What you thought: S is for Silence is the nineteenth in the series of the alphabet mysteries with Kinsey Millhone, who never fails to disappoint. It’s September 1987, thirty five years previously, Daisy Sullivan’s mother; Violet, disappeared from Serena Station, California on the 4th July 1953 and was never heard from again. Now Daisy wants peace of mind.

At first Kinsey is hesitant to open this case, but she decides to spend five days looking into it. Soon Kinsey discovers that there are people that want to keep their association with Violet away from prying eyes. They will do anything to stop Kinsey, even if it means killing her in the process…

This is another great mystery from Sue Grafton, she knows how to keep us in suspense, drawing out the tension to the point where it is almost painful. There have been times where I have found myself telling Kinsey ‘Kinsey, don’t do that, you’re asking for trouble’. But she goes ahead and does it anyway.
