Sue Grafton makes me happy. J is for Judgment is every bit as engaging as her previous mysteries, and in true Grafton fashion (as I am beginning to discover) there are a couple new twists in this novel. The first is the emergence of Kinsey's relatives, and the second is in the epilogue. Without giving anything away, the way Grafton turned the entire mystery upside down in two short pages floored me.

One of the better installments in my opinion. For the first time in a while it left questions unanswered. I'm looking forward to reading the rest to find out about Kinsey and her background.

This one was particularly good, had surprising ending and was a bit longer (lasted through my work week when I returned -so nice on the commutes back and forth - I might start checking out books on CD for that unwind time!)

Another decent book in the alphabet series from Grafton. Not may favorite of hers, but the again, there are still plenty to read... Certainly worth reading.

Not bad. I wish she’d gone a little further into the family stuff, however. I was expecting a little more closure on that before the end of this book.

Really nice and original. Kinsey Millhones is as witty as ever. And the ending just leaves you wondering if things are really what they seem....

At first I thought Kinsey Milhone was a breath of fresh air, but as the alphabet went on, the air got more stale. A light mystery read.

The Kinsey Millhone mysteries are fun reads. Kinsey is a private investigator with a sense of humor.

So sad - I'd caught up to the rest of the public who has to wait 1-2 years between books!
