“By 1982, Grafton was a twice-divorced mother of three children who conceived “A” is for Alibi in preference to murdering her ex-husband? Her award-winning ‘alphabet’ series? has helped transform the predominantly male preserve of American crime writing? Her tightly paced mysteries are shaped by Kinsey Millhone, a feisty, self-sufficient private investigator who is appealingly candid, with a wry wit” (Stringer, 259-60).  “In dealing with big themes on a small canvas, [Grafton’s] clever but unpretentious mysteries reassure us that no life is insignificant, no death inconsequential” (New York Times).
