W Is for Wasted

W Is for Wasted
W Is for Wasted

Kinsey Millhone untangles intriguing web of waste.

If you enjoy a mystery that takes you through twists and turns while threading a social commentary on the fringes of society, "W is for Wasted" might just be your next page-turner. Sue Grafton is masterful at creating a detective story that's not just about solving a crime, but also peeling back the layers of characters' lives to reveal the impact of waste—both material and human—on individuals and community.

  • Left Coast Crime Award Nominee for Best mystery set within the United States (The Squid) (2014)
  • Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Mystery & Thriller (2013)

Description

The first victim was a local PI of suspect reputation who’d been gunned down near the beach at Santa Teresa. The other body was found on the beach six weeks later—a homeless man with Kinsey Millhone’s name and number written on a slip of paper in his pants pocket. Two seemingly unrelated deaths, one a murder, the other apparently of natural causes. But as Kinsey digs deeper into the mystery of the John Doe, some very strange linkages begin to emerge. Not just between the two victims, but also to Kinsey’s past. And before long Kinsey, through no fault of her own, is thoroughly compromised…
