P Is for Perilby Sue Grafton
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Kinsey Millhone never sees it coming. She is mired in the case of a doctor who disappeared, his angry ex-wife, and beautiful current one–a case that is full of unfinished business, unfinished homes, and people drifting in and out of their own lives. Then Kinsey gets a shock. A man she finds attractive is hiding a fatal secret–and now a whole lot of beauty, money, and lies are proving to be a fatal distraction from what Kinsey should have seen all along: a killer standing right before her eyes. . . . Review:"Grafton cooks up scenarios that get your wheels turning....She'll see to it that you're up half the night reading to the end." San Francisco Chronicle Review:"[P]art of the charm of Grafton's mysteries is...the novelty of watching classic noir tales unfold in a time [the Eighties] that's not quite antique but not entirely modern either. Grafton's other talent is spinning a well-crafted mystery....Although Grafton mistakenly meanders into a strained side-plot that involves a pair of patricidal brothers, the book's overarching story delivers exactly what it promises: a compelling mystery that manages to pull off a surprise at the end. And as a humanized female version of Dashiell Hammett's loner hard-boiled detective, Millhone is still an oddly compelling presence in the world of mystery novels....Grafton's novels are timeless reading for those moments when all you want is a good puzzle." Janelle Brown, Salon.com Review:"Unlike many detective series, Grafton's seem only to get better each time out." Entertainment Weekly Review:"As always, Grafton gives us a truly complex heroine, marvelous depictions of Southern California architecture and interiors, and a writing style that can make a weed path interesting..." Connie Fletcher, Booklist Review:"After twenty years updating the private-eye tradition, Grafton shows she can spin a classic yarn with all the breadth of her masters, and a sharper eye for detail than any of them." Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Review:"Grafton deserves an A for maintaining her series's high standard of excellence....As usual, Grafton mixes an intriguing plot, well-developed characters, and humor into an entertaining summer read." Library Journal Synopsis:While mired in the case of a missing doctor, his angry ex-wife, and his beautiful current wife, Kinsey Milhone gets a shock. A man she finds attractive is hiding a fatal secret--and now a whole lot of beauty, money, and lies prove to be a fatal distraction from what Kinsey should have seen all along: a killer standing right before her eyes.
