"F" is for Fugitive
"F" is for Fugitive | Sue Grafton
36 posts | 75 read | 10 to read
Floral Beach wasn't much of a town: six streets long and three deep, its only notable feature a strip of sand fronting the Pacific. It was on that sandy beach seventeen years ago that the strangled body of Jean Timberlake had been found. The people of floral Beach didn't pay a whole lot of mind to past history, especially when Bailey Fowler, the self-confessed killer, had been properly processed and convicted. They weren't even unduly concerned when, a year after the murder, Fowler walked away from the men's prison at San Luis Obispo, never to be seen again. After all, everyone knew Jean had been a wild kid. "Like mother, like daughter," some said--though never within hearing of Shana Timberlake, who, whatever her faults, still mourned her murdered child. And then, by sheer fluke, the cops stumbled on Bailey Fowler. And a case seventeen years dead came murderously to life again. For Royce Fowler, old and sick with not much time left, his son's reappearance was the chance to heal an old wound. For Kinsey Millhone, the case was a long shot, but she agreed to take it on. She couldn't know then it would lead her to probe the passions buried just below the surface of family relations, where old wounds fester and the most cherished emotions become warped until they fuse into deadly, soul-destroying time bombs.

I mean of course I loved this one! I love Kinsey Malone.. She is a rockstar! I was reading some reviews on this one and.. I agreed. the lacking of some of the other characters (like her landlord)

But I still love this series. I am excited to start “G“ soon. I have it somewhere (ugh moving is rough -- still)

The second book I‘ve read this month that checks off the prompt for “published the year you were born” which is 1990. Enjoyed it enough to read a few more in the series, although I assume they‘re all similar and will get a little boring like most light mystery series ( Stephanie Plum, Alex Cross etc) #ReadYourSign

Susanita She mixes it up with “field trips“ (like this one to Floral Beach) from time to time, which helps. 5y

Somewhat lackluster compared to previous Grafton mysteries. Perhaps because Kinsey spends most of the time in a small beach town doing an investigation, instead of her usual stomping grounds and supporting cast (Henry is barely in this one).

vivastory Need to read this series. Started A on my Kindle and was enjoying it but don't like to spend a lot of time on e-reader 5y
ValerieAndBooks @Jbakesmcgee3 I think G is when Grafton decided slow down her publishing output. This has been an enjoyable re-reading of the series project. When I last read this particular one, it was 30 years ago 😳! 5y
ValerieAndBooks @vivastory I get you on the e-reader! I don‘t like it much either, especially now that my only option is from a laptop (iPad broke 😰). 5y
Jbakesmcgee3 That‘s interesting! I‘m excited to keep reading the series they are new to me but my mom read them when I was growing up :) 5y

This had a slow start... it felt like it went about 20km/h and then all of a sudden went to up 100km/h in an instant and then it ended. And I found it hard to keep a lot of the characters straight.

First book finished in my #litsypartyofone and #24b4monday (2.5 hours under my belt!) to celebrate #mrbook1inamillion

Andrew65 Going well so far 👏👏👏 5y

Got my #stacksandsnacks ready for this weekend‘s #litsypartyofone and #24b4monday! I saved this month‘s Snack Crate for the occasion and both my library holds just came in. Woo hoo! 🎉🎉🎉

ChasingOm Whoa, that Snack Crate looks awesome! And you‘ve got some good books stacked too. 😄 5y
AlaMich Snack Crate? Why have I never heard of this before??? 5y
Hooked_on_books Initially I thought Stacks and Snacks was a subscription box and got very excited! Someone should get on that. 😏 5y

janeycanuck @ChasingOm yeah, I‘m looking forward to diving in! It‘s taken all my self-control to save it for the weekend. 5y
janeycanuck @AlaMich I hadn‘t heard of it until it started showing up at my door (birthday gift!) It‘s awesome - a different country each month and has a mix of sweet and salty snacks. 5y
janeycanuck @Hooked_on_books haha - that would be a very good subscription box! I‘ve definitely seen boxes with books and chocolate or tea or coffee but never a variety of snacks. 5y
Andrew65 That will certainly keep you going. 😋 5y
janeycanuck @Andrew65 is that a challenge? 🤪🤪🤪 5y
Lynnsoprano That snack crate looks fantastic! 5y
MrBook WOW 😳😋!!! You are definitely in the groove! 🤗🤗🤗 5y

