A is for Alibi by Sue Grafton A Is For Alibi,
the first mystery in the Kinsey Millhone series certainly
proved that author, Sue Grafton, knew more than her 'ABCs'
about what murder mystery fans enjoy! This book introduced
Grafton's, Kinsey Millhone, a sometimes-not-so-tough cookie
female detective. Kinsey is a determined, aloof and attractive
private detective who zooms around the picturesque city of
Santa Teresa, California (a thinly disguised Santa Barbara),
looking for assignments that will test her crime solving skills.
In this first mystery
of the popular series, Laurence Fife, a hardhearted divorce
lawyer, is the victim of foul play. Who could have killed
him? Almost anyone, it seems. He had more enemies than friends,
that is for certain. However, it seems that it was Fife's
beautiful and very young wife, Nikki, who was ultimately convicted
of murdering her husband.
Eight years later, Nikki
is out on parole and hires Kinsey Millhone, Santa Teresa's
babe of a detective, to find the real killer and clear her
name. Will Kinsey be able to solve an already open and shut
case? If you enjoy this book and the sometimes wacky world
of Kinsey Millhone, there are plenty more editions to keep
you guessing in the ABC murder series by Sue Grafton.
