W is for Wasted Zusammenfassung

W is for Wasted Sue Grafton

Private investigator Kinsey Millhone finds shocking connections between two seemingly unrelated deaths in this #1 New York Times bestselling mystery in the Alphabet series.

The first victim is a local PI of suspect reputation, gunned down near the beach at Santa Teresa. The second is a John Doe found on the beach six weeks later with a slip of paper with private detective Kinsey Millhone's name and number in his pocket.

Two seemingly unrelated deaths: one man murdered, the other apparently dead of natural causes.

But as Kinsey digs deeper into the mystery of the John Doe, some very strange links begin to emerge. Not just between the two victims, but also to Kinsey's past. And before long Kinsey, through no fault of her own, is thoroughly compromised...

W is for Wasted Bewertungen

Praise for W is for Wasted

Grafton is a writer of many strengths-crisp characterizations, deft plotting, and eloquent dialogue among them-and she has kept her long-running alphabet mystery series fresh and each new release more welcome than the last.-Louisville Courier-Journal

Further proof-as if it were needed-of Grafton's immense talent. And her ability to give equal weight to the story of the detective and the detective story sets her apart in the world of crime fiction.-Richmond Times-Dispatch

Involving, amusing and fast-paced.-The Wall Street Journal

Nearing the conclusion of this celebrated series, Grafton continues to shape Millhone's character, toughened by circumstance but still both understanding and forgiving.-Booklist

Grafton has lost none of her ability to bring her character vividly to life: Kinsey is as witty and engaging as ever.-Library Journal (starred review)

More Praise for Sue Grafton and the Alphabet Series

I'm going to miss Kinsey Millhone. Ever since the first of Sue Grafton's Alphabet mysteries, A Is For Alibi, came out in 1982, Kinsey has been a good friend and the very model of an independent woman, a gutsy Californian P.I. rocking a traditional man's job...it's Kinsey herself who keeps this series so warm and welcoming. She's smart, she's resourceful, and she's tough enough to be sensitive on the right occasions.-New York Times Book Review

The consistent quality and skillful innovations in this alphabet series justify all the praise these books have received over the past 35 years.-Wall Street Journal

A superb storyteller.-Publishers Weekly

Grafton's endless resourcefulness in varying her pitches in this landmark series, graced by her trademark self-deprecating humor, is one of the seven wonders of the genre.-Kirkus Reviews
