Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Kinsey Millhone is a series of mystery novels sometimes referred to as the 'Alphabet Mysteries', created by Sue Grafton. They follow the titular Kinsey Millhone, a private investigator in the fictional Santa Teresa, California. Reportedly: "Kinsey is 5'6" and weighs about 118 pounds. She has short, dark, thick hair that she trims with nail scissors, being generally uninterested in her physical appearance."Each book is named for letters of the alphabet, the final one being "Y" is for Yesterday. The series began in 1982 and ended in 2017, though in universe only six years had passed. The final book was to be published in 2019; it would have been called "Z" is for Zero and have taken place in 1990. Sadly, Grafton's passing in December 2017 (and lack of interest in working with a ghostwriter) meant that Y would be Kinsey's final adventure.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The books in the series are: "A" Is for Alibi (1982) "B" Is for Burglar (1985) "C" Is for Corpse (1986) "D" Is for Deadbeat (1987) "E" Is for Evidence (1988) "F" Is for Fugitive (1989) "G" Is for Gumshoe (1990) "H" Is for Homicide (1991) "I" Is for Innocent (1992) "J" Is for Judgment (1993) "K" Is for Killer (1994) "L" Is for Lawless (1995) "M" Is for Malice (1996) "N" Is for Noose (1998) "O" Is for Outlaw (1999) "P" Is for Peril (2001) "Q" Is for Quarry (2002) "R" Is for Ricochet (2004) "S" Is for Silence (2005) "T" Is for Trespass (2007) "U" Is for Undertow (2009) "V" Is for Vengeance (2011) "W" Is for Wasted (2013) "X" (2015) "Y" Is for Yesterday (2017) | |

Kinsey Millhone / int_1411ae39 | comment |
Likes Older Men / Likes Older Women: Kinsey finds her eighty-year-old landlord quite sexy, and wonders whether the fifty year age difference would be a hindrance to a relationship. Lawrence Fife, the victim in "A" is for Alibi, had a liking for older women. Anna Dace, a distant relative of Kinsey’s, who is 12 years Kinsey’s junior, shows some attraction towards Cheney Phillips in "W" is for Wasted. | |

Kinsey Millhone / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Kinsey. Despite her anti-social tendencies, casual approach to the law, and willingness to manipulate and lie to people to get what she wants, she really does take her clients' cases to heart, does her best to see justice done, and will go to hell and back for her loved ones. Rosie, the owner of a local restaurant Kinsey frequents and eventual sister-in-law to Henry, is brash, bossy, and abrasive, but really wants the best for Kinsey. | |

Asshole Victim: Quite frequently, Kinsey winds up digging for the truth behind the murder of one of these. Standouts include an alcoholic bigamist who beat up his second wife and killed a car full of people, including children while driving drunk, and a Ponzi scheme perpetrator who faked his own death, abandoned his wife and children without leaving them a cent, and absconded with the cash of hundreds of investors, many of whom lost everything. | |

Know When to Fold 'Em: Despite being nimble, smart, and in good physical shape, Kinsey is not a superhero and this shows repeatedly in the series. More often than not, books end with her being hunted by a desperate criminal ready to kill to protect their secrets, and she has to run and hide until she can either escape the situation or get her hands on a weapon. | |

Dirty Cop | |
Kinsey Millhone / int_eb251937 | comment |
Dirty Cop: Lt. Priddy from "V" is for Vengeance. It comes back to bite him in the ass when Dante, who had fled the country, throws him under the bus by having Kinsey get the former's crimes (and attempt to take over the latter's operation) exposed one way or another. | |

Too Good for This Sinful Earth | |
Kinsey Millhone / int_ee9877ea | comment |
Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Guy Malek was one of the kindest characters in the series, and Kinsey found him the most likeable out of his family too. Then he gets bludgeoned to death midway through his story. | |
