U is for Undertow by Sue Grafton

I’ve been reading Sue Grafton’s series since the beginning in 1982 with A is for Alibi and have never been disappointed. Kinsey Millhone is as enchanting today as she was more than twenty years ago.

This latest entry is filled with plots and subplots, keeping the reader on their toes and motivating the reader to read on. There is an object being buried on a hillside with a six year-old boy witnessing the event. There is contact from Kinsey’s long lost relatives and decisions regarding re-connecting. There is an old kidnapping case resurrected. All work together to form a satisfying mystery and conclusion.

I like to think of Kinsey Millhone as the precursor to Stephanie Plum. Plum having a bit more fun. Both writers have gone a long way to make this mystery reader a satisfied customer.

Ladybookbug!
