Y is for Yesterday

I enjoyed Y is for Yesterday by Sue Grafton is another of her Kinsey Millhone stories.  Kinsey, a private investigator, is hired by a couple to find out who is behind a blackmail attempt.  They have been sent a video tape which shows their son, recently released from prison for another crime, involved in a rape.  The Millhone stories are set in the late 1980s, this one in 1989 and it is interesting to see how things were done in an era before mobile phones.  Part of this story is set in 1979 where a group of teenage friends hang out together and get involved in a murder and a rape.  In 1989, these teenagers are now grown up but what happens is ultimately related back to the events of 1979.  As well Kinsey is dealing with her nemesis Ned Lowe.  It's a good story, maybe too long at nearly 500 pages. 4/5
