KINSEY AND ME Stories

Grafton’s unique work has two parts: The nine Kinsey Millhone detective stories are gems of witty insight into the human condition, told in Grafton’s familiar authorial voice. The memoir part of the book reveals Kinsey’s origins and takes a sensitive but realistic look at Grafton’s life and dysfunctional family. Judy Kaye’s no-nonsense reading style uses her plethora of voice changes, heightened emotion, and precise pauses to increase the suspense and add to the drama. Kaye has a delightful alto voice and a seemingly innate storytelling ability. The affinity she has developed for Kinsey and Grafton over their 20-plus years of collaboration is palpable. Series fans will be delighted, and new fans may result. S.C.A. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2013]
