Product Description

Product Description

I feel compelled to report that at the moment of death, my entire life did not pass before my eyes in a flash . . . What I experienced was a little voice piping up in an outraged tone: “Oh come on. You’re not serious. This is really it?”

It was a Monday early in December when Kinsey Millhone first got involved in the Isabelle Barney murder case.

She was out of work. Attorney Lonnie Klingman’s usual private investigator had just dropped dead of a heart attack. Kinsey was more than happy to oblige.

The trouble started on the very first day of the investigation. Either Kinsey’s predecessor was incompetent – or someone had been getting away with murder. And next time it might turn out to be hers . . .

‘Terrific build-up to a satisfyingly shocking climax. This edges Kinsey to the top of my personal American private-eye hit parade’ The Times

‘It’s a joy to open I is for Innocent and know within a couple of pages that this is a book you’re going to enjoy to the end’ Sunday Telegraph



About the Author

Sue Grafton has become one of the most popular mystery writers, both here and in the US. Born in Kentucky in 1940, the daughter of the mystery writer C. W. Grafton, she began her career as a TV scriptwriter before Kinsey Millhone and the ‘alphabet’ series took off. She lives and writes in Montecito, California, and Louisville, Kentucky.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good read, 11 May 2009
By G. Davies "Gemsey" (london) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Its another installment of the alphabet series, and its one of my favourites. Its a good old fashioned mystery, where you aren't quite sure who you believe.

4.0 out of 5 stars I is for Impressive, 4 May 2009
I is for Innocent is the ninth in the Kinsey Millhone series and to be honest if you have read and enjoyed all the previous books up to now you probably don't need to read this review. This is another of Sue Grafton's fantastic crime novels.

I like these novels. Kinsey is a warm, fiesty and interesting protagonist. Unlike most crime novels I have read there is a real wit in the writing. I is for Innocent is pretty much in line with the previous novels in the series. There is a murder, Kinsey has to solve it using her intelligence and bravery. There are enough clues for the reader to keep up with Kinsey. Grafton's real talent, creating strong characters, is evident here - although in this novel I found a few of them to be very similar and so sometimes became a little mixed up as to who is who and who is married to whom.

I have given this book a 4/5 because I enjoyed it. It was engrossing, it kept me reading until the last page. It is as solid as Grafton's previous novels. However that is the book's main downfall. There is a danger that the series could become tedious and repetitive if there isn't a twist to the series or a novel that is vastly different - a little like when Kinsey went on the run!

Another solid effort. Well done, Sue.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Is for Innocent, 12 Feb 2006
By Rich Milligan (Thatcham, Berkshire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
“I is for Innocent” finds our beloved heroine Kinsey Millhone in something of a pickle. Recently fired from her steady job with California Fidelity so not only without work but without an office she’s back doing piece work for lawyer Lonnie Klingsman.

The current case Lonnie wants her to investigate is one concerning a murder that occurred over 6 years ago, that of Isabella Barney who was shot through the peephole in her front door. Rather unfortunately Lonnie regular private investigator, Morely Shine has just dropped dead from a heart attack which is why the work has landed on Kinsey’s desk.

This is a real traditional detective story with Kinsey having to trail back and forth across various locations in Santa Teresa, interviewing all manner of people and asking them for their recollections of what happens all those years ago. Only Kinsey could possibly piece together the various bits of the puzzle although as she delves deeper she finds that Morely was also on the same track and perhaps his death wasn’t the death by natural causes it at first appeared.

There’s a delightful start of a sub-plot concerning Kinsey’s landlord Henry Pitts’ brother William who has come to convalesce for a while. William who is well into his eighties strikes up a relationship with none other than Kinsey’s favourite restaurant owner, the indomitable Rosie. The book also sees a brief appearance of Kinsey’s one time lover, policeman Jonah Robb.

An excellent addition to the superb alphabet series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great air of suspense
In this book I always felt you were one or two steps ahead of Kinsey, yet it made the ending a nerve wracking experience to read. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Different from other dtective books.
I enjoyed it as it was different but the ending was very obvious and she wasted her time working it all out.
