Q is for Quarry: A Kinsey Millhone Mystery

It's such an easy listen. Perfect length for a trip. I can never wait for the next letter!

I have read or heard all of the Sue Grafton books, and always look forward to the latest adventures of Kinsey Milhone. The plot of solving an old, cold case was a good one, but I found I missed any references to the personal or emotional life of Kinsey. The older detectives she worked with in this case really started to depress me with all their health and eating problems!
But my main problem with this audio version is the distracting, shrill voice of the narrator, especially when she tries to capture the voice of older people, they end up all sounding (or shrieking)the same! I would rather read the print version....

Kindsy Millhone has become a comfortable, old friend. I can think of no reader other than Judy Kaye to portray her. Never boring. The sound person may have been asleep at the switch, but it wasn't bad. Certainly wasn't Judy Kaye's fault. Her reading, as always, was flawless. I loved the book.

Sue Grafton is a wonderful writer and her story lines always move right along. This book is no exception, but it is wearing a little thin now. Q is for Quarry is filled with the delights of Kinsey, however the details are getting to be to much and the plotline is a little over developed in my opinion.

these just don't come out fast enough for me, read or heard them all and i always eagerly await the next.

the stories are always solid and not so easy that you guess from the beginning.

Grafton doesn't disapoint in this one either. Judy kaye is my favorite reader, she meters out the lines like you would yourself.

I have read most of the Alphabet Queen's novels, and many of them are absolutely brilliant. Not this one, though, and it seems that Grafton is loosing her touch.
There are many lengths in the novel, and the plot is not as gripping as in some of her earlier work. The true crime angel and the great showdown make up for some of the shortcomings.

Kinsey has become an old friend and continues on her way with another submission that is better than the last. Sue Grafton continues to weave the history of Kinsey and friends which is getting pretty difficult while telling a different mystery in each book. Does anyone else catch the 1 to 3 unusual word choices that are in every book? She must do some real digging to come up with them.

My only regret is that we are getting close to "Z" and I don't think there will be an "AA". I have been re-reading her earlier works and they are just as much fun each time I read them. Sue Grafton is the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle of our times.

I've just started listening to Q is for Quarry and find the writing to be very enjoyable, as I have in all the previous Sue Grafton books that I have read featuring Kinsey Milhone. However, I don't care for the narrator, and find she detracts from my enjoyment of the book. I have read all the previous books, and like the way Sue Grafton develops plot and character. I expect this will not disappoint.

Enjoyed this book, it was intresting to retreat to a late 60's murder and solve it in modern times. Some of the tie in's after 30 years seems a bit far fetched. Sue Grafton seems to detour from the main plot in an effort to tie in previous book sub-plots of Kinsey's past. The two retired and feable policemen did not add much to the book cast of charactors. I do like the idea of using an old unsolved murder as the basis for the novel, it keeps you thinking even after you've finished the book.

Yes, I would definately reccoment this to others. The reader is very personable and keeps her many voices seperate! I wouldn't be able to do as well as she did!

I like the way she has a different voice for each character. Helps bring them alive!

Not that I can think of right now.
