Nice, Four Star, Writing Style, Very Good Narration, But an Average, Unlikely, Three Star Story
"H" is for Homicide is a typical fun reading experience authored by Sue Grafton. This is the eighth novel of a series. The novel is of medium length and is highly readable. I like the writing style of Sue Grafton in general more than I like this particular story. I particularly enjoy Sue Grafton's way of describing scenes and scenery. She also has a peculiar sense of humor that I enjoy. I also purchased the accompanying audiobook narrated by Mary Peiffer. Again, I really enjoy Mary Peoffer's narration more than the actual story. I feel that Mary Peiffer really has a sense of the tone the author wishes to convey. The protagonist in this series is Kinsey Millhone, a thirty something year old female private detective. She is a very interesting combination of femininity and toughness. She puts me in mind of a modern female version of a "Noir" private detective from the past. I enjoy the stories on the whole, but it is difficult to keep coming up with realistic stories. This is a good but not great story. As a retired police officer I find a lot of this story to be completely foreign to my professional life. However I continue to be a big fan of Sue Grafton and Kinsey Millhone. In summary I am glad to have read this story. I am reading all of Sue Grafton's novels in order. I find Mary Peiffer to be an excellent narrator for this series. However, standing on its own, this is just an average story. Thank You... Read moreVer másVer menos

Good Story, Brutal Pace
I think it’s a great idea but crammed into the author’s very tight time frame. She wants to complete it all within her hard time constraints and it shows. Characters are developed by showing how terrible and violent they act and their criminality, not by any careful, well-paced evolution in the story. I’m finding, after having read 5 stories, how bleak the world Kinsey inhabits is. I guess because she pursues bad people that’s what everything looks like through her eyes. It would have made her more attractive if she had bothered to learn some Spanish while growing up in Southern California. Read moreVer másVer menos

Not the best, don't judge the series by this book.
I haven't finished this one yet, which is very unusual. I have had it on my Kindle about a week now. Usually I finish these books in 2 settings which is usually a day or two days. While I am just as engrossed in Sue Grafton's character development, I'm not feeling the story line. It is a departure from Kinsey's normal antics and adventures. It has the expected snappy dialog but it just doesn't have the warmth and whimsy I have come to expect. If this happened to be the first alphabet book I picked up I would have be turned off of the series completely. So if this is the first one you read.... Please go back and start from the beginning before you judge it as to whether it's worth getting to know Kinsey. Read moreVer másVer menos

A peek into the seedier side of life
Another five-star review from me! I’m reading the Kinsey Millhone novels in order and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed them all. Her writing brings me back to another time in history, and another way of life - no cell phones, no internet, and 80’s fashion to name a few. I love Grafton’s descriptive style of writing. I can get a perfect vision in my mind’s eye of where they are, what they’re wearing, what they’re feeling, even what is being eaten! This story is very different from the previous books in that most of it takes place from the viewpoint of those who are living a life of crime - insurance fraud to be exact. There’s always a point in Grafton’s novels when the mystery is solved. In this book she keeps you hanging until the bitter end - and then, bam! Highly recommend this and her other novels, A through G. On to I for me! Read moreVer másVer menos

H for Homicide
H for Homicide has a very 90s nostalgia to it. I enjoyed this relaxing easy read. Kinsey has more lives than a cat. Read more
