'A' Is For Alibi by Sue Grafton

OK, so I'm a little late getting started reading Sue. Pat told me I would like her, but I get kind of stubborn. Kinsey Millhone is a female private investigator, hired by Nikki Fife to investigate her husband's murder. Nikki has just been released from prison having served time for that offense, but claims innocence. Kinsey feels she is telling the truth so she takes on the job. First published in 1982, Grafton is a great story-teller. I really liked it and am looking forward to reading "B" Is For Burglar.
