N Is for Noose (A Kinsey Millhone Mystery)

Sarah Sammis

The unfinished business left by Detective Tom Newquist's untimely death brings Kinsey Millhone out to Nota Lake on a case that will put her life in jeopardy. Kinsey takes on the case of a widow who is convinced her husband died under mysterious circumstances and that the entire town is covering up for the murderer. What Mrs. Newquist and Kinsey don't realize is that the murderer is closer than either would dare suspect but any observant reader will probably realize fairly early on.

I enjoyed N is for Noose, not for the mystery which was one of the most obvious plots I've read in a while, but for the descriptions of Nota Lake County. Anyone who has vacationed along the 395 by Mono Lake or down closer to Mammoth will recognize the areas described as Nota Lake.

Unfortunately by the final third of N is for Noose the scenic descriptions weren't enough to keep me all that interested. The plot was railroaded to such an extent that I knew within pages what had to come to next all the way to the end.

i love these books. typing with my left hand because i had shoulder surgery monday. this one left a lot of things unresolved.

Each mystery remains relatively unique and, aside from the usual climax with some kind of physical threat to Kinsey, Grafton has remained above cookie cutter novels. I am delighted to continue listening to the series.
