Overview
Janice Kepler asks Detective Kinsey Millhone to pick up where the local police left off and find out who murdered her daughter Lorna.
Publishers Description
Janice Kepler is on the way home from the support group she joined after the death of her beloved daughter, Lorna. When she sees a light on in the offices of Millhone Investigations, she believes it's a sign…and decides to knock on the door. Janice has waited long enough for Lorna's case to pick up steam, and she is relieved when Kinsey Millhone agrees to finish the work authorities left undone. Ten months before, local police had suspected homicide, but never could find a suspect—or a motive. The trail went cold. And Lorna's death remained a mystery… Now Kinsey is about to be pulled into a netherworld of unavenged murder and damaged survivors…where sometimes it takes a deal with the devil to survive. |

 | Lorna Keppler in 'K' IS FOR KILLER Jan 8, 2010 |
This was the very first of Sue Grafton's novels that I had listened to many years ago when I was on vacation in Maine. I had it on tape and thanks to this site, I now have it on CD. It is one of my favorites since I have now read ALL the Kinsey Millhone mysteries OR have listened to them, including the new one "U' IS FOR UNDERTOW. Thanks, this site, for making it possible for me to hear the story again, this time on CD. I am sure my old tape of the story is falling apart.

| I was very pleased with this book. As a follower of the Kinsey Milhone books I found this one just as good as the previous. The ending was fine and not at all unfinished...it does leave you wondering what happened to the killer but I think that was a great way to end it.....leave the reader thinking. Great job Sue! | | |  | Enjoyable Aug 8, 2009 |
The Margin
Another enjoyable Sue Grafton novel. Nothing earth shattering but nonetheless entertaining. I'd recommend it for something to do on a long flight or stormy night.
Lorna Kepler's death is still a mystery after ten months. Kepler's mother thinks shes been murdered, like most parents of children who die mysteriously. Finally Kinsey Millhone agrees to investigate further into Lorna Kepler's death. Soon afterward Kinsey finds herself being observed, maybe even followed. She meets a woman that may have information about Kepler and, consequently, the woman takes a beating to encourage her to be silent. Shortly characters begin to line up who have motive and Lorna's former boss seems to be making his way to the top of the list.

Rating: 3.5 Water Towers
It is always nice to get my latest "Kinsey Millhone" fix. Sue Grafton has become my oasis (now that my all-time favorite's Perri O'Shaughnessy have apparently completed the Nina Reilly series) in the book realm. A place where I can be with old friends, relax, and know that, eventually, Kinsey is going to figure out who dunnit and move on to the next letter in the alphabet.
In "K is for Killer", Lorna Kepler had been dead for two weeks when her badly decomposed body was found by Serena Bonney and her landlord, J.D. Burke. Although the body's decomposition obliterated any attempt to find out if or how Lorna was murdered, the police ultimately decide that no foul play was involved, and, even though the case remained open, it was put on the back burner and left to fade away into the cool Pacific Coast fog.
Lorna's mother, however, felt differently and six months after Lorna's death, she decided to do something about it. Finding Kinsey, she explained that she thinks Lorna was murdered, and asked if Kinsey would take the case. Kinsey, after making a few inquiries, decided there were enough unknowns to make it worthwhile to pursue. So with a small retainer from Lorna's mother, Kinsey went to work.
What follows is typical Sue Grafton. As Kinsey investigates we meet a host of characters and Kinsey uncovers a ton of clues. Many times the clues lead to nowhere, and many times the clues mount up to an overwhelming mountain that Kinsey must sift through, but in the end Kinsey always seems to find that one clue that is the beginning of the end for the killer or killers.
With the help of the police detective originally assigned to the case, and new character, Detective Cheney Phillips, Kinsey finds out that Lorna had more than a few skeletons in her closet.
The ending of "K is for Killer" comes suddenly with Kinsey, in dire danger, finally realizing who the killer is.
Sue Grafton is writing a marathon. As such, the books take a more leisurely approach and she is revealing Kinsey's life (and others like Harry, Rosie, and now Harry's brother, Detective Dolan, and others) one small step at a time...no rush.
Unlike other series, this one is very easy to know where to start. :-)
I'm looking forward to "L"...until then......happy reading. | | | | Yay Kinsey! Sep 27, 2008 |
Who can not resist the luscious appeal of the California city nightlife? In this novel Kinsey is hired to investigate the murder of a mild-mannered water treatment employee by day and prostitute by night.
Grafton paints a vivid and surprisingly exotic picture of the darker side of the night with plenty of sex scandals, drugs, and parties galore. It has an almost noir tone with all the classic baddies of a good old fashioned mystery. | | | Write your own review about "K" is for Killer (The Kinsey Millhone Alphabet Mysteries)
