Now Kinsey is an established international icon and Sue, a number-one bestselling author. To mark this achievement, Sue has written short stories that reveal Kinsey’s origins and Sue’s past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMy name is Kinsey Millhone. I’m a private investigator, licensed, bonded, insured; white, female, age thirty-two, unmarried, and physically fit. That Monday morning, I was sitting in my office with my feet up, wondering what life would bring, when a woman walked in and tossed a photograph on my desk. 'Somebody killed my husband.' \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Published thirty one years after \u003ci\u003eA is for Alibi\u003c\/i\u003e, Sue Grafton's \u003ci\u003eKinsey and Me\u003c\/i\u003e, is her first compendium of short stories. It features nine Kinsey Millhone short stories, each a gem of detection, as well as autobiographical pieces written in the decade after Grafton's mother died. Together, they show just how much Kinsey Millhone is a distillation of her creator’s past, even as they reveal a child who, free of parental discipline, read everything and roamed everywhere. But the dark side of such freedom was that very parental distance .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis dazzling and often moving collection displays the depth and range of Grafton’s writing and reminds us of her unique talent as a storyteller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40944098574433,"sku":"9781447237655","price":12.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_31899418.jpg?v=1734982087","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781447237655-kinsey-and-me","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
