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.
According to Sue Grafton, narrator Judy Kaye channels Kinsey Millhone. We agree; she sounds just as Kinsey ought to sound--brave, energetic, funny, sympathetic, and alto-voiced. In this, the nineteenth installment in Grafton's popular alphabet series, P.I. Kinsey is hired by the daughter of a woman who disappeared 34 years ago. The task: find the woman or the corpse. Clever person that she is, Kinsey also finds the murderer. In addition to her excellent portrayal of Kinsey, Kaye offers nuanced, believable renditions of the other characters: men, women, young, and old. Her reading is well paced, with a tempo that always matches the action. This is how it should be done. R.E.K. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
