This preview is an excellent sample of the complete book. I've just finished reading an uncorrected proof of the forthcoming book. The preview contains a story from each of the two sections in the book, plus a personal essay from Grafton about how she came to write both mysteries and the previously unpublished stories based on her childhood with alcoholic parents.I enjoyed the mysteries, but found the more personal stories too dark and sad. You can get a good idea of whether you'll enjoy the book from this Kindle preview. The mystery stories, which all feature Kinsey Millhone, take up a little over half the book. They are excellent -- fast-paced with few characters with endings that surprise and satisfy.
