Publisher's summary

Kinsey Millhone's latest client is Malek Construction, a $40 million company still in family hands. It doesn't take an accountant to see that the four Malek brothers stand to inherit a fortune. But one of the brothers has been missing for 18 years, and Kinsey's assignment is to find him.

The stock of family memories is filled with nothing but bitterness, and the prodigal son will find no comfort at the Malek table. If there's one thing that goes hand in hand with bad blood, it's murder - and that's just around the corner.

Don't miss the other titles in the Kinsey Millhone Alphabet Mystery Series.

One of my favorites

"M is for Malice" is one of my favorites of the Kinsey Millhone books. Note this is the abridged version -- a good abridgment, but still abridged. While I prefer unabridged books, the unabridged version of "M is for Malice" is not read by Judy Kaye and is therefore invalid -- Judy Kaye *IS* Kinsey Millhone. Eventually the publisher wised up and had Kaye read the unabridged books, too, but unless and until they have Kaye record the unabridged versions of the earlier books (hey, I can hope) this version is, IMO, the way to go.

Another winner from Sue Grafton

I love all the books in this series. M is for Malice shows us a softer side of Kinsey.

Touching and memorable

This is one of the best in the series, with two different men showing the vulnerable human side of Kinsey. She is relatable and that’s why we love her!

Keeps your attention. Quick and interesting.

I just love Kinsey. It kept me guessing and wanting to rush to the end to find out who did it. My favorite part of any mystery. I guess that is everyone's favorite part.
