Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Being a twice-divorced, happily independent loner has worked like a charm for P.I. Kinsey Millhone—until holiday weekends like this one roll around. What she needs is a little diversion to ward off the blues. She gets her much-needed distraction with a case that places her career on the line. And if that isn’t enough to keep her busy, her ex-husband, who walked out on her eight years ago, pops back on the radar...
It all begins with a $5,000 deposit made into Kinsey’s bank account. Problem is she’s not the one who deposited the money. But when she’s accused of being on the take in an industrial arson case, Kinsey realizes someone is framing her…
Now Kinsey’s working for herself. But with new evidence—and corpses—surfacing around her, she’s going to have to act quickly to clear her name before she loses her career, her reputation—and quite possibly her life…

Usual expectations from Grafton. I like her style for a quick read to just pass some time. Nothing too heavy, but keeps you interested without feeling like you need to stay up all night to finish it.

Ah, but I can't help but love it when Sue Grafton takes on the deeper emotions of Miss Millhone. Here is the Christmas scene, tragically spent alone (you can't think Kinsey likes playing the loner all the time, can you?) and interrupted by the reappearance of her ex-husband.
The real and obligatory mystery comes in with good ol' fashioned arson--for which Kinsey is blamed. It opens up a rather dark past for our heroine that reveals much about her already fascinating character. We see her as less as the strong and sharp-tongued detective and more of a scared little girl--and that is not a bad thing at all. Rather it makes her character all the more complex.

Kinsey Millhone is an absolute delight in 'E is for Evidence'. This is the second-time around in rereading most of her mysteries in the alphabet series ... and she was great the first-time round & continued her fantastic story-telling with EVIDENCE. If there is any criticism, perhaps she is often too unnecessarily descriptive with her environs; nonetheless, I highly recommend most of her novels as totally fun, intriguing 'reads'.

There is evidence everywhere lost or planted, but no real evidence. Kinsey must find some evidence to solve this case or loose it all. This is another one of Grafton's fast moving detective stories. Her protagonist, Kinsey gets your attention and you cannot put this book down. Take a little time to read it. It is a good read.

I've been reading these in order, obviously beginning with "A". I especially like the main character, Kinsey. She is so down to earth and I love how she unravels mysteries and I admire how organized she is in her work. This series does not need to be read in order by any means. I just like to do it if I can. They always keep me guessing about what is going on as I try to unravel the clues along with Kinsey. I do not always like the way the books end. I would prefer a little more of a wrap-up, particularly in this one (I just didn't quite "get it" at the end). The books are short enough that I can read them very quickly and they always keep my attention (which isn't at all easy).
