Genre - Mystery


Sharon McCone is depressed & burnt out. She runs a successful private investigation agency in San Francisco, but her last job has left her wondering where her life is headed. She investigated sabotage at her husband’s private security, & was nearly blown up in the process. She heads to her ranch to heal her wounds & think about the future. While she’s there, she becomes involved in the search for a missing girl, the niece of Ramon Perez, who works at the ranch. The trail soon leads to murder & to a crime from the past, where her investigations frighten the murderer into trying to cover their tracks. Marcia Muller has created a great character in McCone, in a series which began in the late 1970s. Fast-paced action & lots of background about McCone, her family & friends, make this a good place to start in this long-running series.
