Book Reviews of S is for Silence (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries)
Book Review: Different Perspectives...
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book. In S is for Silence, Kinsey is approached by a young woman wanting to find out what happened to her mother...over thirty years ago. While Grafton's previous books have been from Kinsey's point of view, this one shifts, and not only lets us see things through Kinsey's eyes, but flashes back and gives us other character's perspectives.
In this time of instant information and technological wizardry, it is interesting to see how a private investigator in the 1980's had to find out information from an event that happened 30 years before that. No Google searches for Kinsey!
I am glad that Grafton has chosen to keep Kinsey in real time, which leaves her in the eighties. Kinsey is detail oriented and an old fashioned sleuth. This book grabbed me from the start and didn't let go!
Summary of S is for Silence (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries)
Thirty-four years ago, Violet Sullivan put on her party finery and left for the annual Fourth of July fireworks display. She was never seen again.In the small California town of Serena Station, tongues wagged. Some said she'd run off with a lover. Some said she was murdered by her husband.
But for the not-quite-seven-year-old daughter Daisy she left behind, Violet's absence has never been explained or forgotten.
Now, thirty-four years later, she wants the solace of closure.
In S is for Silence, Kinsey Millhone's nineteenth excursion into the world of suspense and misadventure, S is for surprises as Sue Grafton takes a whole new approach to telling the tale. And S is for superb: Kinsey and Grafton at their best.
