"A" Is for Alibi by Sue Grafton, published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston in 1982, is the first mystery novel in the author's "Alphabet" series. Featuring sleuth Kinsey Millhone, it is set in the southern California city of Santa Teresa, the nom de plume for Santa Barbara. She wrote the book during a divorce and admits about her husband that she "would lie in bed at night thinking of ways to kill him". The New York Times gave the book a lukewarm review.

None

This book is quite unreadable. I did not care about any of the characters or the "Murder". The descriptions of places in the LA area did not have an LA feeling and in some cases verifiably wrong. If I had to describe the book in one word I would use 'juvenile'.
