July 2013 Guest Editor Cath Staincliffe on A is for Alibi...
Sue Grafton’s private eye, Kinsey Millhone, walking the mean streets of Santa Teresa was part of the inspiration for my own character Sal Kilkenny. Kinsey is an independent, single, fiercely moral heroine with an engaging, self-deprecating voice who brings tenacity and intelligence to solving the mysteries her clients present her with.

Maxim Jakubowski's view on KINSEY MILLHONE...
Sue Grafton’s feisty California investigator first appeared in 1982’s A IS FOR ALIBI and has rushed through the alphabet ever since, detecting evil and becoming everybody’s favourite, with a gallery of recurring minor characters that is a sheer delight. She is now sadly approaching the end of her run, with T IS FOR TRESPASS, her latest adventure. Nobody does it better. American crime at its classiest.
