When the cops identified the perpetrators, Austin fled town and disappeared; Bayard made a deal for his testimony; Troy went to jail for five years; and Fritz (the actual shooter) was incarcerated by the California Youth Authority (CYA) until he was 25-years-old. Sure, saints are supposed to be all good and pure, and maybe they don't usually cuss like sailors and drink like fish, but I think the Almighty will make an exception for me in this case. When I hit those pearly gates and Saint Peter asks why I deserve to get in, I'll just say, "I read the entire Kinsey Millhone series." And, then, those gates will open, the balloons will fall and glitter and stuff... That sounds about right, huh? Moreover, the author describes each scene - including minor ones that don't move the story along - in extended, excruciating detail. Thus the book is at least one-third longer than necessary (IMO).

Y" Is for Yesterday is the twenty-fifth and final novel in the "Alphabet" series of mystery novels by Sue Grafton. Grafton intended to write a Z novel, but she died before she was able to do so. It features Kinsey Millhone, a private detective based in the fictional city of Santa Teresa, California. [1] Grafton is a writer of many strengths—crisp characterizations, deft plotting, and eloquent dialogue among them—and she has kept her long-running alphabet mystery series fresh and each new release more welcome than the last.”— Louisville Courier-Journal Kinsey diet: "I found a cherry Life Saver at the bottom of my shoulder bag and called that dinner." Iris mixed drink recipe "Flame thrower--Kahlua, banana-flavored liqueur, creme de menthe, and rum."Four juniors were implicated in Sloan's death: Bayard Montgomery, Troy Rademaker, Fritz McCabe, and ringleader Austin Brown. I've really hated how isolated Kinsey felt to me in the past few books was just her interacting with Henry and Rosie. But this one definitely showcases how many people are connected to Kinsey, and how many people just love her. I guessed a LOT and knew a LOT before Kinsey did, but I think readers were meant to know most of what I figured out. So Y was not my favorite in the series. Something just felt off. The plot involved a sexual assault on a teenager and it really made for some uncomfortable reading not just because of the crime committed but also the attitudes of the teenagers and adults. Given the book's events take place in the 1970s and 1980s though these unfortunately wouldn't have been unpopular or uncommon opinions. Regardless, it just felt jarring to read even if things haven't changed much in today's society. There are lengthy bits of meandering in the story, and the book was really in need of some good editing, and IMHO about half the book is superfluous. If all five of the 2018 nominees were put in a ‘heap’, this would come out at the bottom. Three of the five books were excellent one was ok and this one is quite a burden to read. It even got me wondering who is it that nominates books to become candidates for this award, so I looked it up. It’s basically three people whom I had never heard of.

Of #1 New York Times-bestselling author Sue Grafton, NPR's Maureen Corrigan said, "Makes me wish there were more than 26 letters." With only one letter left, Grafton's many devoted readers will share that sentiment. Well yeah, that's true. At least I don't have the crushing student loan debt to show for the last two months. Update, December 2017** The alphabet sadly ends at Y, with the news of much beloved writer Sue Grafton's death, after a 2 year battle with cancer. A loss for her family and her many, many devoted readers.

William's wife Rosie - a restaurant owner who serves original (and odd) Hungarian recipes and cheap wine; The series may be coming to a close, but Grafton constructs an intricate plot following two time lines with at least a dozen characters in play while rarely slowing the pace.”— Library Journal If you're a Kinsey Milhone fan, you should probably read this book. If you're not familiar with the series, don't start here.....it might put you off the others.

When something is divided into two equal parts, each of these two parts is one half of the original object. The action takes place in 1979 and 1989, and I noticed more than one anachronism. I was a fairly active follower of technology during that decade, and I'm pretty sure some of the equipment and processes mentioned in the 1979 accounts simply were not available at that time. I also noticed some errors that thorough copy-editing should have caught (never a good thing in my own professional copy-editor's eyes). Perhaps most distressing, though, is that the stars of the show, including private eye Kinsey Milhone and her elderly neighbor, Henry, exhibited almost none of the spunk and spirit I've come to know and love.

Places starting with the letter Y: This book felt more like 2017 (sans computers, voice mail, cell phones, etc. technology) than it does 1989 & 1979, the 2 years when the action takes place. Otherwise it felt too modern with one of its central issues and some others. Similar events have made recent news but I don’t remember them from those previous decades.This could have been much less interesting had it not been for the return of Ned Lowe, the bad guy from the previous book, X. Kinsey is still fairly young, but she seems more cautious than in the past. She is reluctant to carry her gun, and overall, she seems less sure of herself. I also wished for more of Henry and Rosie, although I have to say that I didn’t miss Rosie’s strange culinary concoctions or her bad wine. Once or twice is enough, thanks. The birthday party was a joy until, ahem, the interruption. The first chapter had a nice variance in sentence structures. In fact throughout the book I had to look up words. This does not work as well on a paper book as on the kindle. Created on March 1, 1872 when United States President Grant signed a law to create it, Yellowstone National Park is the world’s first national park. Yellowstone National Park is famous for its geysers and hot springs. The park contains about half the world’s geysers, including Old Faithful. Yellowstone has had many tourists. This is mostly because of the natural beauty of the Yellowstone park. Millions of people come to see it each and every year. Dinosaurs flourished during the Jurassic period, 208-146 million years ago. Stegosaurus and Apatosaurus were two dinosaurs that lived during the Jurassic. With the publication of "A" Is for Alibi in 1982, Sue Grafton introduced Kinsey Millhone, a private detective who lived and worked in the fictional town of Santa Teresa, California. The book was a revelation at a time when most medium- to hard-boiled detective fiction was still being written by men and when the protagonists of virtually all such novels were almost always men. Grafton and Millhone were a breath of fresh air and helped transform the genre. Now, thirty-five years and twenty-four entries later, we come to the final book in the series, Y Is for Yesterday. Sue Grafton died at the end of 2017, and was thus unable to complete the series with the book she had once planned to title Z Is for Zero.
