M is for Malice by Sue Grafton
4.0
I'm reading the Kinsey Millhone novels very much out of sequence, and having only read two previously arrived at M Is For Malice with no real preconceptions. I was very pleasantly surprised.
The novel has a very "old school" feel, just the one murder which takes place over half way through the book, giving each character depth and nuance before demolishing their worlds. Millhone, who is a brilliant creation, solves the mystery the old-fashioned way; by interviewing suspects, finding clues and making solid deductions. No sudden shark-jumps, no car chases or gun fights, just solid, enjoyable, character led detection. A lovely, thoroughly enjoyable mystery.
