Product Description

2 cassettes / 3 hours
Read by Judy Kaye

"One can only marvel at Grafton's seemingly endless stock of adventurous and inventive plots and hope that a finite alphabet won't limit her to just 26 mysteries."
-Booklist


How do you prove the innocence of a man already found guilty of murder?

That's the task Kinsey Millhone is faced with when she takes on the case of Bailey Fowler.  These are the facts: Jean Timberlake, Bailey's girlfriend, was found dead on the sands of Floral Beach, California, seventeen years ago.  Bailey, drug addict and convicted felon, with no good alibi, was sent to the slammer - even though he swore he didn't do it.  After escaping less than a year before, he successfully disappeared until he was picked up on a fluke of mistaken identify.  Can Kinsey prevent him from being sent back to prison by finding the real killer?  And what kinds of deadly passions and murderous intentions will she stir up as she searches for the truth?


"Sue Grafton has created perhaps the most likable female private eye in the business."

5.0 out of 5 stars an unusual and excellent mystery, Dec 7 2003
By erica "ejs192" (Amherst, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: F Is for Fugitive (Mass Market Paperback)
"F is for Fugitive" is one of the better Kinsey mysteries: engrossing from the first chapter, it reads quickly and consistently. Although the book is 300 pages long - longer than most of Grafton's novels - there is no mid-story lull. It bypasses much of Kinsey's usual backdrop: the action takes place in a small town ninety miles away from Santa Teresa, so Henry Pitts, Rosie, the California Fidelity crew, and Kinsey's bachelorette life in her small apartment are peripheral or entirely absent from the story. The book focuses entirely on the mystery of an twenty-year-old murder in a small town and a cast of characters who all seem to have something to hide. It's quintessential Sue Grafton: suspenseful and well-written, a pleasure to read from beginning to end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sixth Kinsey Millhone Mystery, Nov 11 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: F Is for Fugitive (Mass Market Paperback)
Seventeen years ago, Jean Timberlake (a promiscuous, six-weeks-pregnant high schooler) was murdered on the shore of Floral Beach, California, apparently by her ex-boyfriend, Bailey Fowler, who was consequently sent to prison. However, after repeated escapes--and spending much of his time out of the picture in this book--Kinsey Millhone, the 32-year-old no-nonsense private investigator, is hired by his father to investigate Jean's death and hopefully prove Bailey's innocence.

"'F' is for Fugitive" is yet another enjoyable Kinsey Millhone mystery with lots of quirky characters, particularly Bailey Fowler's family, who own the motel near where Jean was killed. It's also Kinsey's temporary residence while her apartment is being rebuilt after the happenings in the previous book ("'E' is for Evidence"). "'F' is for Fugitive" is relatively fast paced and has a more rounded ending than in some of Grafton's other books. And, as usual, I enjoyed Kinsey's sarcastic humor and refreshing first person narrative. Worth reading if you're into this alphabet mystery series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kinsey Unravels Another Puzzle!, Aug 19 2003
By J. Kirkman "book jen" (St. Petersburg, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: F Is for Fugitive (Mass Market Paperback)
Everyone knew the kind of girl Jean Timberlake was-ask anybosy in the sleepy surf town of Floral Beach and they'd say Jean was wild, looking for trouble. But she certainly wasn't looking for murder. She was found dead on the beach seventeen years ago, and a rowdy ex-boyfriend name Bailey Fowler was to blame. He was imprisoned, but then escaped. Now private eye Kinsey steps into a case that should never have closed. Kinsey creates new evidence that says Baily did not kill Jean, but someone else did. In fact, they are right there under Kinsey's nose.

A great read, and as usual, you wondered what would happen next.
