Praise for Y is for Yesterday "I'm going to miss Kinsey Millhone. Ever since the first of Sue Grafton's Alphabet mysteries, A Is For Alibi , came out in 1982, Kinsey has been a good friend and the very model of an independent woman, a gutsy Californian P.I. rocking a traditional man's job...it's Kinsey herself who keeps this series so warm and welcoming. She's smart, she's resourceful, and she's tough enough to be sensitive on the right occasions." -- New York Times Book Review "This will leave readers both relishing another masterful entry and ruing the near-end of this series. Prime Grafton."-- Booklist , starred review "Grafton once again proves herself a superb storyteller." -- Publishers Weekly "The series may be coming to a close, but Grafton ( W Is for Wasted ) constructs an intricate plot following two time lines with at least a dozen characters in play while rarely slowing the pace." -- Library Journal "The lively, engrossing Y Is for Yesterday demonstrates that she hasn't lost her touch over the years ... Grafton is in sure command of Kinsey's wise-cracking but warm voice and of a many-layered plot that moves back and forth over events of a decade. Y Is For Yesterday might make you wish the alphabet had a few more letters." -- Tampa Bay Times- Review, Praise for Y is for Yesterday "I'm going to miss Kinsey Millhone.

Synopsis
THE FINAL INSTALLMENT IN SUE GRAFTON'S ALPHABET SERIES WINNER OF THE ANTHONY/BILL CRIDER AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL IN A SERIES Private investigator Kinsey Millhone confronts her darkest and most disturbing case in this #1 New York Times bestseller from Sue Grafton. In 1979, four teenage boys from an elite private school sexually assault a fourteen-year-old classmate--and film the attack. Not long after, the tape goes missing and the suspected thief, a fellow classmate, is murdered. In the investigation that follows, one boy turns state's evidence and two of his peers are convicted. But the ringleader escapes without a trace. Now, it's 1989 and one of the perpetrators, Fritz McCabe, has been released from prison. Moody, unrepentant, and angry, he is a virtual prisoner of his ever-watchful parents--until a copy of the missing tape arrives with a ransom demand. That's when the McCabes call Kinsey Millhone for help. As she is drawn into their family drama, she keeps a watchful eye on Fritz. But he's not the only one being haunted by the past. A vicious sociopath with a grudge against Millhone may be leaving traces of himself for her to find...

    Y is for Yesterday

    This is another wonderful book by an author whose gift of storytelling was legendary. Compelling characters, plot twists and believable scenes. I'm glad I picked up A is for Alibi years ago and read every one. Sadly, the alphabet does end with Y.

    in this alphabet series, this was the last book by this author. She died way too young.

    funny, kept me laughing thru the whole book. Can't put it down once I start it!

    Y is the end of this alphabet

    So sad to hear of one of my favorite authors death. I enjoyed reading all of her alphabet novels and have them all. If you have not read one of her books start with A and you will be hooked.

    Y is for Yesterday by Sue Grafton

    Love this author and her alphabet series. This was her last book and the subject matter is very interesting. Sue Grafton holds you in suspense until the end. Unfortunately, she never got to finish Z.
