From Amazon.com

Both new readers and old fans will welcome this 12th Kinsey Milhone adventure in the "A" is for Alibi series by Sue Grafton. In this case, Kinsey agrees to do a favor for a friend of a friend and gets herself into so much trouble that she promises at the outset never to do such a thing again without careful consideration.

Henry Pitt, her longtime landlord asks her to help a fellow neighbor find evidence that his grandfather served in the military during the Second World War. With such proof, the man can be decently buried, courtesy of the U.S. government. It seems such a simple thing, but with Kinsey, it rarely is. Before long she finds herself entangled with an eccentric and quarrelsome family as well as a long lost buddy who has turned up just in time to get himself beaten up in a robbery attempt of the alleged veteran's apartment. It seems there is a reason the Armed Services have no record of the dead man's service. Kinsey sets out to determine what he might have been doing instead of fighting against the Japanese and why someone might think his shabby apartment worth a burgle.

Typical of the series, the mystery is not the central point of the story, but rather a starting point for Kinsey to become embroiled in a suspenseful (and delightful) search-and-rescue operation, usually against her better judgement. In this case, a gun-toting, arthritic octogenarian and revelations of the inner workings of bargain-rate motels are all part of the adventure. This is an easy and enjoyable read, and a solid addition to Grafton's string of alphabetical hits. --K.A. Crouch --Ce texte provient de la Hardcover édition.



From Publishers Weekly

Bemused, beleaguered and begrimed, Southern California's premier PI, Kinsey Millhone leaves her hometown of Santa Teresa in an adventure (her 12th in the alphabet series) that begins straightforwardly enough but quickly twists into a knotted string of untruths. While getting ready for the Thanksgiving Day wedding between a local tavern keeper and the elder brother of her landlord, Kinsey agrees to help the family of recently deceased neighborhood WWII vet, Johnnie Lee, find out why the military has no record of his service. Soon after Kinsey has finished looking (fruitlessly) through his papers, Lee's rooms are burgled, and Ray Rawson, who claims he is an old friend recently arrived in Santa Teresa unaware of Lee's death, is beaten up. Kinsey soon finds herself on a plane bound for Florida, in possession of only the clothes she's wearing and her purse( with an extra toothbrush), trailing a young pregnant woman in possession of a duffel bag spirited from Lee's home. On a stopover in Dallas/Fort Worth, Kinsey sleuths disguised as a hotel maid dusting baseboards ("tough to picture the boy detectives doing this," she reflects), meets the increasingly unreliable Rawson again and encounters yet another figure from Lee's past, a violent, vengeful psychopath. While gradually sorting out the connections among this cast, Kinsey travels to Louisville, where Rawson's 80-something mother proves her mettle and Kinsey, determining that lawless, in this case, is neither adjective nor collective noun, unravels a decades-old mystery. 750,000 first printing; Literary Guild, Mystery Guild and Doubleday Book Club selections; author tour.

5.0étoiles sur 5 One of Grafton's Best! Kinsey Solves Another Puzzle Yet, Avril 16 2004
Par J. Kirkman "book jen" (St. Petersburg, FL United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I enjoyed this book very much and thought that it was one of Grafton's best.

As a favor to her friend and landlord Henry, Kinsey agrees to solve a case involving Henry's buddy Johnny Lee who was deceased.
The agreement was that Kinsey would solve it pro bono, being that it would be the most simple case to solve. Wrong! Instead, the case is much deeper than Kinsey ever thought possible, and curiosity getting the better of her, Kinsey goes all the way with it. Especially when she sees the house getting broken into, and two people escaping with a duffle bag, headed for the airport. Was it a duffle bag of stolen money? It had to be. Kinsey follows the crazy couple to the airport, and flys with them way across the US to see what they're up to.

In the process, Kinsey gets herself into trouble and danger is ahead all the way. If she gets out of this one alive, it'll be a miracle!

2.0étoiles sur 5 Maybe a 2.5, Fév 7 2004
This review is from: "L" is for Lawless (Hardcover)
This is my first Sue Grafton book. She is a good writer, very detailed-oriented. On the one hand, i found the minutia a bit tedious. On the other hand, i liked having everything spelled out. Mysteries are sometimes so convoluted i get lost after a couple of turns.
That said, the book was alright, perfect light reading. I do have some problems as to the resolution of the whole story: why Kinsey held on to the end, why Gilbert came back unarmed, and so forth. Still, an OK read.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Working vacation, Avril 9 2003
Par Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Kinsey is going to be in the wedding of her elderly landlord, Henry Pitts, so she decides to take a few days off from her job as a private investigator to help with wedding plans. Instead, Henry asks her to look into the case of one of his old friends, recently deceased, whose son tries to get help from the military to bury him. The family is told that there is no record of the man serving in the military, so they want Kinsey to find out the truth. She figures that this will be a simple matter, but of course, it's not. Her investigation leads her across the country following a woman with a mysterious duffle bag, which she feels may contain important evidence. Nothing is as it seems and Kinsey is soon embroiled with a couple of ex-cons, a young girl, and an eighty-five-year-old woman who is studying self-defense. This is a wild Kinsey Milhonne escapade with the usual interesting cast of characters.
