For those who love murder mysteries, we have three of the Alphabet Murder books by Sue Grafton, "D" Is For Deadbeat, "L" Is For Lawless and, oddly, "M" Is For Malice. Why would an author commit to writing 26 books about murder? It's an interesting story. After a rather acrimonious divorce, Sue found herself daydreaming about different ways to murder her ex-husband. She realized that rather than wasting her time stewing in anger, she could make money and be productive putting her ideas down in novel form. All of Sue's books in this series follow the exploits of Kinsey Millhone, an orphan who was raised by her aunt Gin and who now makes her living as a private investigator in the small town of Santa Teresa California investigating all kinds of foul crimes. After a few volumes you will find Kinsey a very likable person who is very good at her job, sometimes too good! Interestingly the audiobook versions of this series are all narrated by one person, Judy Kaye who does a fantastic job, she is Kinsey Millhone. Currently the total audio book time is 222 hours in the series.
