Q is for Quarry

Written by Kathy B on March 27th, 2008

This was an enjoyable, easy-to-listen-to Kinsey Milhone. I have only read a few of her books, but I enjoy her style and method of detecting. Although she is self-deprecating at times, she still manages to do almost everything right. I also enjoy the narrator's 'voice of Kinsey' and will work my way through the series.

I imagined Kinsey Milhone's voice deeper, but the reader, whose name I do not know, had everything else so close that I forgot about that after awhile. Kinsey stopped growing as a character many books back, so the stories are driven by how likeable she is and the interest of the plots. This one had enough twists and turns to keep me interested and Kinsey is as engaging a person as always.

Sounds familiar

This is my fourth Grafton alpha series book. They are all beginning to sound the same.

This again was a winner. Sue Grafton is a wonderful writer and a true word smith. She takes us in with her detective Kinsey Milhone so real and honest, then gives us the ride of our lives. We are kept on the edge of our seats till the very end. I can't wait till I listen to "S" is for Silence.
