Overview

S is for silence: the silence of the lost, the silence of the grave, the silence of oblivion.
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 that she left behind, her 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.

Sue Grafton hits another one out of the park. Could not wait to put the next disc in and listen to it. Can not wait to get the next book.

This was a fun book. There were a lot of characters to keep track of but I enjoyed the suspense. It went quickly.

Loved the story

I loved the story and it was told differently then her other books. While only one person read she changed her voice to show the different characters. The only thing I did not like was that the last track on a CD would in mid-scene without anything to tell me it was ended. My cars CD player just started on track 1 again and because I was driving I might not notice for a few minutes.

I think this was Sue Grafton's best ever in the series. It is true mystery and less fluff.
