About this ebook
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Alphabet series comes a collection of stories that “combines glimpses of her series detective, Kinsey Millhone, with a revealing self-portrait” (Publishers Weekly).
In 1982, Sue Grafton introduced Kinsey Millhone and created an iconic female detective. Here, in a story collection divided into two parts, Sue Grafton provides a glimpse of her own early life in the guise of the character Kit Blue, and enriches our understanding of Kinsey Millhone, one of the spunkiest, smartest, and most entertaining private investigators in all of mystery fiction.
“Terrific...The Kinsey stories and the Kit stories together open a window into Grafton's soul.”—USA Today

The first set of short stories were very familiar, amusing, light and enjoyable. The second set were altogether different, dark, intensely personal, and very revealing. The funny thing is that both sets are in their own way (the second set is actually identified as autobiographical) reflections of the author.

I have always loved Sue Grafton's books. But these short stories tells you a lot about how Kinsey is the alter ego to Sue Grafton. The stories are both funny and ultimately sad. A very good read.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Sue Grafton first introduced Kinsey Millhone in the Alphabet Series in 1982. Soon after, both writer and heroine became icons and international bestsellers. Ms. Grafton was a writer who consistently broke the bonds of genre while never writing the same book twice. Named a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America, her awards and honors included the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Private Eye Writers of America, the Ross Macdonald Literary Award, the Cartier Diamond Dagger Award from Britain's Crime Writers' Association, the Lifetime Achievement Award from Malice Domestic, a Lifetime Achievement Award from Bouchercon, three Shamus Awards, and three Anthony Awards—including the first two ever awarded.
