Publisher's summary

The call comes on a Monday morning from a guy who scavenges defaulted storage units at auction. The weekend before, he'd bought a stack of cardboard boxes. In one, there was a collection of childhood memorabilia with Kinsey's name all over it.

Though she's never been one for personal possessions, curiosity is a powerful force. What she finds among the items is an old undelivered letter to her that will force her to reexamine her beliefs about the breakup of her first marriage...about the honor of her first husband...and about an old unsolved murder. It will put her life in the gravest peril.

Through 14 books, listeners have been fed short rations when it comes to Kinsey Millhone's past: a morsel here, a dollop there. You know about the aunt who raised her, the second husband who left her, the long-lost family up the California coast. But husband number one has remained a blip on the screen. Until now. "O" Is for Outlaw is a revealing excursion into Kinsey's past.

Critic reviews

• Romantic Times Award Winner - Best PI Novel, 1999

"Grafton works with a cinematic eye, possessing a keen visual sense of detail, color, and style. The pace is fast, the crime difficult to solve." (People)

Always Fantastic

I've never been disappointed by any of Sue Grafton's alphabet Mysteries. and Judy Kay is the only narrator who can do her justice

Wonderful story, with a couple of little issues

I really enjoyed both the story and the reading. It must be said that a couple of things happen in the final few minutes that are a bit odd (a non-spoiling one being Kinsey, without apparent reason, driving past four cops and about two sentences later bemoaning that there are no police on the road from whom she can seek protection). I didn't like the twee introduction of emotive background music for the epilogue - Sue Grafton's writing manages just fine on its own, thanks!

What can I say...Sue Grafton has done it again.

This one gets the heart in a way rarely seen in Kinsey. loved it !

Love, love Kinsey

The narrator makess a great book even better. She has done them alll so far so it would be weird to hear someone else. When I read the alphabet books I hear Judy's voice in my head.

O is for Outstanding of Sue Grafton and Judy Kaye

Sue Grafton never disappoints in her storytelling and spinning a yarn of details and puzzles in her mysteries and thrillers. She keeps me hanging on to the end. I'm figuring the clues right along with Kennsey Milhone. Judy Kaye is great in narrating all Sue's ABC books. Judy is the voice of Kennsey for certain.

What happened to Mary?

Ohhhhh noooo. The sudden change in readers threw me off. I had a vision of what Kinsey and Henry looked like in my mind. Now its messed up.

I will still give it a go and hope it turns out for the better.

Great book!

Sue Grafton has done it again. Another great novel! Looking forward to the next one. One of my very favorite authors.

Did not like the narrator

The stories are brilliant, but this narrator just isn’t Kinsey. It’s turned into an uninteresting boring story.

Love new narrator

I love the switch up of the narrator. It’s so much more entertaining this way I wish they can go back and change the others.

Good Story

I prefer Mary P readings, Henry sounds like an old woman by Judy Kaye. I liked the story, it got better as it went along.
