Y is for Yesterday

Tweet

Since the time Sue Grafton began writing her Kinsey Milhone mystery series, I have been reading them ... beginning with "A is for Alibi," followed by "B is for Burglar," etc. I have followed the fictional character, Kinsey, and her private investigative practice for most of my adult life. I have read about her love affairs, the bombing of her apartment, her charming "too good to be true" landlord, and her near-death experiences. Now, the latest book in the series is "Y is for Yesterday." In this book, she investigates the secrets of a group of private school graduates who were involved in the murder of one of their classmates 10 years before. Now, the two young men who went to jail for the crime have served their time. One of them is being blackmailed and fears returning to jail. But who is the blackmailer? The "mastermind" behind their crime is still on the run. Will Kinsey be able to uncover their secrets ... while trying to stay one step ahead of a man who tried to kill her a few months before? With only "Z" left in this mystery series, I am already beginning to wonder how Sue Grafton will end the series. It will be a sad day when I have read the last volume. Sue Grafton is getting on in years. This book is dedicated to her five grandchildren. I wish the series would last the rest of my life because I have enjoyed it so much, but that is not likely to happen. Since it will be a couple of years before the last book is released, I'm starting to wonder what mystery novel I should read next. I used to love the Nevada Barr books. That series is written by a retired U.S. Park Ranger and I learned a great deal from the novels about our National Parks. Perhaps I'll see what else she has written. Any other suggestions for good mystery books?
