Title: O Is For Outlaw

Author: Sue Grafton

Read By: Judy Kaye

Publisher: Random House Audiobooks

Synopsis

Wise-cracking, staunchly independent, and chronically curious, Grafton's gritty gumshoe Kinsey Millhone is a pleasure to read about. She is twiced divorced, an ex-cop and in her 40's. This makes for some very interesting reading.

What I love about her books is that there are a few sentences in each book to tell you more about Kinsey. Even though you may have missed the other books, it doesn't take you long to get to know her. I like the idea that she has one black dress, a neat apartment, a nice landlord, etc.

Her awful junk food choices washed down by a glass of Chardonnay are wonderful! She's the perfect female private-eye with one dress and a VW. This is the 15th installment of Kinsey Millhone, and this is the most personal case of all.

REVIEW

Kinsey is contacted by Teddy Rich a storage locker scavenger who's come up with a box of old documents about herself that he is willing to sell her for $30.00, she talks him down to $20.00. In this book we find out all about Kinsey's first marriage to Mickey Magruder a vice cop who lost everything when he was accused of a murder 15 years ago. I had not had the pleasure of reading all 15 novels by Sue Grafton but if they are all like this one they are wonderful and I'll get the others to read, she has made a fan out of me. This book held me in suspense from the very beginning to the very end,with lots of left turns and plot twists to keep it fast paced and exciting. Kinsey discovers that she may of been wrong about her ex-husband, so she decides to look into the case herself even though it will put her in danger. The events flowed through in a timely manner and the ending tied up all the loose strings.
