O van onheil

In ''O van onheil'' komen we eindelijk iets te weten over Kinsey Millhone''s eerste huwelijk. In het moordalfabet kennen de lezers en luisteraars Kinsey als onbetwiste superspeurder en als eigenzinnige en onafhankelijke vrouw. Maar wanneer de privédetective via via op een doos vol oude papieren stuit, komen onaangename herinneringen terug. En lijkt de vork toch anders in de steel te zitten dan ze dacht... Twintig jaar geleden werd Kinsey''s eerste echtgenoot beschuldigd van moord. Uit een verloren gewaande brief blijkt dat hij onschuldig is en dat zij hem al die jaren verkeerd heeft ingeschat. Er staat haar een grote klus te wachten: de onschuld van haar ex-man rechtzetten én de echte dader opsporen. Wat voor onheil zal dit met zich meebrengen? ''O van onheil'' is het vijftiende boek in de populaire Alfabetreeks van New York Times-bestsellerauteur Sue Grafton, met de eigenwijze Kinsey Millhone in de hoofdrol."Sue Grafton hits the bull''s-eye with this 15th installment of her bestselling alphabet mysteries. Bottom Line: ''O'' is for On Her Game."—People"There are no awkward shifts of mood in Sue Grafton''s ''O'' is for Outlaw, the 15th book featuring Southern California private investigator Kinsey Millhone...Ms. Grafton remains one of the most adept, and perhaps even underrated, prose stylists in her field, one who can make you laugh out loud on a given page and then stop you short with a thoughtful passage."—The Wall Street Journal"For Kinsey''s 15th adventure, Grafton continues to create characters that seem to leap off the page and into real life. The dialogue is snappy, and the clues smartly planted. (You might think you know who the real villain is but trust me, Grafton surprises again.)"—The Cleveland Plain Dealer"This is my kind of escapist crime fiction: cuisine-free, feminist in feeling, and loaded with local color and ingenious detection. ''P'' is for please hurry, Ms. Grafton, with the next Millhone book for the millennium."—USA Today"''O'' is for Outlaw is extremely good—outstanding in fact."—The San Francisco Chronicle Book Review"Grafton''s fans will be thrilled with this knockout 15th Kinsey Millhone mystery, which deals with Kinsey''s first marriage."—Publishers Weekly"Lying, snooping, rifling drawers, following oblivious suspects, rarely taking time to sit and think, Kinsey keeps you blissfully in the dark about what''s happened and what''s coming up till the magician tips her hand at the denouement and shows you how simple it all was—in Grafton''s best since 1992, when ''I'' was for Innocent."—Kirkus Reviews"In Grafton''s latest of the series, Kinsey is sassier than ever, the supporting characters are amusingly eccentric, and the mysteries, both past and present, are intriguing. Grafton''s fans will love this one. Highly recommended."—Library Journal-
