K Is for Killer

A Kinsey Millhone Mystery

By: Sue Grafton

Narrated by: Mary Peiffer

Lorna Kepler was beautiful and willful, a loner who couldn't resist flirting with danger. Maybe that's what killed her.

Her death had raised a host of tough questions. The cops suspected homicide, but they could find neither motive nor suspect. Even the means were mysterious: Lorna's body was so badly decomposed when it was discovered that they couldn't be certain she hadn't died of natural causes. In the way of overworked cops everywhere, the case was gradually shifted to the back burner and became another unsolved file. Only Lorna's mother kept it alive, consumed by the certainty that somebody out there had gotten away with murder. So she hired Kinsey Millhone, P.I.

Critic reviews

"Grafton's latest is one of her best." ( Booklist)

The Usual

If you like Sue Grafton, then you will like this one. Nothing out of the ordinary, but that's what I like about the Grafton books is that you pretty much know you are going to have a decent detective story without wondering if you are going to hear something that you don't want to un-hear.

Read it Again, and Again.

Narrator has to be great, in order to enjoy the storytelling. mary is very good.

One of my Sue Grafton favorites

I've listened to this audiobook over a dozen times and I still love it. I will forever miss Sue and her Kinsey stories. I'm grateful for every piece of literature Sue gifted us with during her life.

Great Book

Loved the book, I really like Mary performance as Kinsey. I found that I had to back up the story a few times because I missed ques. Sue has you guessing who it is until the end.

need Judith Kay reading it for full effect. ending

was too brief would've liked a fuller ending along with a few loose ends tied up

So, So

Not a favorite storyline but the pace did pick up in the last half. Narrator just a little dry for me. Still got through it with some satisfaction.

Kinsey Millhone is a great character

Would you listen to K Is for Killer again? Why?

I repeatedly listen to all the 'alphabet' series I have and am in the process of getting the ones I have missed in the past. The stories are very engaging.

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

Yes, and wish I could.

Love audio books

I love the alphabet murder book series! Would recommend this book series to anyone who enjoys mysteries!

wonderful

Sue Grafton is always fun and exciting, leaves you wanting more wish that there were more letters in the alphabet.

Another "Hit" for Grafton

Grafton excelled on this one She has us chasing our tails front to back, back to front, questioning everything but finding nothing...spine tingling none the less.
