Book Description

Release Date: July 5 2011
The perfect new package for Sue Grafton's #1 New York Times bestselling series.

Reba Lafferty was a daughter of privilege whose adoring father quietly handled her many scrapes with the law-but he wasn't there when she was convicted of embezzlement and sent to the California Institute for Women. Now she's about to be paroled, and her father wants to make sure she stays on the straight and narrow.

It seems like an easy assignment for Kinsey Millhone: babysit Reba while she readjusts to freedom. The young woman is willing to cooperate-and the money is good. But Reba is out of prison less than twenty-four hours when one of her old crowd comes circling around.

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Bestseller Grafton offers more of the same-old same-old in her less-than-inspired 18th Kinsey Millhone novel (after 2002's Q Is for Quarry). In this sexy adventure, the spunky hard-boiled detective has to escort the newly paroled Reba Lafferty, privileged ne'er-do-well, to her stately home, keeping her on the straight and narrow. Reba challenges the PI with her barely concealed hankerings for the now off-limits booze, gambling and charming Alan Beckwith, married real estate developer and former employer for whom Reba took a two-year barbwire vacation courtesy of the California Institution for Women. Lust is in the air as studly, stylish cop Cheney Phillips enters in his red Mercedes, fanning the flames with Kinsey, when Beckwith's activities catch the eye of the feds. Kinsey lends a supportive ear to her beloved 87-year-old landlord, smitten by a 70-year-old neighbor. Kinsey and Reba team up to get the goods on Beckwith, but reckless Reba has vengeful ideas of her own and more than once lands their collective fat in the fire. If the chemistry between Cheney and Kinsey seems forced at times, Grafton as usual creates believable and enduring characters and a strong sense of place in her town of Santa Teresa circa 1987. And that should be more than enough for most fans.

From School Library Journal

Adult/High School–Kinsey has been hired by a wealthy father to befriend his daughter upon her release from prison after serving a sentence for embezzling funds from her boyfriend/employer. It sounds easy, but the detective learns quickly that Reba's boss is still involved in a complex money-laundering scheme and is wanted by many federal law-enforcement agencies who want Reba to help them get evidence against him. Eventually she does, but there are problems leading to the exciting climax when the sleuth herself is kidnapped. Kinsey is young enough to appeal to teens; her lighthearted personality and witty asides amuse and entertain. Fans of this series will be pleased that she has a new boyfriend, but may be frustrated because her elderly landlord's family interferes.–Claudia Moore, W. T. Woodson High School, Fairfax, VA

4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction to a great series Jun 8 2006

Format:Mass Market Paperback
This long-running series is somewhat uneven at times. This one is a standout and you don't have to have read previous books to enjoy this one. A great read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stellar read July 27 2004
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
Three very entertaining books that I've read this summer were John Grisham's "Bleachers," Jackson McCrae's "The Bark of the Dogwood," and this book. All were great and while the Grafton is my favorite, I also would recommend the McCrae.

4.0 out of 5 stars Will she never run out of steam? July 22 2004
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
No, I haven't read all of Grafton's books in the alphabet series, though I do think it is an ingenious marketing idea and she carries it off with each new book she comes up with. I've enjoyed immensely "A" is for Alibi, "D" is for Deadbeat, "F" is for Fugitive, and "G" is for Gumshoe. So now I've read "R" is for Ricochet. The surprising thing to me is how well her style, sense of play, plot, and characters hold up (if this book is any indication) after so many. Granted, I've not read every single one, but from what I HAVE experienced, Grafton may not ever run out of steam. Also recommended: BARK OF THE DOGWOOD by McCrae

A is for Alibi ***
B is for Burglar
C is for Corpse
D is for Deadbeat ***
E is for Evidence
F is for Fugitive ***
G is for Gumshoe ***
H is for Homicide
I is for Innocent
J is for Judgment
K is for Killer
L is for Lawless
M is for Malice
N is for Noose
O is for Outlaw
P is for Peril
Q is for Quarry

*** = highly recommended.
