Spirit of Christmas Past

O is for Outlaw by Sue Grafton

November 22, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

This book was a great look into Kinsey’s past. We have heard offhand via the books that Kinsey was married twice. Her first marriage was to an ex-cop Mickey Macgruder and we know that Kinsey and he parted on bad terms. This book gives us even more information than what we were given before. Mickey was accused of murder and Kinsey bounced. She never talked to Mickey again after the divorce, but you start to see some glimmers in the man which probably is what […]

Kinsey Moves Settings to Slightly Average Results

N is for Noose by Sue Grafton

November 5, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Not a bad look at Kinsey, just not that interesting I have to say. When Kinsey tends to leave Santa Teresa the story-line often suffers. This one just fell flat to me. I think that is because it’s a lot of Kinsey not putting a lot of stuff together and the ending leaving things up in the air about what happens to someone. I don’t like unresolved story-lines, and this one wasn’t resolved to me. “N is for Noose” has Kinsey agreeing to go and […]

A Kinsey Installment Looking at Family

M is for Malice by Sue Grafton

October 15, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

I ended up finishing this book last night and found the overall story to work quite well, while also providing us more details into Kinsey’s maternal family as well as her relationship with Dietz. I was surprised by the ending though since I honestly couldn’t figure out who the murderer was, and when we understand what happened and why I felt pity for the character of Guy Malek. Grafton is often able to write a victim of a murder in such a way that you […]

What Makes a Family

L is for Lawless by Sue Grafton

July 4, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Have to say that this one was pretty good though the usual suspects are not in it much (Rosie, Henry, William, etc.). We have Kinsey following someone who stole something from a neighbor/client’s home and then gets caught up with I guess you can just say are a family of not so bright thieves. Kinsey is still prepping for Rosie and William’s wedding in this one. She is asked by Henry to do a favor for the family of an old neighbor of both of […]

Solid Entry in the World of Kinsey Millhone

K is for Killer by Sue Grafton

July 4, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Sigh. I needed a comfort read and even though I have read this book many many times, I was happy to re-read it again. I have this book in hardcover so it was perfect to read as I sat by the pool on Sunday afternoon. Grafton takes Kinsey through the nightlife in Santa Teresa. She feels adrift as she investigates who could have killed Lorna Kepler. With Henry being away visiting his siblings she feels even more adrift. I liked how Grafton chose to end […]

Everything happens for a reason, but that doesn’t mean there’s a point.

C is for Corpse by Sue Grafton

This is Really Happening by Erin Chack

Empire of Ivory by Naomi Novik

June 8, 2019 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

C is for Corpse – 3/5 Stars The third Kinsey Milhone mystery, and probably the first one that I thought was pretty good. The other two were fine, and only fine, but what was hard to discern about those was who is this narrator and what does she do, want, feel etc. This one has more personality to it and I am beginning to better understand more about her. It begins with a workout partner/guy at the gym hiring her to investigate a devastating carwreck […]
