Such believable characters!

I have read a few of the alphabet series, in no particular order, and thought every one of them brilliant. I love Kinsey Millhone, she is flawed enough to be funny, believable and human. This outing had me hooked from the off, and when she found Guy Malek I felt like I knew the man. How I wished they would get together! I was so sad at the events that unfolded, and the cruel twist as the truth about Guy's honour among his dishonest brothers was revealed. When Kinsey found the note in her car, I nearly wept- but read the book to find out everything for yourself. You won't regret it- the characters are so real, if you will excuse the tired cliche, I feel as if I know them by now. Guy Malek is another one to add to the list of people I forget aren't real and never have been.

M for Mind numbingly boring

As a lover of crime and thriller books, I was recommended to read Sue Grafton. All I can say is I never finished the book! I was half way through before the 'murder' was even mentioned, and by that time was so despondent that I couldn't even bring myself to plough through the rest of the book. Too wordy. Too expletive.

First time reader of Sue Grafton bowled over

I had never read any of Sue Grafton's novels until a month ago when I picked up "M is for Malice". I thought it was a brilliant , suspenceful read and for a hardened reader of crime novels I actually shed a tear at the very end. The heroine Kinsey is thoroughly believable and a real flesh and blood character. I'm looking forward to reading more of Sue Grafton's works.

Quite Brilliant

This book is heart breakingly sad. From the moment Kinsey finds Guy Malek and brings him home to share his inheritance you know he is doomed and he is so lovely. Even the usually emotionally watchful Kinsey falls for him in a big way, which makes it a double loss. You will her on to avenge his murder and the ending has a neat twist which only makes the tragedy harder to bear. This is stupendous crime writing at its melancholy best.
