Continued from 2C upon a tough-woman detective and a formula which have made her the best selling detective writer in the United States. The detective is Kinsey Millhone and the formula is based on letters of the alphabet: A is for Alibi (her first novel) to J is for Judgement {her most recent book). Ten nov- ¢ls,in about 12 years. Grafton's novels take place along the California coast—a locale which suits detective work because the material culture seems to attract those who tum to crime to get ahead or control money and people. This nearly mad plastic world of real estate deals, land grabs, overnight devel opments, and retirement havens teems with opportunity for crime. This is the same world Ross MacDonald, a Canadi- an, wrote about in books such as Still, Grafton’s books have some- thing new because of the female detective functioning :-in a tough society dominated by male crooks. Like her male counterparts, Kinsey Millhone employs sleuthing practices which put her at odds with local police forces. Like male sleuths, she seems to pe always short on cash, gets beat up a lot, is nearly outdone, but manages to find a way to succeed.

Like male detectives, she is always jogging to retain her fit- ness, and like them, she jumps into bed with the opposite sex as Teadily as her code and schedule will allow. She totes a hand gun, she has a licence, and she is avail- able in a new book by Grafton called J i . Sue Grafton may not have the literary ability of Arthur Conan, Doyle or Agatha Christie, but her novels are fast-paced, filled with tension, and reasonably sophisti- cated in plot. The same can be said for the other female mystery writers currently enjoying the Success of the best seller list. As time-fillers, these novels are won- derful. They make you think— but only while you are reading them. That is the joy of mystery novels, after all. So, instead of pursuing a male detective from One clue to another, we can now spend sinister afternoons on Strange side streets following female detectives seeking justice.
