A Is for Alibi

By: Sue Grafton

Narrated by: Judy Kaye

When Laurence Fife was murdered, few mourned his passing. Plenty of people had reason to want him dead. But the police thought his wife Nikki - with motive, access and opportunity - was the #1 suspect. The jury thought so too.

Eight years later and out on parole, Nikki hires Kinsey Millhone, a gutsy P.I., to find the real killer. The trail is cold but Kinsey finds a lead. It brings her face-to-face with the murderer!

This is the first in the popular series featuring California investigator Kinsey Millhone. She's 32, twice divorced, no kids, an ex-cop who likes her work... and who works strictly alone!©1982 Sue Grifton; (P)1997 Random House, Inc.

All the Kinsey Millhone books are a great read

Would you listen to A is for Alibi again? Why?

Yes, I have listened to all of the a second time because they are fun, predictable and relaxing.

What about Judy Kaye’s performance did you like?

Judy Kaye is Kinsey. She is believable and her tone conveys a lot of attitude.

Any additional comments?

I find all of the Kinsey Millhone great to listen to. They are a wonderful listen on sleepless night, or anytime.

Male voices were awful.

I’ve learned one thing listening to audible. That is that the best narrators do not try to fake the voice of the opposite sex. Instead they rely on subtle cues to get the point across. This narrator would be wise to that.

good story

there great. have some risque parts and some language for an adult only. but great

TOO SHORT

I really enjoyed the book, but should have gotten the unabridged version. I will definately continue on in the series, but with the longer versions.

entertaining, but voice of hotel clerk is wrong

the narrator used a over-the-top blaccent for the clerk. it was mildly offensive. otherwise, enjoyable
