Today's paper ran a story about mystery writer, and fellow Kentuckian, Sue Grafton. I have only read one of her novels, N Is For Noose. I read it for a book club that I was a member of and I have to admit that I was not crazy about it. It must be me though, for Sue Grafton is a bestselling author who has already created 19 books around her sleuthing Kinsey Millhone. Perhaps I should pick up the first in the series and give her another try.
My wife loves mystery series so I am thinking about getting some of Grafton's novels for her to read. My wife loves the James Qwilleran series (The Cat Who Books) created by Lilian Jackson Brain as well as Janet Evanovich's mystery series. We recently heard that Janet Evanovich's detective, Stephanie Plum, will soon be coming to the big screen. Both Reese Witherspoon and Sandra Bullock are being considered as the female sleuth. My wife is pulling for Sandra Bullock who more closely resembles the Stephanie Plum that my wife has pictured in her head.
