About this listen

 When Laurence Fife was murdered, few mourned his passing. Plenty of people had reason to want him dead. But the police thought his wife Nikki , with motive, access and opportunity, was the #1 suspect. The jury thought so too.

Eight years later and out on parole, Nikki hires Kinsey Millhone, a gutsy P.I., to find the real killer. The trail is cold, but Kinsey finds a lead that brings her face-to-face with the murderer!

This is the first in the popular series featuring California investigator Kinsey Millhone. She's 32, twice divorced, no kids, an ex-cop who likes her work...and who works strictly alone!

Don't miss the other titles in the Kinsey Millhone Alphabet Mystery Series.©1982 Sue Grafton (P)1993 Books on Tape Mystery Fiction

Critic Reviews

"Grafton has created a woman we feel we know, a tough cookie with a soft center, a gregarious loner....Smart, well-paced and very funny." (Newsweek)

I enjoyed these books when I read them a few years ago, and was pleased to see they were available to listen to. The narrator was excellent, and I look forward to downloading more by Sue Grafton.

A great listen.

I really tried to like this book. I could have overlooked the slightly derivative and unsurprising plot if the main character wasn't so horrible. Her frequent fat shaming rants, disdain for animals and physically hurting a dog made it impossible. I did enjoy the narrator though and will listen to more of her work.

fat shaming and animal abuse...
