"G" Is for Grafton

The World of Kinsey Millhone

About this book

Revised and updated through "O" Is for Outlaw , the Edgar Award–winning guide to the world of Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone.

With the cooperation of Sue Grafton, who provided unprecedented access to her working journals, authors Natalie Hevener Kaufman and Carol McGinnis Kay have created a fully dimensional biography of Kinsey Millhone that will answer every question readers have ever had. Here is a feast for Kinsey's fans, including such features as time lines, maps, floor plans, case logs, and photographs.

But this book is also a revealing journey into the mind and work habits of Kinsey's creator. You'll learn why Grafton chose to write detective fiction and how she responds to runaway plot lines and unruly characters. You will find out what titles she has discarded in the series, what she plans for Kinsey's future, and how she sees their evolving relationship. Ultimately, you'll understand why Grafton is so esteemed in the field of detective fiction and, from an analysis of her craft, why she has earned so prominent a place in American letters.

"Fans will devour it like Kinsey downs her Quarter Pounders." — Entertainment Weekly

Fans who can't get enough of the sassy, in-your-face private investigator heroine of Grafton's mystery series can rely on this breezy book to keep them going through those frustrating in-between-publication periods." — Kirkus Reviews

"The ultimate resource for Kinsey Millhone fans." — Publishers Weekly
