Book Reviews of Both Ends of the Night (Bookcassette(r) Edition)

Book Review: Taking McCone to new heights...
Summary: 5 Stars

Marcia Muller takes San Francisco private investigator Sharon McCone to new heights (no pun intended) in Both Ends of the Night. This is the best book in the McCone series that I have read so far.

McCone is a pilot and learned how to fly from Matty Wildress. Matty is not only a flight instructor but also one of the top aerobatic flyers in the nation. Matty hires McCone to find her live-in lover, John Seabrook. Seabrook left suddenly with no explanation, leaving behind his 12-year old son, Zach. McCone not only has to discover where Seabrook has gone, but also, why he disappeared. The search for Seabrook leads McCone to Florida, Arkansas and Minnesota as she follows leads, assumptions and a trail of evidence. McCone is also worried that perhaps she won't find Seabrook alive.

To solve this mystery, McCone must navigate through the Witness Protection Program, a 10-year old unsolved contract killing, a corrupt aviation company, a federal investigation, a company cover-up, and the disappearance of the owner's son. Along the way, she receives help from her ever growing staff, friend and San Francisco homicide detective Adah Joslyn, FBI agent Craig Morland, and lover Hy Ripinsky (who is also a personal friend of Wildress). In the course of the book, we also learn much about planes, flying and human nature.

The plot for Both Ends is extremely well-developed. Unlike many mysteries, the bad guys aren't all bad and the good guys aren't all good. Also, not all the good guys are still standing at the end, which makes Both Ends more like real life.

Muller has become one of those series which I am determined to read every book--it's that good.

Summary of Both Ends of the Night (Bookcassette(r) Edition)

Sharon McCone's flight instructor Matty confides that her boyfriend, John Seabrook, is missing and asks McCone to find him. Shortly afterwards, Matty is killed in an "accidental" plane crash. Sharon discovers that, a decade ago, Seabrook was placed in the Federal Witness Protection Program after testifying against a man who has been missing for the last ten years. Following sinister leads, Sharon travels to a frozen wilderness - and comes faces to face with Matty's killer.
San Francisco-based private detective Sharon McCone is tracking a man whose actions have already caused the deaths of two women who loved and trusted him in the 18th installment of this memorable series. Because Marcia Muller's books are as much about McCone's relationships with her extended, occasionally dysfunctional family as they are about the cases themselves, first-time visitors might have trouble sorting out all the relatives. But, as always, the rewards are well worth the effort. In this case, there are several evocative flying scenes that help groundlings understand why people do it, a stinging attack on the callousness of the Witness Protection Program, and more glimpses into the tangled soul of Hy Ripinsky, McCone's interesting lover. Other McCone adventures in paperback include The Broken Promise Land, A Wild and Lonely Place, Till the Butchers Cut Him Down, and Wolf in the Shadows.
