Bestselling mystery author Sue Grafton is best known for her Kinsey Milhone novels (also affectionately called the alphabet mysteries for their clever titles). The series is 22 books in and still going strong. The latest book in the series, 2011’s V is for Vengeance, was rated an RT Top Pick! In today’s interview with RT’s Stephanie, Grafton shares her views on the psychology of violence, talks about the narrative directions she’s taken with her stories and the ways that she keeps the series fresh. (One of these ways is that she works hard to capture Kinsey “in the moment” and not think too far ahead, in fact she doesn’t even know what the title for her W mystery will be!) Plus, find out what the author thinks she’ll do after she wraps up Kinsey’s final alphabet adventure!
