Three Complete Novels: "G" Is for Gumshoe, "H" Is for Homicide, and "I" Is for Innocent ReviewI've been buying the Kinsey Milhone series as they have been published as 3-in-one hardbacks since last year when I finally discovered these fun little mystery books. I now wish I had discovered them years ago. These Kinsey Milhone mysteries,and Sue Graftons writing style have matured as the series progresses.
These books are easy reads - not terribly deep but they don't pretend to be anything but that either. I also recomend Janet Evonovich's Stephanie Plum series for readers who are fans of Grafton heroine Kinsey Milhone. Although Evanovich's heroine "Stephanie plum" is somewhat more of a "character" and the situations are far more unbelievable (intentionally so), the books are just as much fun.Three Complete Novels: "G" Is for Gumshoe, "H" Is for Homicide, and "I" Is for Innocent Overview

Vision Impossible (Psychic Eye Mysteries, No. 9) ReviewVision Impossible is a good action spy story. If that is what you are after, this book will probably be fine for you. For those of us who loved Abby and her dog and her friends and her ordinary life with the occasional extraordinary events, this book may prove disappointing. It is almost a new series. Milo's name is mentioned and, of course, Dutch is in it, but all the old favorites are gone. We are clearly being introduced to at least two new people who will be in her life who may turn out to be interesting but I am not sure I will bother to read any more of the books. There are tons of mysteries out there. It was the characters and their relationships that drew me to the Psychic Eye Mysteries. Without them, there is not much of interest here. It's just another spy story.Vision Impossible (Psychic Eye Mysteries, No. 9) Overview

V is for Vengeance (Kinsey Millhone Mystery) ReviewFollowing U IS FOR UNDERTOW, Kinsey Millhone is back with a vengeance! She gets a 38th birthday "punch in the face and busted nose," in May 1988. A cake would have been nice. Kinsey is a pragmatist, "a big fan of forgiveness as long as I'm given the opportunity to get even first."
Reluctantly shopping at an upscale retailer, Kinsey spies Audrey Vance stealing expensive silk PJs. The civic-minded P.I. discovers that the woman is in cahoots with another and reports them both. Vance is arrested, while the other scofflaw nearly runs Kinsey down in the parking garage with a Mercedes. Vance is later found dead, an apparent suicide, but homicide is soon suspected.
In a parallel plot, Lorenzo Dante, Jr., known simply as Dante, is a loan shark with alleged Mafia ties. Dante has quite an inferno of illicit businesses burning --- and a red-hot romance with a powerful attorney's wife. One of those enterprises is a highly organized ring of shoplifters, whose kingpin was Audrey Vance. Vance's unsuspecting fiancé hires Kinsey to investigate what he thinks are bogus shoplifting charges, and the improbable suicide. Thrown into the mix are a corrupt cop, and a gambling addict who sells his soul to Dante.
Predictably, characters face death during the investigation, and Kinsey is pulled into the vortex. Ghosts from novels past haunt Kinsey, even likeable petty criminal Pinky Ford is instrumental in the dénouement. Vixen reporter Diana Alvarez from "Undertow" is a thorn in Kinsey's side but eventually proves beneficial. Heartthrob and former flame Cheney Phillips keeps readers guessing if the fire will rekindle. Unfortunately, friend and landlord Henry is away, visiting one of his ancient siblings with a broken hip.
The structurally complex plot is simplified with the help of Kinsey's index cards that are "like the pieces of a puzzle that would fall into place once I understood what I was looking at." That, and her intuition. "The purpose of intuition is to warn us when the wolf arrives at the door dressed as Little Red Riding Hood."
Any Sue Grafton novel reads like a welcomed but long-overdue letter from the iconic private eye, bringing readers up to speed with her latest escapade. The queen of Alphabet Soup-titled mysteries (who earned the title of Grand Master by Mystery Writers of America) has made a quantum leap by taking on social issues in the last few of her 22 too-realistic-to-be-fiction works.
With perpetrators identified early on, this is more of a whydunit than a whodunit, validating Grafton's title of Grand Master bestowed by her peers. While Kinsey--an average Jo--has learned to leap hurdles in her career, Sue Grafton has become an Olympic-class pole vaulter in hers. Impeccable plot, prose as rich as Wall Street, and everyone's favorite investigator make this a sure-fire bestseller.
