The Sue Grafton GHI Gift Collection brings together the seventh, eighth, and ninth Kinsey Millhone novels on CD for the first time, continuing the Santa Teresa P.I.'s cases without interruption. All three abridgments were approved by the author and are narrated by Judy Kaye across nine compact discs and nine hours of audio.

G is for Gumshoe — Kinsey Millhone's thirty-third birthday arrives with apartment renovations, a promising new case, and an unwelcome surprise: she's landed at the top of hit man Tyrone Patty's list. It turns out to be a birthday she won't soon forget.

H is for Homicide — The death of claims adjuster Parnell Perkins looks to the police like a robbery gone wrong. To Kinsey it looks like something else entirely. As the evidence leads her to insurance scammer Bibianna Diaz, Kinsey finds herself in a race against time — because Bibianna's spurned and violent suitor Raymond Maldonado is closing in fast.

I is for Innocent — Kenneth Voight never believed justice was served when David Barney was acquitted in the shooting death of Voight's ex-wife Isabelle. Five years on, Voight is the plaintiff in a civil wrongful death suit and hires Kinsey to gather the damning evidence needed to win it. What begins as a straightforward civil case becomes a deadly hunt for someone who got away with murder once — and may be willing to kill again to stay free.

The Heart of the Series:

Books 7 through 9 represent Grafton hitting her full stride — the plots grow more layered, Kinsey's personal life deepens, and the Santa Teresa world becomes increasingly vivid and populated. For listeners working through the series in order, this set follows naturally from the DEF collection. For those new to Grafton, each of these three novels also works as a self-contained entry point, with enough context provided within each story to orient new listeners.

About the Author:

Sue Grafton (1940–2017) is one of the most decorated figures in American crime fiction, recognized with the Mystery Writers of America's Grand Master Award and a permanent place on the New York Times bestseller list. Her Kinsey Millhone series — deliberately set in the 1980s and told in first person with Grafton's signature dry wit — is both a master class in procedural mystery writing and a sustained character study spanning twenty-five novels. The series conclusion, Y is for Yesterday, was published months before Grafton's death; the final volume was never written, and her estate has confirmed it never will be.

About the Narrator:

Judy Kaye's work narrating the complete Kinsey Millhone Alphabet series represents one of audiobook publishing's great long-term collaborations between narrator and character. A Tony Award winner for The Phantom of the Opera and a nominee for her roles in Mamma Mia! and Ragtime — in which she originated the role of Emma Goldman — Kaye is as much a Broadway institution as she is an audiobook one. Her Kinsey is pitch-perfect: wry, observant, unsentimental, and completely believable across every installment of the series.
