"A" is for Alibi -- a gangbusters start!
Qute a few reviewers rated this starter of the alphabet series with 3 or less stars! Well, I think it was a fantastic beginning to her amazing series. The ONLY offerings in the series which are 'average'
(3 Stars) are "H" is for Homicide and "M" is for Malice, ...

Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex
Mary Roach
W. W. Norton, 2008
Thoroughly entertaining and educational
Hands down this is one of the best books I have read in some time. I found myself laughing out loud with almost every page while staying riveted to the fascinating account of the study of sex throughout the last few hundred years.

The Last Command (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Vol. 3)
Timothy Zahn
Spectra, 1994
Thrawn Meets his End
In many cases, a reader or viewer of Star Wars can anticipate what will happen in a story before it even starts. One expects the Rebellion/New Republic to be victorious in the end. This does not make the plot any less interesting. One has a vague idea of how the ...

Heir to the Empire (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Vol. 1)
Timothy Zahn
Spectra, 1992
Superb kickoff to a great trilogy set five years after Return of the Jedi
The cornerstone of the modern Star Wars Expanded Universe, Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire was published in 1991 in an environment where Star Wars was considered a dusty relic of the 70s and 80s, except to some die-hard enthusiasts. At least, that was the perception ...

"C" is for Corpse (The Kinsey Millhone Alphabet Mysteries)
Sue Grafton
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2005
Loved It!
I recently started reading the Kinsey Milhone series and this one so far is the best. On the first page, we learn that her client, Bobby, is dead and that she's never worked for a dead man before. The story moves quickly, and it was hard to put down.

Sue Grafton
Wings, 2008
Malice, Noose, and Outlaw; Grafton gets better all the time.
Not only are these three good mysteries, but having them in one printed volume makes it easier to go from one to the next.

Sue Grafton
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2005
Grafton is the best!
When a friend was recently going through a rough time, I loaned her the whole series of Grafton's Kinsey Millhone books. My friend told me they allowed her to escape from the stress until she could handle it better. Unfortunately, she also told me that Kinsey has ...

"O" Is for Outlaw
Sue Grafton
Ballantine Books, 2001
A fascinating plot and fun new characters for Kinsey
While each Sue Grafton book is pretty wonderful, this one is among my favorites thus far. As many other reviewers mentioned, this Kinsey book delves into her past as she attempts to figure out who shot her ex-husband. Two detectives, Claas and Aldo, seem to think ...
