Description
Private detective Kinsey Millhone feels a bit out of place in Nordstrom’s lingerie department, but she’s entirely in her element when she puts a stop to a brazen shoplifting spree. For her trouble she nearly gets run over in the parking lot by one of the fleeing thieves—and later learns that the one who didn’t get away has been found dead in an apparent suicide. But Audrey Vance’s grieving fiancé suspects murder and hires Kinsey to investigate—in a case that will reveal a big story behind a small crime, and lead her into a web that connects a shadowy “private banker,” an angry trophy wife, a spoiled kid with a spiraling addiction, and a brutal killer without a conscience…

5By zuujyrEverything restored and trIt's really very good
5By BoopanyI was hesitant to read after reading reviews about her lengthy exposition but I have to disagree; although the back story is very long it's also very interesting and the characters are complex without being too contrived. No crime happens though to anyone for a while while she builds the characters. And Kinsey is Kinsey with the exception of one event imo, her actions are not out of character. This one was well tied up. Maybe a little too tidy but great.V is for Vengeance
2By Patd1016Not one of the author's best. There's a whole plot line about a couple of troubled marriages that have nothing to do with the main plot line, and that story never even finishes up. That thread sort got left hanging. I'm really surprised so much got u the editors. I'm a Sue Grafton fan so I was really disappointed with this one.V is for Va-Va-Voom
4By rtaylor.physicsHaving followed the entire alphabet thru V since 1987, I am thrilled that Kinsey is back in super style, sleuthing a risky business with interesting, complexly-motivated and thinking characters (except for a couple of really thuggish bad guys). At nearly 38 years old now, the younger clever "A thru G" Kinsey who enchanted and intrigued us in those early books is back! She is on a ride with more twists and seriously threatening turns which she masters deftly in her uniquely 'charmed' fashion! Having settled the mystery of her family and currently with no love-life to distract her, Kinsey--index cards always at hand--jogs readers through a late-1980's memorabilia minus cell phones, laptops, et.al. in lovely Santa (B-oops-) Teresa, a wonderful jewel of a city's! Sue Grafton's given us another clue-puzzler from her talented writing and wonderful imagination! Thanks again, Ms. G. and family who support her! Great fun book to relax with and enjoy!!V is for vengeance
5By Vt1llm@nI've read all the previous and I must admit I had mu doubts at first. This one was different than the others but I was VERY pleasantly surprised and caught up in the story that unfolded. Cheers, to Sue Grafton on a great book!V Is For Vengence
5By MjarensYet another captivating tale with the not so perfect PI Kinsey Millhone. Nicely woven characters, living lives with problems that just keep compounding, including for our favorite investigator. Loved the wrap up on the last page!V is for Vengeance
