Kinsey and Me
Kinsey and Me: Stories | Sue Grafton
13 posts | 12 read | 7 to read
In 1982, Sue Grafton introduced Kinsey Millhone. Today, Kinsey is an icon of detective fiction and her creator is at the top of her form. This collection is both a look at Sue Graftons own early life in the guise of the character Kit Blue, and a fascinating glimpse of Kinsey Millhone in nine tales featuring the spunkiest, funniest, and most engaging private investigator [in] the entire detective novel genre.Entertainment Weekly

1. Sue Grafton (26 including tagged book)
2. Two small bookcases plus many tote bags as well as the floor.
3. Ask me again when I have “real” bookcases! I‘m thinking of separating fiction from NF, but I‘ll have to play around a bit to see what works.

Eggs Tote bags and floors...and there are so many ways one could organize book collections that it‘s mind boggling 5y

Hooked_on_books @Soubhiville My Mom introduced me to her books when I was a teenager, so I‘ve read her my whole adult reading life. She was a solid mystery author. I‘m bummed. 7y

...a baptism by immersion in the dark poetry of murder.

I think every mystery reader has had this baptism!

Last book didn't cut the cheese so it's in to Ms. Grafton and Kinsey. BTW, I've had this checked out since MAY! #readathon
