P Is for Peril - Sue Grafton

B is for Burglar - Sue Grafton

to home about Sue Grafton s work - she has created a character that will appeal to most women. The author Sue Grafton is the daughter of C W Grafton, who wrote three detective novels during the 1940s.

Written mainly in the first person, the ...
