Summary: Loved it up till the very end and then was disappointed
Review: I've looked over the reviews and for the most part they are either of the "loved it" or "hated it" type. I fall somewhere inbetween. I've read all the books in order. Some are certainly better than others but I have to say that once I got into this one I kept thinking "Wow! This is the best one yet!" There were a couple of scenes in which Kinsey might have been encountering a ghost that genuinely creeped me out. Another reviewer complained about Ms. Grafton's thorough descriptions of surroundings but that's one of the reasons why I love her series so much. I feel as though I'm there or I'm watching a movie but I also get the psychological aspect too. Also, I was at a total loss as to who might have done it and I hate it when I read a mystery and figure out who the bad guy is before the author reveals them. However, typical of the Grafton novels, you don't find out until the last few pages who committed the crime. When that revelation came my praise of the book went out the window. I won't give it away but I'll just say that it was a total soap opera twist and VERY UNBELIEVABLE and silly. If the ending had just been more convincing I'd laud this book to high heaven but the climax was just straight from a Day's Of Our Lives episode.

Summary: Ms. Grafton does it again!
Review: Some say that this particular series is declining in substance and style. True, "L" wasn't my favorite too, but this book as well as "N" reestablishes my faith in Grafton's talent in storytelling. This is a perfect example of greed and hatred, an unwillingness to forgive. Grafton makes the Malek brothers so real and lifelike, even I wanted to strangle them for being s.o.b's! You feel for the deceased and know why Kinsey is going to find the man/woman who did this. The ending was great in that it was left open. I love it when writers don't tell the reader everything and leave the ending up to interpretation or just guess work. All in all, a great novel. I read it in two days during my final exams. I just couldn't put it down. I can't wait for "O!"

Summary: In search of a long-lost brother
Review: The Malek family has two problems--a long-lost brother and a missing will. When the patriarch of the family dies, it becomes imperative for three brothers to find their brother Guy, who was banished from the family many years ago. PI Kinsey Millhone looks for Guy and finds a much different man from the one who left the family many years ago. The remaining brothers seem determined to get Guy's share of the father's estate and will stop at nothing to accomplish this. When a murder occurs, Kinsey sees the Malek brothers as chief suspects. In this edition of the series, Dietz returns for another fling at romance with Kinsey and the murderer finds an interesting sort of justice.

Summary: Not her best.
Review: M is for Malice was the first book that I read from the Sue Grafton alphabet series. The book was easy to follow and thoroughly understandable for those who have not yet read other books in the series. The plot was realistic, and I enjoyed the emotions brought about by the selfish Malek brothers and their disowned sibling who had long awaited reunion only to find nobody cares about him. This book was easy reading and suspenseful until the last page.
