"Marian Wood Books."
"Of #1 New York Times-bestselling author Sue Grafton, NPR's Maureen Corrigan said, "Makes me wish there were more than 26 letters." With only one letter left, Grafton's many devoted readers will share that sentiment. The darkest and most disturbing case report from the files of Kinsey Millhone, Y is for Yesterday begins in 1979, when four teenage boys from an elite private school sexually assault a fourteen-year-old classmate--and film the attack. Not long after, the tape goes missing and the suspected thief, a fellow classmate, is murdered. In the investigation that follows, one boy turns state's evidence and two of his peers are convicted. But the ringleader escapes without a trace. Now, it's 1989 and one of the perpetrators, Fritz McCabe, has been released from prison. Moody, unrepentant, and angry, he is a virtual prisoner of his ever-watchful parents--until a copy of the missing tape arrives with a ransom demand. That's when the McCabes call Kinsey Millhone for help. As she is drawn into their family drama, she keeps a watchful eye on Fritz. But he's not the only one being haunted by the past. A vicious sociopath with a grudge against Millhone may be leaving traces of himself for her to find"-- Provided by publisher.

Yuck submitted by WolfWillow27994 on August 2, 2017, 12:46pm Convoluted and distasteful. Attempt at being edgy but failing spectacularly

Sounds horrible! submitted by jgetty on August 9, 2017, 10:14am I've read this series and was excited for the next book, but a very disturbing plot filming a rape, disgusting, totally disgusting. I will skip this book for sure. That is the last thing I want to read about. I read for pleasure and relaxation, and this would disturb me too much. Skipping this book.

good submitted by JulieCraig on December 10, 2017, 3:17pm Grafton tells a good story set in California. Kinsey and Henry are always likable characters. Grafton goes into more detail than usual, but some of the other AA library reviews seem to be over-reacting. Worth reading. Last book published before Grafton died.

weird submitted by Zaneeba on June 27, 2019, 8:24am this was the weirdest book i have ever read plus i almost never understood it

Not my favorite submitted by selujules on July 29, 2019, 6:24pm I've read almost all of the Kinsey books, and the plot of this one was not my favorite. Gratuitous descriptions of rape, which I found unnecessary. Sad that this is the last one in the series!
