"D" Is for Deadbeat: Alvin Limardo hires Kinsey Millhone to deliver $25,000 to a 15-year-old kid. Seems pretty straightforward; or it would have been if Limardo wasn't a phony. "E" Is for Evidence: When Kinsey is framed for insurance fraud, she is expecting a complicated, tiring investigation. But she's not counting on the involvement of her long-departed ex-husband. "F" Is for Fugitive: Kinsey must prove the innocence of a man already found guilty of murder.

Story
In 1982, Sue Grafton introduced us to Kinsey Millhone. Thirty years later, Kinsey is an established international icon and Sue, a number-one best-selling author. To mark this anniversary year, Sue has given us stories that reveal Kinsey’s origins and Sue’s past. Kinsey and Me has two parts: The nine Kinsey stories (1986-93), each a gem of detection; and the And Me stories, written in the decade after Grafton's mother died. Together, they show just how much of Kinsey is a distillation of her creator’s past.

John Grisham is the acknowledged master of the legal thriller. In his first collection of novellas, law is a common thread, but America’s favorite storyteller has several surprises in store. “Homecoming” takes us back to Ford County. Jake Brigance is back, but he’s not in the courtroom. In “Strawberry Moon,” we meet Cody Wallace, a young death row inmate only three hours away from execution. The “Sparring Partners” are the Malloy brothers, Kirk and Rusty, two young lawyers who inherited a once prosperous firm when its founder, their father, was sent to prison.

The woman’s body was found in the early morning, on a bench in a New York City playground. She was clean, her hair neatly arranged, her makeup carefully applied. But other things were very wrong—like the tattoo and piercings, clearly new. The clothes, decades out of date. The fatal wound hidden beneath a ribbon around her neck. And the note: Bad Mommy, written in crayon as if by a child.

There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name.

Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....

Hire Simon Vance to (flawlessly) interpret the loves, lives, and murders of Sweden’s cold and secret-filled world. A spellbinding amalgam of murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial intrigue. It's about the disappearance 40 years ago of Harriet Vanger, a young scion of one of the wealthiest families in Sweden.

Publisher's Summary
Huge chunks of his memory were lost but he knew someone had tried to kill him and that the "accident" was deliberate. He knew he had the key to something that made him dangerous to the murderer but he didn't know what. No one believed him...so he hired Kinsey Millhone.
Three days later Bobby was dead. But Kinsey never welched on a deal. She'd been hired to stop a killing, now she'd find the killer instead.
Critic Reviews
"Millhone's feisty, stubborn, resourceful, guardedly romantic, and willfully practical...our kind of loner." (Detroit News)

Perfect escapist listening
I like Sue Grafton because her books are interesting but you don't have to think too hard to follow the story. Each book stands alone, but they're better in alphabet order because the main character, Kinsey Milhone, develops over time.

R is for Robotic...
I've listened to the first three books now and Mary Peiffer's narration is the one down side of the book. There are pauses in the narration for no reason and at times she sounds like the robot voice on answering machines or voice prompts when you call a company. Emotionless and precise is the best way to describe it. Luckily, the story is engaging enough to get past the narration.

Very Good Read and Reader!
What did you love best about C is for Corpse?
I really enjoyed the plot of this one. It was somewhat predictable, but still very griping I very much want to listen to the other books in this series.
What did you like best about this story?
I thought that the story was very fluid and believable which I find refreshing. Many of the books I listen to are not this easy to get involved in. I really wanted to know what was going to happen next.
Which character – as performed by Mary Peiffer – was your favorite?
Kinsey is hands down my favorite. She has the perfect voice to go with the character. I can't imagine a better reader for this book.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
If I had the time I would have listened to it from start to finish.

It's Sue Grafton after all!
When all is said and done(or narrated as the case may be) it's Sue Grafton, and Kinsey that keep me moving through Sue's narrated alphabet books. Certainly not the narrator. She's not terrible, but she's not that good either. Luckily I've read all the books and in my mind I already have Kinsey's voice and inflections firmly set. I feel for the listener who hasn't had the luxury and has to muddle through Mary Peiffer's flat performance and style. It makes me grit my teeth to hear her mispronounce words like bougainvillea and Camarillo - if you're from Southern California you will know what I mean. I love Kinsey and I love Sue (God rest her soul) so I'll continue to push on and tolerate Mary Pfeiffer. I know there's another narrator out there but I don't want to listen to the abridged versions. Who knows, maybe she'll improve by the time I get to L is for Liar.
