Kinsey and Me : Stories / Sue Grafton.
The nine stories that open the book are each gems of detection. So much has happened in the decades since Kinsey made her debut that it's easy to forget she was part of a seismic shift in the private-eye novel, as women ceased to be loyal sidekicks and came into their own, with strong voices and decidedly strong opinions. The same feisty voice, rapier wit, and irreverent observations readers fell in love with in "A is for Alibi" permeate these stories, proving just how fully formed Kinsey was from the beginning. The thirteen stories that form the second part of the book were written in the decade after Grafton's mother died. These feature Kit Blue, a younger version of Sue herself. they are dark with their undercurrent of sadness and muted pain. Grafton's family was troubled, as so many families are, but her wise and sensitive telling traces a remarkable voyage, from anger to understanding to forgiveness, and finally, to the realization of a profound love.
