Kinsey Millhone #15
Through fourteen books, fans have been fed short rations when it comes to Kinsey Millhone’s past, a morsel here, a dollop there. We know of Aunt Gin who raised her, the second husband who left her, and the long-lost family up the California coast. But husband number one was only a blip on the screen until now.
Kinsey gets a call on a Monday morning from a guy who scavenges defaulted storage units at auction. Last week he bought a stack of boxes. They had stuff in them—Kinsey stuff. For thirty bucks, he’ll sell her the lot. She has never been one for personal possessions, but curiosity wins out and she hands over a twenty. Kinsey may be curious but she loves to bargain! What she finds amid childhood memorabilia is an old undelivered letter.
It will force her to reexamine her beliefs about the breakup of her first marriage, about the honor of Mickey, that first husband, and about an old unsolved murder. It will put her life in the gravest peril. “O Is for Outlaw” is Kinsey Millhone’s fifteenth adventure into the dark side of human nature.
Kinsey Millhone #15
It is now nine weeks since Dr. Dowan Purcell vanished without trace.
The 69-year-old doctor said goodnight to colleagues at the Pacific Meadows nursing home, climbed into his car and drove away – never to be seen again. His embittered first wife Fiona is convinced he is still alive. His second wife, Crystal, a former stripper forty years his junior, is just as sure he is dead.
Enter private investigator Kinsey Millhone, hired by Fiona to find out just what happened to the man the two women loved. And also enter Tommy Hevener, a flame-haired, twenty-something who has set his romantic sights on Kinsey. It doesn’t take long before we find out that Tommy is a man with a very interesting past. What about the word peril? It applies most of all to Kinsey herself!
Librarian’s note: the characters, settings, etc. have been done for all 25 novels in the Kinsey Millhone alphabet series, A to Y. Sue Grafton also wrote 9 Kinsey short stories which can be found in Kinsey and Me.
