The Twist

M is for Malice by Sue Grafton
pages 45-132

Is it written in the first person, third person, or perhaps the second person, or perhaps a combination? Is the story told from one point of view or many?

The book is written in first person perspective. The main character, Kinsey Millhone, tells the whole story. She tries to find a guy who has been missing for 18+ years and blah blah blah. (I'm not trying to tell you the plot of the book now!) She tells how she interacts with the mans brothers, her family and her old flame. She describes her every move, like when she goes for a run every morning, she explains where she runs and how she can feel her blood pulsing through her body because of her ritual cardio-exercise.

If you could explain one detail about your life, whether it be from the past or the present, what would you say?! How would you explain it?!
