SMART AND SASSY (New York Times) P.I. Kinsey Millhone is at it again in N is for Noose―another thrilling adventure from the #1 New York Times bestselling author Sue Grafton. Kinsey Millhone should have done something else--she should have turned the car in the direction of home. Instead she was about to put herself in the gravest jeopardy of her career.. Tom Newquist had been a detective in the Nota Lake sheriffs office--a tough honest cop respected by everyone. When he died suddenly the townsfolk were saddened but not surprised: Just shy of sixty-five Newquist worked too hard smoked too much and exercised too little. That plus an appetite for junk food made him a poster boy for an American Heart Association campaign. Newquists widow didnt doubt the coroners report. But what Selma couldnt accept was not knowing what had so bothered Tom in the last six weeks of his life. What was it that had made him prowl restlessly at night that had him brooding constantly? Selma Newquist wanted closure and the only way shed get it was if she found out what it was that had so bedeviled her husband. Kinsey should have dumped the case. It was vague and hopeless like looking for a needle in a haystack. Instead she set up shop in Nota Lake where she found that looking for a needle in a haystack can draw blood. Very likely her own.N Is for Noose: a novel in which Kinsey Millhone becomes the target and an entire town seems in for the kill..
