About this ebook
Brace yourself for an "Electrifying and thoroughly satisfying" read (Publishers Weekly) from The New York Times #1 bestselling author Sue Grafton, the next installment in the award-winning series that introduced detective Kinsey Millhone—and a hot new attitude—to crime fiction...
M IS FOR MONEY
Malek Construction is a mega-million-dollar company that grew out of modest soil to become one of the big three in California construction—and one of the few still in family hands. Today, the three Malek sons stand to inherit a fortune, but in order for any one of them to claim his share, the missing fourth brother must be found.
M IS FOR MISSING
Now it's up to Kinsey Millhone to find the man who, eighteen years ago, vanished without a trace. Did he run away—or was he abducted? Did he intend to make something of himself on his own, apart from the wealth and prowess of his family, or were his motives something more sinister?
M IS FOR MALICE
The ties that bind. The rivalries of brotherhood. The fall of an empire... As Kinsey tries to unravel the mystery of the missing Malek brother she finds herself in a heart-stopping race against time in which loyalties are tested, greed is rampant, and no one—including Kinsey herself—is safe...

BOTTOM-LINE: Okay story, not much of a case or mystery. . PLOT OR PREMISE: Henry asks Kinsey to help some neighbours file a benefits claim for a deceased vet…seems simple enough. . WHAT I LIKED: Kinsey tries to help out, and gets sucked into the mystery…was the vet really a vet? Who keeps breaking into his old apartment? Why was he so paranoid in life? Why is she helping people she doesn't really like? It's fun watching her incrementally get sucked in more and more, so natural. And then she's off toDallas, following a man and woman who robbed the apartment. . WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: The story reads more like a treasure hunt than a mystery or a case. It's not terrible, but it's not really a mystery, and most of the main characters lie every time they open their mouth, with none of the stories being particularly interesting. . DISCLOSURE: I received no compensation, not even a free copy, in exchange for this review. I am not personal friends with the author, nor do I follow her on social media.
