5.0 out of 5 stars An Authentic Period Piece from the 60s and 80s, 29 May 2004
By Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: O is for Outlaw (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries) (Hardcover)
Much of the charm of many detective series relates to the refreshing references to times past. Walter Moseley's work is a good example. Dashiell Hammett is another example. In these cases, the most successful books also teach you something about the people and the time that you did not know before.

Sue Grafton has reached into this genre by letting Kinsey's time pass more slowly than ours. As a result, the patina of a prior age is becoming more significant and charming . . . especially in this book. Perhaps the high point here is in expressing sexual and personal mores of earlier times, in ways that resonated for me.

I also found that Sue Grafton has gotten better at adding sub-plots, many of which served as good red herrings for what was going on. My biggest disappointment was that it was very easy to figure out who the murderer was, because the plot design meant that few would have the motive and access to execute this exact murder. In fact, I think this book was the easiest one to figure out in the series. My suggestion is that she go back and change the murder to make it much more cloudy who the murderer is.

I, too, was charmed by some of the new characters and hope that she will write more about her best designed characters in the future whoever they turn out to be in each book. In future books, I hope she writes a book that will have a totally different plot structure. I think that will be fun for Sue Grafton and for us.

If Sue Grafton was less talented, I would not bother to make these suggestions, but she is capable of lifting us to sublime new heights of ecstasy in future books. We should all encourage and applaud her when she moves in that direction. I also hope that the future books will continue to add that beautiful patina of the periods she illuminates.
