be easy money—or so she thinks. Kinsey finds Agnes in a hospital. Aside from her occasional memory lapses, the octogenarian seems fine. And frightened.

G IS FOR GUN
Kinsey doesn't know what to make of Agnes's vague fears and bizarre ramblings, but she's got her own worries. It seems Tyrone Patty, a criminal she helped put behind bars, is looking to make a hit. First, Kinsey's car is run off the road, and then days later, she's almost gunned down, setting in motion a harrowing cat and mouse game . . .

G IS FOR GUMSHOE
So Kinsey decides to hire a bodyguard. With PI Robert Dietz watching her 24/7, Kinsey is feeling on edge…especially with their growing sexual tension. Then Agnes dies of an apparent homicide, and Kinsey realizes the old lady wasn't so senile after all—maybe she was trying to tell her something? Now Kinsey's determined to learn the truth . . . even if it kills her.

    I. Usually love these mysteries but this one was a little slow saturating and more descriptive than others I've read. But stll a good read.
