My name is Kinsey Millhone. I'm a private investigator licensed bonded insured; white female age thirty-two unmarried and physically fit. That Monday morning I was sitting in my office with my feet up wondering what life would bring when a woman walked in and tossed a photograph on my desk. ''Somebody killed my husband. '' Published thirty one years after A is for Alibi Sue Grafton''s Kinsey and Me is her first compendium of short stories. It features nine Kinsey Millhone short stories each a gem of detection as well as autobiographical pieces written in the decade after Grafton''s mother died. Together they show just how much Kinsey Millhone is a distillation of her creator's past even as they reveal a child who free of parental discipline read everything and roamed everywhere. But the dark side of such freedom was that very parental distance. This dazzling and often moving collection displays the depth and range of Grafton's writing and reminds us of her unique talent as a storyteller. . Language: English
