A is for Alibi from November 2010

  If you love fun and quick cozy reads, you'll enjoy this series. In Sue Grafton's A is for Alibi, the first installment of the Kinsey Millhone series, Kinsey Millhone was a PI, who was hired by Nikki Fife, after she'd been released from prison for doing time on killing her husband. To prove her innocence, she hired Kinsey to find out who did it. Every step she took, she had gotten closer to the truth from Fife's family and co-workers. One by one, new leads brought her closer to danger and to a new dead body or two. Even her potential love interest showed some doubts to Kinsey, while she ended up fighting for her life. A quick and fun read.

This was an enjoyable alphabetical cozy mystery to read from A to Z. I did care about Nikki Fife and about Kinsey Millhone. To clear her name and prove her innocence, that was a big and bold step from her to do. I didn't want to get Kinsey hurt, when I was getting to know her. I did like the location of St. Theresa California for the debut of this series, too. This would take you in for a quick read to read in one setting. Great read, quick action and plenty of dramatic action for a nice climaxing finish.
