I've been wanting to read Sue Grafton's alphabet series, but the first book, A is for Alibi, has been checked out from the library for ages! I finally got my hands on it and it made for some very pleasant on-the-bus reading.The books in the series center around private investigator Kinsey Millhone - she's 32, she's divorced, now single and she lives her job. I liked the way the character was set up - you can tell that she has loads of personal issues that can be fleshed out and hopefully worked through as the series progresses. She's a likeable character and I enjoyed the way she went about solving her case. I'm one of those people who never tries to solve the mystery before I finish reading so the ending was a nice and neat conclusion for me.
I'll definitely continue with B is for Burglar . Any other mystery series like this one that I should consider?

My aunt loves this series but I have never read them. She used to lend me and my mom her books. I read the Patricia Cornwell books, she read the Sue Grafton books.
Mari - did you enjoy the Patricia Cornwell books?
I'm on C, so I'm not too far ahead of you. :)
Joy - ha ha. this is one of the series that's actually at my library so I'm sure I'll catch up with you! :-)
Hi Joanna,
