Summary
1979: four teenage boys from an elite private school sexually assault a classmate - and film the attack. Not long after, the tape goes missing, and the suspected thief, a fellow classmate, is murdered. In the investigation that follows, one boy turns in evidence for the state, and two of his peers are convicted.
1989: one of the perpetrators, Fritz McCabe, has been released from prison. Unrepentant and angry, he is a virtual prisoner of his parents - until a copy of the missing tape arrives with a ransom demand. That's when the McCabes call Kinsey Millhone for help.

Alphabet murders
A difficult subject worked with Sue Grafton's usual mastery. I will miss Kinsey Millhone and her erratic sex life and her hodge podge of friends, all of which have never failed to amuse and entertain me.

Narrator far too old
Narrator sounds 50 or even sixty something - far, far too old! Kinsey is only 39!

Who picked this narrator!?
Ok, who's brilliant idea was it to hire a 75 year old woman (she was born in 1941) with a poor fitting upper denture (hissing S's) to portray a 39 year...?? I had a hard time believing this septuagenarian was anything but her age. It was a major distraction from the story line. Poor choice, Audible.

Different from previous books from this series
The format of this story is different from the previous books in Sue Grafton's alphabet series and not sure that it was an improvement. The story is told in 2 time spaces and we get the perspective from various characters. Both of these are a departure from the other books which mainly stick to the story from Kinsey's point of view. Still, it moved along and it was intriguing to peel away the different layers. I had read some reviews of people who complained about the narrator. I couldn't find fault with her. Strangely, about halfway though the book, I realised that I had read it before. Probably a hard copy. Not sure whether that says something about the story or my memory...

Sue Grafton will be missed
Not one of her very best, a little repetitive in places but still head and shoulders above the rest. The imaginary Santa Barbara now seems as real to me as places I've actually been to, and her detective, Kinsey Milhone is still a fresh, likeable character. Setting her books in the 1980s is genius. Plenty of dry wit in the mix too.
One negative, the reader was good but sounded way older than Kinsey and I found that a bit distracting

Y is for Yummy!
All round excellence. Loved it so much. I could hardly put my phone down. I am rooting for Kinsey all the way.

Very entertaining detective
I like Sue Grafton. This is not her best but still enjoyable. Characters are well described and plausible.
My only negative point is that the narrator sounds too old. The detective is younger and described more energetic

Hope to get a new narrator
A wonderfully written gem from Sue Grafton. A good continuation of the Ned Lowe story entwined with this tale of secrets, sex tape and friendships. I’ll miss Kinsey, Henry, Chaney, Jonah, Rosie, Ed the cat and the others. I didn’t think this narrator did the character justice. It made Kinsey sound so dated. And the other voices were whiny and annoying.

Weak
Not enough plot for a full length book. Too much unnecessary detail. Struggled to finish it.
