V is for Vengeance by Sue Grafton
Goodreads.com Synopsis:
A spiderweb of dangerous relationships lies at the heart of V is for Vengeance, Sue Grafton’s daring new Kinsey Millhone novel. A woman with a murky past who kills herself-or was it murder? A spoiled kid awash in gambling debt who thinks he can beat the system. A lovely woman whose life is about to splinter into a thousand fragments. A professional shoplifting ring working for the Mob, racking up millions from stolen goods. A wandering husband, rich and ruthless. A dirty cop so entrenched on the force he is immune to exposure. A sinister gangster, conscienceless and brutal. A lonely widower mourning the death of his lover, desperate for answers, which may be worse than the pain of his loss. A private detective, Kinsey Millhone, whose thirty-eighth-birthday gift is a punch in the face that leaves her with two black eyes and a busted nose.
And an elegant and powerful businessman whose dealings are definitely outside the law: the magus at the center of the web.
V: Victim. Violence. Vengeance.
My Review: 5 out of 5 stars. I am a huge Sue Grafton fan. And V is for Vengeance is up there with the others. If you haven’t read anything by her, you need to start with A is for Alibi. And then you’ll get sucked in. If you like Janet Evanovich, you will for sure love Sue Grafton!

(Where I Party)
I’ve read up through I of the alphabet series. They’re fun, quick reads! Right now I’m working on Gone Girl.
While I wouldn’t compare Janet Evanovich and Sue Grafton I do enjoy both their books. Stephanie Plum though seems stagnant with very little variation in her books. Sue Grafton though keeps changing things up so her books have grown through time. What will we do when Z is published? She better find a new heroine for us or continue with her series in another way.
