This may prove to be one of the better entries in the Millhone series. Any self respecting, competent P.I. in real life will probably tell you that they probably won't always find all the answers in every case they take. Though they probably find out most of the answers most of the time. Millhone didn't find all the answers she needed on this case. And it isn't necessarily clear how she figured out who the killer was. It isn't even clear how she figured out who he was in cahots with. But she thought enough of herself to do something about it. Not everyone will like that but there it is. Enjoy the book, then go on to the next one.
Dark but good

This is one of the darkest in the series, although that is a relative term because Kinsey Milhone's sharp wit adds a spice of humor to almost anything. It begins with an unsparing description of a mother's grief over a murdered daughter and then Kinsey uncovers some apalling things about the dead girl's life and family. The clues to the killer's identity come abruptly at the end and the killer's motives are not completely convincing. The most compelling part of the book is the psychological study of Lorna's family. We learn a lot about water treatment plants. Those who want an intriguing traditional puzzle plot with "why-didn't-I-think-of-that" clues planted early on should try B is for Burglar.
Gee, I loved it...

... Personally, 'K' is right up there with my other favoriteKinsey novels like 'A', 'C', and 'G' (for example). Yes, maybe theending did come out of a hole in the wall (though I didn't consider it to have), but I nontheless found it enthralling. Kinsey's all-too-human reaction to a certain occurrence toward this end struck me as chilling and realistic. This one's a real page-turner, I found - I couldn't put it down.
k is for killer : opinion by Troy Marcial
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Sue Grafton is a great author that has an experienced career in writing best-selling novels. I enjoyed her book, K is for Killer, in many different ways. All of her books are about the same character and settings which makes he books enjoyable. The suspence in her books never lets me put the book down. I enjoyed her book so much, I did a book review of it in my Literature class at Coachman Middle School in Clearwater, Florida. I am currently attending 8th grade in which the class I did the report in, almost everone wanted to read it. I plan to read other books by Sue Grafton alot more.
