I have read all of Sue Grafton's alphabet series and liked them all. Q was no exception. Kinsey's sense of humor and the interaction between her and the detectives makes the book that much better. Will definitely pick up R when it is available.

Sue Grafton takes quite a turn in her latest Kinsey Milhone, where two cops, nearing retirement, call on Kinsey for help in taking one, last shot at solving a “Jane Doe” homicide that has haunted them for eighteen years. What begins as a simple attempt to identify the victim turns into a high-stakes hunt for a killer. Remarkably, the book is based on an actual case and Grafton’s research led to exhumation of the body and a facial reconstruction which appears in the book in the hopes that the real...

Our favorite Santa Teresa P.I. helps two retiring cops solve their last case, an 18-year-old homicide. They just want to know who this young woman was. But Kinsey knows better than anyone the danger of revisiting the past, and the investigation becomes a high-risk hunt for her killer. Audie Award finalist.

Q is for Quarry is based on an unsolved homicide that occurred in 1969, and Grafton's interest in the case has generated renewed police efforts. During the past year, the body was exhumed and a nationally known forensic artist did the facial reconstruction that appears in the closing pages of Q is for Quarry. Both Grafton and the dedicated members of the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Department are hoping the photograph will trigger memories that may lead to a positive identification.
