A grieving mother asks Kinsey to try to find out the truth, and possibly the suspect of her daughter's murder. Her eye for detail and her tart descriptions keep me reading well beyond my bedtime. Many characters are in the book, but they are written about so well that it is easy to follow them throughout the book. As usual, the ending is not what is expected.  bakersfieldbarbara | Jul 27, 2009 |  Kinsey Millhone, PI investigates the 9 month old death of a daughter whose mother needs closure. (  ) FMRox | Apr 17, 2009 | Only the second in the series I've read; surprisingly good for what appears to be a formulaic series of books with no particular story arc. You would think if you knew exactly how many books you were going to put in a series, you could at least make an effort at some sort of overall character development and story, but I didn't see much difference between the "A" book and the "K" book. The resolution doesn't quite hang together, to my mind; the final fate of the criminal seems unlikely and the thriller-style ending is forced, although some effort is made to set it up earlier in the book. Still, a good read with some exciting moments and an interesting if somewhat ambiguous puzzle. ( ) benfulton | Jan 21, 2009 | I still think she spends too much time describing settings. (  ) miyurose | Dec 13, 2008 | All of the "Alphabet" Sue Crafton books are pleasurable reading. Time fillers that you can put down and pick back up without having to remember a convoluted plot or time warps of character studies. ( ) gtaymon | Sep 20, 2008 | 
 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 each passing letter.
