“An inventive plot and incisive character studies elevate MWA Grand Master Grafton’s twenty-fourth Kinsey Millhone novel...This superior outing will remind readers why this much-loved series will be missed as the end of the alphabet approaches.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)X: The number ten. An unknown quantity. A mistake. A cross. A kiss...Perhaps Sue Grafton’s darkest and most chilling novel, X features a remorseless serial killer who leaves no trace of his crimes. Once again breaking the rules and establishing new paths, Grafton wastes little time identifying this deadly sociopath. The test is whether private investigator Kinsey Millhone can prove her case against him—before she becomes his next victim.

"A well-woven yarn, and a welcome visit with Kinsey Millhone, her PD friends and her neighbors. I wasn't sure about picking up this book after being disappointed with the past several alphabet books. I recommend this for other lovers of Kinsey."

"Not only is this a highly approachable fictional look at Malcolm X's adolescence, it is also a great immersion into 1940s Roxbury and Harlem.<br/>"

"“We didn’t even know how good we had it back when it was merely skyrocketing unemployment and crumbling civil rights.”<br/>I typically love a freaky sci-fi mess with a compelling monster and a confusing plotline, but this just kept losing me. Maybe it was the bit that it was grounded in reality and seemed like a satire. Maybe it was just a bit too confusing in a bad way, like more of a fog than a feeling of disorientation. Not my favorite :/"
