S is for Silence (Kinsey Millhone, Bk 19)
PattiA avatar reviewed on + 17 more book reviews


a hot-blooded young woman named Violet Sullivan disappeared 34 years ago. Violet's daughter, Daisy, who was seven at the time, hires Millhone to discover her mother's true fate. Violet had toyed with every man in town at one time or another, so there's no shortage of scandalous secrets and possible suspects. Constant revelations concerning several absorbing characters allow a terrific tension to build. However, the utterly illogical and oddly abrupt ending undermines what is otherwise one of the stronger offerings in this iconic series.
