A is for Alibi is the first book in Sue Grafton's alphabet mystery series, Kinsey Millhone a 32-year-old Private Investigator living in California. I have just started this series, but I really enjoyed this book. The mystery keeps pages turning as it fascinating, suspenseful and a real fast read. The character Kinsey is very independent, you feel as you now know her, and she is portrayed as somebody you do know. Nikki Fife has just been released from prison after doing 8 years for the murdering her husband, Laurence. Nikki wants Kinsey to find the person who really killed Laurence Kinsey begins to investigate and finds out about another murder committed only days after Laurence's that is extremely similar. The victim was the accountant for Laurence's law firm, Libby Glass, and she was killed using an identical method of poisoning. This trail is 8-years-old, and Kinsey knows it won't be easy to find the truth. Kinsey begins to put together a picture of the people involved and the circumstances that led up to Laurence's murder. But somebody is not too pleased with Kinsey investigating and unveiling facts that could lead to the true murderer. Kinsey gets herself into danger, and as she struggles to put the pieces together, someone is trying to stop ( )
Took awhile to get going, I got confused trying to keep track of who everyone was, and I thought the ending gathered force beautifully before abruptly letting all the air out of itl. That said, the detective is nicely drawn and interesting, and it has all the hallmarks of a successful series--which of course it was. ( )
This was, oddly, my first reading of Sue Grafton, so I logically started with "A." I'm happy enough that I did, as it will be fun to see how Grafton sharpened her skills as she worked her way through the alphabet. This early effort is well written and enjoyable to read, even if the story gets a bit addled as it works toward the conclusion. ( )
