Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the first book of the Kinsey Millhone series?

Answer: 'A is for Alibi'

In this first book Kinsey investigates an eight year old murder case. The murderer has already served her sentence, but was she guilty of the crime? She calls Kinsey in to find out who the real murderer was...there's a twist at the end too.

2. What were her mother and father's first names?

Answer: Rita and Randall

Rita was from a well-to-do family and Randall (AKA Randy) was a postal worker.

3. In one book Kinsey befriends Bobby Callahan, who uses her gym. He is crippled and believes someone is trying to kill him. Which book is this?

Answer: 'C is for Corpse'

This was the first Kinsey book I read and it got me hooked. You don't have to read the books in order to understand what is going on. The characters in this book are very real, and this book has quite sad moments in it.

4. What is the FULL name of Kinsey's aunt who looked after her as a child?

Answer: Virginia Kinsey

Aunt Gin influenced many of Kinsey's character traits. She's the reason why Kinsey is self sufficient and prone to being a loner.

5. In which novel did Kinsey meet Bob Dietz?

Answer: 'G is for Gumshoe'

Bob is one of my favourite characters and I'd love for Kinsey and him to get together.

6. What is the name of Kinsey's second husband?

Answer: Daniel Wade

Bob is her on and off lover, Jonah is a policeman who helps her out occasionally (she also had a brief fling with him) and Lonnie is her attorney.

7. In 'O is for Outlaw' we find out about Kinsey's first husband. What was his name?

Answer: Mickey Magruder

Mickey was a policeman and was a big influence on Kinsey. Teddy Rich is the man responsible for bringing Mickey back into Kinsey's life - he finds a box with a lot of her stuff in and he contacts her. This starts a chain of events involving Mickey. John Russell is a character in an Elmore Leonard novel - Mickey uses this name as an alias. Daniel Wade was Kinsey's second husband.

8. What does 'P' stand for in this series?

Answer: Peril

Kinsey investigates the disappearance of Dr Dowan Purcell. As usual there are great characters and a twist in the tale.

9. In which book does Kinsey's first Volkswagen Beetle get run off the road by a pick up truck?

Answer: 'G is for Gumshoe'

Kinsey is on the hit list of a killer she once investigated, Tyrone Patty. She hires Bob Dietz to look after her, and he does a very good job!

10. What is the surname of Henry, Kinsey's young-at-heart landlord?

Answer: Pitts

11. What was Henry's profession before he retired?

Answer: Baker

He's always baking something....no wonder I'm always hungry when I read these books.

12. What is the name of the insurance company from which Kinsey rents office space?

Answer: California Fidelity Insurance

She has worked cases for them in the past.

13. Kinsey often eats at Rosie's. What nationality is Rosie?

Answer: Hungarian

And what a strange one she is too!

14. What is Kinsey's everyday uniform?

Answer: Jeans and a turtleneck

She has numerous jeans and sweaters, she's often seen in her sweats on her runs, for special occasions she has one 'little black dress' that is never wrinkled, but I don't think we'd ever hear of Kinsey in a business suit.

15. Who cuts Kinsey's hair?

Answer: Kinsey

She just hacks away at it with a pair of nail scissors.
