N Is For Noose

By: Sue Grafton

Narrated by: Mary Peiffer

Private investigator Kinsey Millhone is back, sassy and self-reliant as ever. Visiting a small town in the Sierras, Kinsey aids a recent widow, Selma Newquist, who believes that her detective husband did not die of a heart attack, as reported, but from foul play. Kinsey sifts through the paper trail Tom Newquist left behind, trying to discover what he was investigating before he died. Kinsey is about to call it quits when she is severely beaten in her motel room. Spurred to probe further she soon unearths clues regarding a long-unsolved murder that may or may not implicate the colleagues of Tom Newquist. Wry and intelligent, Kinsey Millhone solves the case -- and Sue Grafton delivers the goods.

"Kinsey Millhone is the epitome of the tough, independent, smart, feisty PI .... entertaining and engaging." (Booklist)©1998 Sue Grafton; (P)1998 Random House, Inc.

Critic reviews

"UNLIKE MANY DETECTIVE SERIES, GRAFTON'S
SEEMS ONLY TO GET BETTER EVERY TIME."
--Entertainment Weekly

"The lady can write. . . . Any reader who needs a smart and sassy P. I. would do well to hire Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone."
--The New York Times

excellent narration

Mary Peiffer narrates these Grafton Novels and she is perfect for the role. The parts that are witty makes me laugh out loud, Mary is able to really make the thoughts come out.

Sue Grafton did it again!!!

Great story. Trying to solve the crime throughout the story. I highly recommend this book to everyone who loves a little mystery, drama, and surprise all mixed in one. Go get it and enjoy it now.

Remarkable writing, research, and complex plot

Sue Grafton somehow comes up with things that most people know nothing about, and then educates the reader in the midst of weaving a complex storyline and surprising conclusion. She is a master. I am listening to them straight through starting with “A”, and this one was perhaps the best yet. What a writer. And I continue to really like the personality of the main character as portrayed by the reader.

She Got The Job Done Again

Better storyline and alot more action. Couldn't put it down. Lay back and enjoy this one.

Good Writing But Not A Great Story

This is a well narrated audiobook. Additionally Sue Grafton is a good writer who writes in a very description manner and does a very nice job depicting scenery. However the story itself is not great. Honestly some of the story did not make sense to me. I have been and remain a big fan of Sue Grafton, I have read every story since "A" thru "N". The waiting is good, but this is probably my least favorite story thus far. Thank You...
