Kinsey and Me [large print] : stories / Sue Grafton.

Summary:

In 1928, Sue Grafton introduced us to Kinsey Millhone. To make this anniversary year, Sue has given us stories that reveal just how much of Kinsey is grounded in her own past. The nine stories that open the book are each gems of detection. So much has happened in the decades since Kinsey made her debut that it's easy to forget she was part of a seismic shift in the private eye novel. The thirteen stories that form the second part of the book were written in the decade after Grafton's mother died. These stories feature Kit Blue, a younger version of Sue herself. They are dark with their undercurrent of sadness and muted pain.
