Mostly in one night.
Bottom Line
Light. Fun. Good for airplanes and waiting rooms.
Full Review
I started A is for Alibi intending to read through the series. I moved on to T is for Trespass (out of order, I know, but it was the next one I came across) and have now finished B is for Burglar. While I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to avoid Grafton's alphabet series, I don't think I'll be seeking them out, either.
She writes your basic mystery novel, a whodunnit filled with red herrings, plot twists and dead bodies. The book is narrated by Kinsey Millhone, a 30-something PI whose failures as a police officer and an insurance investigator have led her to open shop on her own. As far as fictional PIs go, she's amusing, narrating the story in a slightly sarcastic tone. It's good that these books are easy to read, because tone is pretty much all that keeps the novel going until the denouement in the final pages.
