A is for Alibi by Sue Grafton is the first book in the Kinsey Millhone mystery series. Private investigator, Kinsey Millhone is hired by a woman convicted of killing her husband on her release from prison after serving her sentence to find who actually committed the murder. A nice start to the series that I enjoyed very much. It is interesting to see how things have changed and would be different now. Methodical and interesting.

Normally when I'm reading a mystery, with every conversation, or character introduction, I am accusing people, formulating my own insane theories or whatever. This...I just didn't, I was like, huh...except Lyle, I definitely had some opinions there, but otherwise, I just didn't care really. Also, (view spoiler)

Love these alphabet books!

I was expecting a more dry mystery. I found this actually fast paced and enjoyable. Added the next book to my TBR.
