I Is for Innocent

A Kinsey Millhone Mystery

De: Sue Grafton

Narrado por: Mary Peiffer

When David Barney was acquitted in the shooting death of his wife, Isabelle, a good many thought that justice had not been served, including Kenneth Voight, Isabelle's former husband. Now, five years later, Voight is the plaintiff in a civil suit in which Barney stands accused of Isabelle's wrongful death. The stakes are high (Isabelle's estate is worth millions), but time is running short: the statute of limitations will cut Voight off in only a matter of weeks.

Enter sexy, savvy ex-cop-turned-P.I. Kinsey Millhone, brought in by Voight to gather the necessary damning evidence. It doesn't take long, however, for Kinsey to find that while a lot of people hate David Barney, a lot more hated Isabelle. Suddenly, a simple civil case becomes a deadly hunt for someone who once got away with murder, and may again.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A sober, resolute Kinsey, romanceless at the moment, and a clever, meaty puzzle....Rack up another winner for Grafton." ( Kirkus Reviews)

I is for Innocent

Really loving this series. The descriptions of items and situations has made me laugh out loud several times

Always entertaining

Switch between similar authors and Sue is always entertaining. I will miss Kinsey when all the Patterson books that she wrote are finished.

Great book! Best of the series. Unexpected twists

This was the best book of the series ! Absolutely, great suspense with smoothly flowing twists and turns that never let you reach the "Oh, I know who did it." too soon. Don't trust anybody and most of all remember Kinsey's warning to herself....the true detective's creedo to, "Never assume."

A five star experience

The plot in this installment is amazing. Grafton kept me guessing and Kinsey remains perfectly composed to the bitter end. The characters are not just stock characters and for this genre they are well developed. Anyone who likes mysteries will be happy with this one.

One of the best of a great series

Love this book. It's one of my favourite Kinsey Milhone stories, with a real sense of mystery to it as well as some tense action.

Pretty good

It Didn't keep me on the edge of my seat but it was pretty good. The narrator did a good job.

Narrator spoiled the fun

Plot twists and Kinsey's sleuthing prowess made this a really good book. However, a lot of the fun of reading Sue Grafton's books is her pacing, her dialogue, and Kinsey's smart aleck asides. These were all lost in the narrator's plodding pace, her three voices (what I assume is her real voice for narration, deeper for almost all women, including Kinsey, and deeper still for all men). Other than for Rosie, there were no accents to help differentiate between characters in dialogue. Kinsey's asides are always amusing when I read them for myself, but not in the deadened voice of this narrator.

Love Kinsey Millhone... Mary Peiffer not so much.

What made the experience of listening to I Is for Innocent the most enjoyable?

I love the convenience of streaming straight to my iPhone - So easy to play at work, at home, or exercising!

What did you like best about this story?

This is my second time "reading" this book. I love the character Sue Grafton has created - Kinsey's quick, sarcastic quips are my favorite part of each book.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Personally, Mary Peiffer is not my favorite Kinsey narrator. I prefer Judy Kaye.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES! Once I start a Kinsey Millhone book, it is so hard to put down... or stop listening to, in this case. They are addicting!

Sue Grafton at her best!

It's tragic to lose such a treasure, like Sue Grafton. I cherish the mysteries she left to us!

Did not drag out. Kept moving along.

I have liked all the ones in order so far. Working my way through the rest.
