Summary: A solid member of this alphabetical family
Review: "O is for Outlaw" is not exceptional and it is not bad. I'd rate it a notch above average - not because of the quality of the mystery (it was average), but because of the quality of the characters. There were a number of interesting people, from the man who buys auctioned off storage garages to Dixie, the loose waitress turned loose rich hostess of parties to the elite to Mickey, Kinsey's mysterious ex-husband. More than enough suspects to keep the reader guessing!
I listened to "O is for Outlaw" as a book on tape and it was a great companion on my 45-minute drive to work. Judith Kaye reads all of them and she does a fabulous job!

Summary: Not My Favorite Book of Grafton's
Review: I found this book a little confusing.
Basically, it is about a long unsolved murder until Kinsey's ex-husband Mickey is shot and lands in the hospital critically ill.
Someone sells Kinsey some old info of Mickey's that he left behind, and it is from there that Kinsey tries to connect that facts of what really happened to Mickey and who attempted his murder. Was it Dixie, his old lover? Or Could it have been Mark, supposedly an old chum? Some other detectives think Kinsey entered into it somehow, and Kinsey puts them straight, but almost to the expense of her own life.

Summary: V is for Very Good!
Review: I really enjoyed this book. I've read other/most of the alphabet series by Sue Grafton and this is one of the best. Kinsey is such a realitic character and the humor wrapped in and around the mystery is a treat. One criticism I have is that many of the characters are so similar, plus we have a lot of fathers and sons with the same last name, so it can be confusing to keep it all straight.
