Publisher Synopsis
Praise for W is for Wasted "Grafton is a writer of many strengths-crisp characterizations, deft plotting, and eloquent dialogue among them-and she has kept her long-running alphabet mystery series fresh and each new release more welcome than the last."-Louisville Courier-Journal "Further proof-as if it were needed-of Grafton's immense talent. And her ability to give equal weight to the story of the detective and the detective story sets her apart in the world of crime fiction."-Richmond Times-Dispatch "Involving, amusing and fast-paced."-The Wall Street Journal "Nearing the conclusion of this celebrated series, Grafton continues to shape Millhone's character, toughened by circumstance but still both understanding and forgiving."-Booklist "Grafton has lost none of her ability to bring her character vividly to life: Kinsey is as witty and engaging as ever."-Library Journal (starred review)More Praise for Sue Grafton and the Alphabet Series"I'm going to miss Kinsey Millhone. Ever since the first of Sue Grafton's Alphabet mysteries, A Is For Alibi, came out in 1982, Kinsey has been a good friend and the very model of an independent woman, a gutsy Californian P.I. rocking a traditional man's job...it's Kinsey herself who keeps this series so warm and welcoming. She's smart, she's resourceful, and she's tough enough to be sensitive on the right occasions."-New York Times Book Review"The consistent quality and skillful innovations in this alphabet series justify all the praise these books have received over the past 35 years."-Wall Street Journal"A superb storyteller."-Publishers Weekly"Grafton's endless resourcefulness in varying her pitches in this landmark series, graced by her trademark self-deprecating humor, is one of the seven wonders of the genre."-Kirkus Reviews Read more...