Several days late with my #NovemberTBR - I did okay in October but still have lots of carry overs plus four more books added in my quest to #readmyowndamnbooks and both this month and last month‘s #agathachristiebcr2 books. Time to get reading!

I awake to see that no one is free
We're all fugitives
Look at the way we live
Down here, I cannot sleep from fear no
I said, which way do I turn
Oh I forget everything I learn🎶

In this installment of the alphabet series, Kinsey is hired to find out who really killed a woman 17 years prior. Her client is the convicted killer‘s father. The convicted killer is a fugitive, which makes Kinsey‘s job hard. A small beach town is the setting with lots of potential suspects. As usual, the ending surprised me.

Taking a break after this one because I feel like they're getting a little formulaic. I totally expected that but still... I really liked this story since Kinsey was hired to look back on a cold case that affected a small town and many of its residents! It had my head spinning as I tried to figure out who was the real culprit! Still a fun listen!

cathysaid I felt the exact same way after the first few... 6y
IamIamIam @cathysaid I totally expected it but I like Kinsey as a character so much that I'm willing to overlook the repetitiveness. Plus they're fun and fast audios so they're great space fillers! I'm not sure I can do too many more back to back, though. 6y

I am burning my way through this series and I am enjoying it so much. I need to go back and share my thoughts on more of them but this is great: a notorious crime returns to haunt a small community filled with horrible people. I‘m being strict and reading these in order for best effect.

This is the first story in the series to be set outside of Santa Teresa, and that made for an interesting read. This installment makes you think about the relationship between parent/child, and student/teacher. When do you keep trying to reach someone and when do you give up? Do you ever know if you‘ve done enough to prevent future failures?

Most thought-provoking book in the series so far.

#atoyreread

EllanaRose I enjoyed reading this series in my teens but rereading them last year I started to see all the flaws. That said, I agree with you about this one. At what point do you let go? When is enough too much? 7y

After a crazy January, it's a great feeling to read an entire book in one day. And, of course, this series never disappoints.

I wil finish this bloody book today. It's good but I keep getting distracted by literally everything. I've signed up for #LitsyAtoZ and I will complete it. Also signed up for #24in48 and I'll be joining the #LitsyPartyOfOne but for now I need to conquer this book.

Ended up not doing any #ItIsSoLateItIsEarlyReading yesterday so I'm doing it now instead. I'm really quite behind on my Goodreads goal already so I want to fix that. I'm glad I picked this series for #LitsyAtoZ though, I'm enjoying the nostalgia. I also painted my nails to match the book cover.

Having a book day to prepare for #24in48 next weekend. Is anyone else taking part? My aim is to keep going with this series but if I finish it I'm not sure what to read next.

LeahBergen I just signed up! I'm not sure how many hours I will be able to do but it should be fun. 8y
EllanaRose @LeahBergen I'm hoping I can do the full 24 but I have a D&D game on the Sunday so I'm not sure 8y
PurpleyPumpkin I'm doing the 24in48 readathon too! I'll have a hard time getting to 24 hours, but I'm aiming to get close. 👍🏽 8y

CocoReads I'm in. Also not sure how close to the 24 I can get but I think it'll be less pressure than Dewey's. I had fun with that one but couldn't even come close to 24 hours 8y
Cinfhen @LeahBergen I'm thinking any amount of time is better than none, but my personal goal is 12! Weekends are actually busier for me. We will see😐 8y
LeahBergen @Cinfhen I know! Weekends are busier for me, too. 😬 8y
