Review Grafton once again proves herself a superb storyteller * Publishers Weekly *This will leave readers both relishing another masterful entry and ruing the near-end of this series. Prime Grafton * Booklist *Grafton constructs an intricate plot following two time lines with at least a dozen characters in play while rarely slowing the pace * Library Journal *Im going to miss Kinsey Millhone. Ever since the first of Sue Graftons 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 mans job . . . Its Kinsey herself who keeps this series so warm and welcoming. Shes smart, shes resourceful, and shes tough enough to be sensitive on the right occasions * New York Times *Y Is for Yesterday is one of the strongest novels in the series as the beloved lady sleuth Kinsey Millhone, the perennial main character, is hired to investigate the aftermath of a ten-year-old murder involving high-school students. The milieu — wealth and privilege in a beautiful California setting — is enticing, as are the cast of colourful regulars. This story of teenagers gone bad runs in parallel with a deadly threat to Kinseys life, and the ending is truly satisfying, in more ways than one. * The Times * Promotional The new Kinsey Millhone mystery from the New York Times bestselling author.
