Quick Summary

Y Is for Yesterday is the 25th novel in Sue Grafton's alphabetically titled mystery series, featuring private detective Kinsey Millhone. The series began with A Is for Alibi in 1982 and is known for its resilient, independent protagonist who investigates crimes in the fictional California city of Santa Teresa. Grafton's novels often explore social issues and were credited with challenging the chauvinistic tone of traditional hard-boiled fiction by presenting a strong, flawed female lead. Y Is for Yesterday was published in 2017, shortly before Grafton's death.1
