4.0 out of 5 stars B is for Brilliant, 5 April 2006
This review is from: B Is For Burglar: A Kinsey Millhone Mystery (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries) (Paperback)
This is, quite obviously, the second in the alphabet series staring Private Detective Kinsey Millhone, one of the most convincing and likeable female private detectives in recent fiction.

First off, only read this book after reading the first novel - series books are always best read in the right order. If you have read the first one in the series, 'A is for Alibi', you will know what to expect. This is more of the same, witty one liners from Kinsey, a well plotted mystery, a full set of convincing characters and plenty of twists and turns. There's nothing that pulls this novel out of the water, making it so amazing and outshining 'A is for Alibi' but it is a solid follow-up. Grafton is still writing superbly well, creating strong descriptions of both characters and settings - which I feel is her strongest attribute as a writer. The ending was a little drawn out but that was a minor fault.

This book has to be read by crime fiction fans, for a well rounded, enjoyable mystery which has a grounded, realistic tone with none of that silly blockbuster nonsense!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't expect anything different, 24 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: B Is For Burglar: A Kinsey Millhone Mystery (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries) (Paperback)
B is for Burglar is pretty similar to A is for Alibi. I'm starting C is for Corpse today, and I'm sure it'll be pretty similar to the other two. But that doesn't matter, because they're all good.

Everything you need is there. There's enough clues so that you can work out 'who done it', but not so many that you spend the whole book yelling 'it was him/her'. There are enough twists and turns in the plot so that when you think you've got it worked out, something will make you doubt yourself. But in the end you'll be able to say 'oh, I knew that ages ago'. It's great, for what it is, I can't fault it at all.

What I particularly like is that although this book can stand alone - you don't have to have read the previous book to know what's going on - it acknowledges the existance of the previous book, and develops the main character just a little bit more.

And it is just a bit, we have after all got another 24 books to go. We can't find out everything about Kinsey Millhone in one go, or there'd be nothing left to tell us later in the series. She is a fairly complex character - she's nice to old ladies, she fancies old men, she'll kill you if she has too, she wants to know how dinosaurs had sex, and she live in a garage - so there's enormous possibility for what could make up both her past and her future. She is possibly one of the fullest, most well rounded characters I've ever met.

I think the A is for... idea is great, but it does create questions. What will X be for? X-ray? Xylophone? What happens when we finish the alphabet? Will it start again? Or will it be Aa is for...? (Aardvark?)

Keep reading, it's the only way to find out.

3.0 out of 5 stars Kinsey is great - Story is not so hot, 16 Nov 2000
By Mrs. K. A. Wheatley "katywheatley" (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: B Is For Burglar: A Kinsey Millhone Mystery (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries) (Paperback)
This is worth reading for the fact that as you keep reading the series more and more of Kinsey's character is unfolded. Grafton never recycles her plots so each one is very different, but this one just didn't appeal to me.
