PW's first review Of Grafton's alphabet mystery series was for C Is for Corpse. Back in 1986, PW said: "Kinsey Millhone is nobody's fool; she's also sensitive, funny and very likable. Writing with a light, sure touch, Grafton has produced a fast-moving California story about quirky, believable people."
