Review: Did its job
Rating: 3 out of 5

I downloaded the free preview chapters when it was available.  The story about Kinsey was so good that I wound up buying the first 5 of the alphabet series, so the freebie did its job.  I had heard of Sue Grafton, but had never read her work before this.I can tell that the author's writing has grown.  The story in this preview, copyrighted 2013, was punchier, more concise, more riveting than the first few of the alphabet series, but I'm assuming that her writing matured with each successive book.I agree with one of the other reviewers.  The story about Kit Blue is darker, a little too close to home to seem like escape literature for me.  Maybe if I'm in the right mood, I'll read the rest of the book of short stories, but for now there are lots more of the alphabet mysteries I haven't read.
