Q Is For Quarry

By: Sue Grafton

Narrated by: Judy Kaye

A Kinsey Millhone mystery. . .

She was a "Jane Doe," an unidentified white female whose decomposed body was discovered near a quarry off California's Highway 1. The case fell to the Santa Teresa County Sheriff's Department, but the detectives had little to go on. The woman was young, her hands were bound with a length of wire, there were mulitple stab wounds, and her throat had been slashed. After months of investigation, the case remained unsolved.

That was eighteen years ago. Now, the two men who found the body, both nearing the end of long careers in law enforcement, want one last shot at the case. Old and ill, they need someone to do the legwork for them, and they turn to Kinsey Millhone. They will, they tell her, find closure if they can just identify the victim. Kinsey is intrigued by the challenge and agrees to work with them.

But revisiting the past can be a dangerous business, and what beings with the pursuit of Jane Doe's real identity ends in a high-risk hunt for her killer.©2002 Sue Grafton; (P)2002 Random House Inc., Random House Audio, a Division of Random House Inc.

A great friend

Kinsey has become an old friend and continues on her way with another submission that is better than the last. Sue Grafton continues to weave the history of Kinsey and friends which is getting pretty difficult while telling a different mystery in each book. Does anyone else catch the 1 to 3 unusual word choices that are in every book? She must do some real digging to come up with them.

My only regret is that we are getting close to "Z" and I don't think there will be an "AA". I have been re-reading her earlier works and they are just as much fun each time I read them. Sue Grafton is the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle of our times.

Quality as usual

I don't understand the complaints about "too much detail" being in this book. I enjoy all the little details as she manages to keep them both on target and interesting to some extent.

Great

As usual great Grafton book. I have downloaded and listened to all the others and am hooked on Grafton. Good listen!!

This was one of my favorites

I really enjoyed this book the fact that it was based on a real person I never realized it was such a good book and a great story

Sue Grafton does it again

Sue Grafton never fails to come through with a suspenseful novel full of twists and unexpected turns. Q is for Quarry falls right along the same lines as A-S as far as composition is concerned and I wouldn't have it any other way! Just a side note, please be sure to listen to the authors note at the end of the novel, possibly even before listening\reading.
