In "J" is for Judgment, Sue Grafton's Kinsey Milhone is hired to find a man who supposedly committed suicide several years earlier. She locates the scoundrel in Mexico in the company of a woman whose husband had died several years previously, and her subject is using the dead man's name. Millhone manages to dig up plenty of dirt in her search for the truth behind the obvious. It's a good story for a long trip, although being abridged, much of Grafton's caustic writing has been lost. Interestingly, this is the first mystery I remember reading (with the exception perhaps of some of George Simenon's Maigret mysteries) in which there is no murder. I'm also curious to find out what Grafton is going to do when she arrives at the end of the alphabet.
