Our reviews of Sue Grafton's work
S is for Silence
by Sue Grafton
The 19th Kinsey Millhone. A 1953 cold case investigated in 1987, with extensive flashbacks and a structurally bold approach.
T is for Trespass
by Sue Grafton
The 20th Kinsey Millhone. Sue Grafton writing the late-series novel that almost no one writes well. A neighbor's elderly father, a new nurse, and one of the best villains of the form.
U is for Undertow
by Sue Grafton
The 21st Kinsey Millhone. A 1967 child-kidnapping case reopened by an adult recovered memory. Grafton at her structural best.
V is for Vengeance
by Sue Grafton
The 22nd Kinsey Millhone. A shoplifting operation, a banker's wife, and a Santa Teresa criminal economy that Grafton renders with care.
W is for Wasted
by Sue Grafton
The 23rd Kinsey Millhone. Sue Grafton near the end of the alphabet, writing two parallel cold cases and one of the most emotionally resonant entries in the series.
