u003cpu003eReaders of Sue Grafton´s fiction know she never writes the same book twice, and u003ciu003e´I´ Is For Innocentu003c/iu003e is no exception. Her most intricately plotted novel to date, it is layered in enough complexity to baffle even the cleverest among us.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eLonnie Kingman is in a bind. He´s smack in the middle of assembling a civil suit, and the private investigator who was doing his pretrial legwork has just dropped dead of a heart attack. In a matter of weeks the court´s statute of limitations will put paid to his case. Five years ago David Barney walked when a jury acquitted him of the murder of his rich wife, Isabelle. Now Kingman, acting as attorney for the dead woman´s ex-husband and their child (and sure that the jury made a serious mistake), is trying to divest David Barney of the profits of that murder. But time is running out, and David Barney still swears he´s innocent.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003ePatterned along the lines of a legal case, u003ciu003e´I´ Is For Innocentu003c/iu003e is seamlessly divided into thirds: one-third of the novel is devoted to the prosecution, one-third to the defense, and a final third to cross-examination and rebuttal. The result is a trial novel without a trial and a crime novel that resists solution right to the end.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eWhen Kinsey Millhone agrees to take over Morley Shine´s investigation, she thinks it is a simple matter of tying up the loose ends. Morley might have been careless about his health, but he was an old pro at the business. So it comes as a real shock when she finds his files in disarray, his key informant less than credible, and his witnesses denying ever having spoken with him. It comes as a bigger shock when she finds that every claim David Barney has made checks out. But if Barney didn´t murder his wife, who did? It would seem the list of candidates is a long one. In life, Isabelle Barney had stepped on a lot of toes.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eIn u003ciu003e´I´ Is For Innocentu003c/iu003e, Sue Grafton once again demonstrates her mastery of those telling details that reveal our most intimate and conflicted relationships. As Kinsey comments on the give-and-take by which we humans deal with each other, for better and sometimes for worse, the reader is struck yet again by how acute a social observer Ms. Grafton can be. Frequently funny and sometimes caustic, she is also surprisingly compassionate-- understanding how little in life is purely black and white. Except for murder.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eSomewhere out there, a killer waits to see just what Kinsey will find out. Somewhere out there, someone´s been getting away with murder, and this time it just might turn out to be Kinsey´s.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003eu003ciu003e´I´ Is For Innocentu003c/iu003e is Sue Grafton in peak form. Fast-paced. Funny. And very, very devious.u003c/pu003eu003cpu003e´A´ Is for Alibiu003cbru003e´B´ Is for Burglaru003cbru003e´C´ Is for Corpseu003cbru003e´D´ Is for Deadbeatu003cbru003e´E´ Is for Evidenceu003cbru003e´F´ Is for Fugitiveu003cbru003e´G´ Is for Gumshoeu003cbru003e´H´ Is for Homicideu003cbru003e´I´ Is for Innocentu003cbru003e´J´ Is for Judgmentu003cbru003e´K´ Is for Killeru003cbru003e´L´ is for Lawlessu003cbru003e´M´ Is for Maliceu003cbru003e´N´ Is for Nooseu003cbru003e´O´ Is for Outlawu003cbru003e´P´ Is for Peril u003cbru003e´Q´ Is for Quarryu003cbru003e´R´ Is for Ricochet u003cbru003e´S´ Is for Silence u003cbru003e´T´ Is for Trespassu003cbru003e´U´ Is for Undertow u003cbru003e´V´ Is for Vengeance u003cbru003e´W´ Is for Wasted u003cbru003e´X´u003c/pu003e
