ReviewsPraise for Y is for Yesterday "I'm going to miss Kinsey Millhone. Ever since the first of Sue Grafton's Alphabet mysteries, A Is For Alibi , came out in 1982, Kinsey has been a good friend and the very model of an independent woman, a gutsy Californian P.I. rocking a traditional man's job...it's Kinsey herself who keeps this series so warm and welcoming. She's smart, she's resourceful, and she's tough enough to be sensitive on the right occasions." -- New York Times Book Review "This will leave readers both relishing another masterful entry and ruing the near-end of this series. Prime Grafton."-- Booklist , starred review "Grafton once again proves herself a superb storyteller." -- Publishers Weekly "The series may be coming to a close, but Grafton ( W Is for Wasted ) constructs an intricate plot following two time lines with at least a dozen characters in play while rarely slowing the pace." -- Library Journal "The lively, engrossing Y Is for Yesterday demonstrates that she hasn't lost her touch over the years ... Grafton is in sure command of Kinsey's wise-cracking but warm voice and of a many-layered plot that moves back and forth over events of a decade. Y Is For Yesterday might make you wish the alphabet had a few more letters." -- Tampa Bay Times- Review, Praise for Y is for Yesterday "I'm going to miss Kinsey Millhone.

SynopsisTHE FINAL INSTALLMENT IN SUE GRAFTON'S ALPHABET SERIES WINNER OF THE ANTHONY/BILL CRIDER AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL IN A SERIES Private investigator Kinsey Millhone confronts her darkest and most disturbing case in this #1 New York Times bestseller from Sue Grafton. In 1979, four teenage boys from an elite private school sexually assault a fourteen-year-old classmate--and film the attack. Not long after, the tape goes missing and the suspected thief, a fellow classmate, is murdered. In the investigation that follows, one boy turns state's evidence and two of his peers are convicted. But the ringleader escapes without a trace. Now, it's 1989 and one of the perpetrators, Fritz McCabe, has been released from prison. Moody, unrepentant, and angry, he is a virtual prisoner of his ever-watchful parents--until a copy of the missing tape arrives with a ransom demand. That's when the McCabes call Kinsey Millhone for help. As she is drawn into their family drama, she keeps a watchful eye on Fritz. But he's not the only one being haunted by the past. A vicious sociopath with a grudge against Millhone may be leaving traces of himself for her to find...

Y is for Yesterday
This is another wonderful book by an author whose gift of storytelling was legendary. Compelling characters, plot twists and believable scenes. I'm glad I picked up A is for Alibi years ago and read every one. Sadly, the alphabet does end with Y.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
