In hindsight, I marvel at how clueless I was . . . What I ask myself even now is whether I should have picked up the truth any faster than I did, which was not nearly fast enough.

Meanwhile, in helping the widow of an old friend - the recently murdered P. I. Pete Wolinksy - with some paperwork, Kinsey uncovers a link between the late investigator and an unhinged man with a history of ruining lives. As Kinsey investigates this sociopath further, she soon becomes his next target. Now Kinsey must prove her case against him, before she becomes his next victim. 'Kinsey Millhone is up there with the giants of the private-eye genre . . . Exhilarating' Times Literary Supplement 'Brilliant . . . Heaven knows what we'll do when Grafton gets to Z' Daily Mail

Rezensionen
Praise for X

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 (starred review)

An inventive plot and incisive character studies elevate MWA Grand Master Grafton s 24th Kinsey Millhone novel....This superior outing will remind readers why this much-loved series will be missed as the end of the alphabet approaches. Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Ratcheting up the heat as she heads toward the finish line of her alphabetically-framed series, Grafton has turned in a corker of a novel with X, upping her already high-level game. The Boston Globe

More Praise for Sue Grafton

Lesser authors churn out books. Grafton continues to knock them out of the park. Scott Coffman, Louisville Courier-Journal

Just beneath the extroverted mask she presents at bookstore appearances is the deeply contemplative writer still determined to stretch her chops and chart territory that removes any semblance of a comfort zone. Sarah Weinman, Los Angeles Times
