You Could Lose Your Head Over This One!

"O" Is for Outlaw was my introduction to Sue Grafton and the Kinsey Millhone series. The PBS interview with Grafton made me curious; and the dollar deal at the garage sale was an offer I couldn't refuse. I enjoyed the detective who is very well drawn, not a perfect person, but one who tries. The supporting characters including Cordia, the ex-husband's eccentric landlady, and Dorothy, the reincarnated cat, add spice to the events. Each chapter lets us in on a little more of the unfolding mystery and made me want to read 3 chapters at a time when I should have turned out the light and gone to sleep after 1. Even Mickey who we never meet comes through as a clearly-experienced personality from the description. The ending was startling. I wasn't expecting quite the level of violence. It was thrilling. It was certainly something one could could lose their head over! This was a fast, fun read. I think you'll enjoy it!

Best in a long while

I was captivated when I "discovered" Kinsey Milhone at the beginning of the alphabet, but by the time "H" rolled around, somehow the zing of the first seven novels was gone. " "O" is for Outlaw" recaptures the spirit that has been missing for much too long.

"O" is great!!!!!

If you like the Sue Grafton books you will like this one. I have read them all and each time I think the one I have just read is the best one. "O" is great. It lets you see a closer insight into Kinsey's earlier life. He ex-husband has been shot and she sets out to find out why and who. It is a great read. As usual the ending is very good. Kinsey gets into trouble with the police afer entering her ex's apartment. She nearly gets killed but comes through again. Please read them in order, they will mean more if you do. This book will hold your attention better than some of the others, you won't want to put it down.

Look into the past adds some fun to the Alphabet series.

Its hard to keep things fresh after 15 Alphabet mysteries, but this book does have a lot to offer fans of the series. We get a look into Kinsey's past as she gets a chance to make up for a past mistake. We learn more of the background and situations that made her the private detective she is. The alphabet mysteries are kind of a fun read and though Grafton doesn't have the depth of other writers the stories are usually interesting.

Ms. Grafton should take a bow

In "O is for Outlaw," Ms. Grafton once again demonstrates her unique talents for keeping an on-going series fresh and immensely readable. In this chapter of the Kinsey Milhone: Alphabet series, the author gives us fans a little more insight into Kinsey's very personal and mysterious past life, while at the same time offering us yet another intriguing and very satisfying mystery/thriller. There is so much to admire about the author's wonderful prose, and her ability to tell a flat-out great story with each novel, but, I must pin-point her most valuable gift to her fans....and that would be her absolutely unbeatable sense of humor, which she so wonderfully injects in the entire series. When writing Kinsey's views and thoughts of the world and it's inhabitants, this author will have you rolling on the floor.....as her perceptions are so dead-on and down to earth, surely, everyone should and could relate. Applying this level of humor into very serious and dangerous cases can not be an easy task, but Ms. Grafton does it brilliantly. These books are so well written, one has to constantly remind themselves that Kinsey (and all her escapades) are a work of fiction. I look forward to each new novel, and all past 15 are highly recommended. A truly great author that should appeal to any avid reader.
