Sue Grafton is a master at her craft and just keeps getting better. In her latest, U is for Undertow, Kinsey Millhone's 21st outing, Grafton adopts a shifting timeline--toggling back and forth between events in the story's present (i.e., 1988) and the era when many of the events were set in motion (i.e., 1967). In addition, Grafton allows the perspective/point of view to shift between our third-person omniscient narrator--who has historically focused on Kinsey--and the perspectives of two of her highschool classmates who are implicated in the worst of the events outlined in the mystery. While in an unaccomplished writer's hands this shifting perspective might be confusing, but Grafton pulls it off expertly. It's almost as though she wants to give her diehard fans that little extra something--showing that she's by no means running out of either material or deft writing this far into the series. The series of events that unfold in U is for Undertow are handled really well. Kinsey's client is unreliable--that is, his accounts of things just don't hold water. Unfortunately, the basis of what he's saying--just not the particulars--is heartbreakingly true. This poses a really interesting set of challenges for Kinsey, for law enforcement, and for anyone who might potentially try to place Michael Sullivan on a witness stand. In providing his backstory as a victim of a psychologist who delved for "recovered memories" of child abuse, Grafton is adding layers to the discomfort Kinsey feels in working with this client and in interacting with his estranged siblings and the distraught mother of a young child who disappeared some 21 years ago. In addition to the top-notch storyline, we get additional bits of Kinsey's evolving family saga. As readers are well aware, Kinsey was raised by her maiden aunt after her parents' death when she was only five. We have also read of assorted family dramas and bled for Kinsey as she learned in her late 30s of the existence of relations (i.e., a grandmother, assorted aunts, cousins, etc.) of whom she never knew. And they all live a relatively short journey from her Santa Theresa location. Well that bit of the story heats up a bit, too, and it must be said that Kinsey really shines. She learns some hard truths, some unexpected truths, and gives the impression of coming out the other end the better person for it. If you like a well-written mystery, enjoy good characterization and a taut plotline, you could do a lot worse than devote an evening or two to U is for Undertow.
