M Is for Malice

by Sue Grafton

M Is for Malice Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"M" is for money. Lots of it. "M" is for Malek Construction, the $40 million company that grew out of modest soil to become one of the big three in California and, uniquely, remains in family hands. Eighteen years ago, one of the sons of the family went missing. Now "M" is for Millhone, hired to trace that missing black sheep. Though Kinsey Millhone succeeds in her search, this prodical son will find no welcome at his family's table. And, in the all-too-common outcome of familial hate "M" winds up standing for murder.

Review:

"Kinsey's own hang-ups...give her insight into the emotional war games families play." The New York Times Book Review, Marilyn Stasio

Review:

"Sue Grafton's alphabetical titles tempt the reviewer to make assessments like 'C is for competent' or 'M is for more of the same'. She writes cleanly — if not excitingly — and offers undemanding entertainment and an attractive central character....Both the terror and the affection are well described and are more convincing than the emotions aroused in her by the murder that is at the core of the novel....{This} is a professional piece of work, but it offers few surprises and makes no attempt to shock, enlighten or extend the boundaries of the genre." Natasha Cooper, The Times Literary Supplement

Synopsis:

"M" is for a missing heir, millions of dollars at stake...and murder in the thirteenth entry in the bestselling series starring marvelous P.I. Kinsey Millhone!
