P Is For Peril

De: Sue Grafton

Narrado por: Judy Kaye

Kinsey Millhone never sees it coming. She is mired in the case of a doctor who disappeared, his angry ex-wife, and beautiful current one–a case that is full of unfinished business, unfinished homes, and people drifting in and out of their own lives. Then Kinsey gets a shock. A man she finds attractive is hiding a fatal secret–and now a whole lot of beauty, money, and lies are proving to be a fatal distraction from what Kinsey should have seen all along: a killer standing right before her eyes. . . .©2001 by Sue Grafton; (P)2001 Random House, Inc.; Random House AudioBooks, a Division of Random House, Inc.

Have to love unabridged

Personally, I much prefer unabridged audio versions. While the previous reviewer felt there was 'too much dialogue', in my opinion, the dialogue or commentary is what provides a feel of or connection with Ms. Milhone. If you're just wanting an overview of the alphabet series, there are a number of abridged versions that might be better suited for you. But once you really get involved with the series, you're going to want the unabridged.

P is for Noir

Boy, am I glad I ignored all the bad reviews for "P", and followed through with the series. It was still perfectly Kinsey, but an intriguing ending that we must figure out for ourselves, even though it is obvious what happened. It is a nod to noir and even the initial audio tunes at the beginning let you know. Judy Kaye delivers in the perfect Kinsey tone and I laughed pretty hard at a particular scene Kinsey witnesses while hidden under an office desk.

My favorite of the series so far

What did you love best about P is for Peril?

It was three cases at once. Never a dull moment, and you couldn't tell

One of Sue Grafton's better stories

I'm a big fan of Sue Grafton's alphabet mysteries -- especially the later ones narrated by Judy Kaye. Sometimes they're just fun to listen to even if the story doesn't hang together in a credible way. This one works on all levels: a good suspenseful story, a nice assortment of red herrings, and a conclusion that makes the whole thing worth listening to.

Loved it.

Love Sue Grafton and Judy Kaye's reading style. Can't wait to for the next story, Q.
