About this listen
Of number-one New York Times best-selling author Sue Grafton, NPR's Maureen Corrigan said, "Makes me wish there were more than 26 letters." With only two letters left, Grafton's many devoted listeners will share that sentiment.
X: the number 10. An unknown quantity. A mistake. A cross. A kiss.
X: the shortest entry in Webster's Unabridged. Derived from Greek and Latin and commonly found in science, medicine, and religion. The most graphically dramatic letter. Notoriously tricky to pronounce: Think xylophone.
X: the 24th letter in the English alphabet.
Sue Grafton's X: Perhaps her darkest and most chilling novel, it features a remorseless serial killer who leaves no trace of his crimes. Once again breaking the rules and establishing new paths, Grafton wastes little time identifying this sociopath. The test is whether Kinsey can prove her case against him before she becomes his next victim.

Story4 out of 5 stars 244
In 1982, Sue Grafton introduced us to Kinsey Millhone. Thirty years later, Kinsey is an established international icon and Sue, a number-one best-selling author. To mark this anniversary year, Sue has given us stories that reveal Kinsey’s origins and Sue’s past. Kinsey and Me has two parts: The nine Kinsey stories (1986-93), each a gem of detection; and the And Me stories, written in the decade after Grafton's mother died. Together, they show just how much of Kinsey is a distillation of her creator’s past.

Two women. Many aliases. Meg Williams. Maggie Littleton. Melody Wilde. Different names for the same person, depending on the town, depending on the job. She's a con artist who erases herself to become whoever you need her to be—a college student. A life coach. A real estate agent. Nothing about her is real. She slides alongside you and tells you exactly what you need to hear, and by the time she's done, you've likely lost everything.

Critic reviews
“Grafton’s endless resourcefulness in varying her pitches in this landmark series, graced by her trademark self-deprecating humor, is one of the seven wonders of the genre." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)
“Excellent...pulse-pounding...Grafton has never been better.” (Booklist, starred review)
“Ratcheting up the heat as she heads toward the finish line of her alphabetically-framed series, Grafton has turned in a corker of a novel with X, upping her already high-level game.” (The Boston Globe)

In a city where someone is murdered almost every day, attorney Michael Abramowitz's death should be just another statistic. But the slain lawyer's notoriety—and his noontime trysts with Rock's fiancée—make the case front page news...and point to Rock as the likely murderer. But trying to prove her friend's innocence could prove costly to Tess.

Unemployed at 29, Tess Monaghan is willing to take any freelance job to pay the rent—including a bit of unorthodox snooping for her rowing buddy, Darryl "Rock" Paxton. In a city where someone is murdered almost every day, attorney Michael Abramowitz's death should be just another statistic. But the slain lawyer's notoriety—and his noontime trysts with Rock's fiancée—make the case front page news...and point to Rock as the likely murderer. But trying to prove her friend's innocence could prove costly to Tess.

The "maddog" murderer who is terrorizing the Twin Cities is two things: insane and extremely intelligent. He kills for the pleasure of it and thoroughly enjoys placing elaborate obstacles to keep police befuddled. Each clever move he makes is another point of pride. But when the brilliant Lieutenant Lucas Davenport, a dedicated cop and a serial killer's worst nightmare, is brought in to take up the investigation, the maddog suddenly has an adversary worthy of his genius.

It's 1942 and Willowjean "Will" Parker is a scrappy circus runaway whose knife-throwing skills have just saved the life of New York's best, and most unorthodox, private investigator, Lillian Pentecost. When the dapper detective summons Will a few days later, she doesn't expect to be offered a life-changing proposition: Lillian's multiple sclerosis means she can't keep up with her old case load alone, so she wants to hire Will to be her right-hand woman. In return, Will is to receive a salary, room and board, and training in Lillian's very particular art of investigation.

Laurence Fife was a slick divorce lawyer and slippery ladies' man. Until someone killed him. The jury believed that it was his pretty young wife Nikki, so they sent her to prison for eight years. Now, Nikki's out on parole and Kinsey Millhone's in for trouble. Nikki hires Kinsey to discover who really killed her husband. But the trail is eight years cold, and at the end is a chilling twist even Kinsey doesn't suspect, a second eight-year-old murder and a brand new corpse.

eXcellent
I am a HUGE fan of these novels. I really feel that this is one if not the best. It only makes me worry that we might be coming close to the end. What do we have after Y and Z. If the next two are like X, lucky us. It's been a wonderful collection of wonderful reads. Thank you Sue Grafton

Loved it!
Having lived in the 80s, it's nice to visit and see the simpler,
yet exciting life that Kinsey leads.

Another winner...
Once again Sue Grafton has written a winner. I always like to hear Kinsey's latest cases, she never disappoints. Judy Kaye is the voice of Kinsey. The only downside to listening to this audiobook is the fact that I have to wait two years for the next book in the series! I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy a good mystery!

Kinsey is the best!
Lots going on in this story, but Kinsey manages to pull it all together. Judy Kaye brings so much to the narrative it's even MORE enjoyable. Now the bad part....I have to wait for the next one.

Kinsey back and just as good.
Listening to Judy Kaye takes me back to the days when my audiobooks were on cassette tapes and traded at Cracker Barrel. All the old characters, with the same endearing qualities. The story is pretty interesting, though it tales abit at the end. Hoping its the set up for "Y"!

not her best, but still a good book. It is not a book that you want to listen to again and again.

How could you not love this book?
Where does X rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
In the top 10% because I have read all the previous Kinzey Millhones. Would not be a good one to start on.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
No, it was not particularly exciting, but it the three separate plots were all interesting, and I enjoyed the characters.
Have you listened to any of Judy Kaye’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
She did her usual exceptional job.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
If I enjoy a book I prefer to savor it and spread it out over a few days. I did it in 5 days. Will probably reread it soon, as I often do when I enjoy a book.
Any additional comments?
Can't understand several of the reviewers being disappointed. This was a typical Kinzey Millhone, just the way we like them.
