B Is for Burglar

A Kinsey Millhone Mystery

De: Sue Grafton

Narrado por: Mary Peiffer

Duración: 7 h y 41 m

Resumen del Editor

A wealthy woman needs to find her sister to settle a will. It looks routine...boring. Still, business is slow and even a private investigator has bills to pay, so Kinsey Millhone takes the case.

But this is not routine and the deeper Kinsey digs the trickier things get. The client tries to call Kinsey off, an accusing husband surfaces, and a double murder turns the case sinister. Kinsey feels adrift in a fog of distortion, where nothing, except danger, is quite what it seems.

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

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Unconventional, unsentimental, Millhone's a fine addition to the ranks of fictional private eyes." (The Houston Chronicle)

A good story.

Having listened to many if this series. B is for Burglar is good but not great.

ABC

I loved it. Sue is so good at bringing you in. B is for Bravo.

I Did Finish It

I did finish this book, even after reading "A is for Alibi." But I won't get any of the others by this author. After reading David Baldacci's books, this is just too simple. The Andy Carpenter series by David Rosenfelt are lighter than Baldacci and much preferred over this author. But this is just my unsolicited opinion...

great story

the story is great. Keeps you guessing. Lots of twists and turns. The narrator is OK. Much better than the narrator used for her first novel alibi.

pretty good

very good naration.
loved listening
story pretty good
i enjoy her mataphores very poetic and moving

Back again for B is for Burglar

I actually had not heard this since it was first out on Books on Tape a looooong time ago and wanted to hear it again! To me it was actually fun to hear the old Books on Tape stuff at the very start of the book.
Although still a good story the second time through, I can really see (hear) why so many reviewers were not very happy with the early books just because of the reader Ms. Peiffer.
Although she reads the story fine, as with several other readers of various books, she just doesn't seem to have the correct or expected 'tonal quality' for the character in this story, in my opinion!!!
If you're just discovering the "Alphabet" series, I'd still recommend giving it a listen, or, especially in the early stages of this series, get the abridged version and hear the reader that now has become the ONLY reader of the series for the most part, abridged or unabridged, Judy Kaye!
She IS Kinsey Millhone!

Second time around

This is second time around for this series. Read first time ,now listsning. Just always enjoy her stories

Full of intriguing twists.

Would you consider the audio edition of B is for Burglar to be better than the print version?

Only because I can listen/read while doing other things with my eyes like driving or dishes.

What did you like best about this story?

B for Burglar kept my interest throughout. It had just the right amount of twists and surprises. I enjoy the no nonsense delivery of Kinsey's activities, and the continuing sub-plots which connect each of Sue Grafton's stories.

What three words best describe Mary Peiffer’s voice?

Versatile, varied, neutral

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

no.
