Review Quotes
"Some of the scenes Ms. Grafton most enjoys writing are about the imperfections of her heroine. 'I work to keep her flawed and inconsistent, ' she says. The flaws are, for many readers, a major part of Kinsey's charm. After all, who can resist a character who sometimes lies 'just to keep up my skills'?" --Enid Nemy, The New York Times
"Unlike many detective series, Grafton's seems only to get better each time out." --Gene Lyons, Entertainment Weekly "Grafton exhibits a sharp ear for dialogue and a quarter-horse pace. Her characters are as real as any this side of Elmore Leonard. "K" Is for Killer offers further proof of Grafton's growth as a writer. This is one mystery series that gains strength with passing letter." --Lorenzo Carcaterra, People on "K" Is for KillerAbout the Author
