Editorial Review (from Amazon.com)
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.

Southern Girl thinks this book is Good.
So many of these Kinsey Millhone books seem interchangeable, but this was one of the better ones in a long time. IMO, it was due to a different narrative style -- this time we don't stay in Kinsey's head, but are treated to traipses through the minds of the various suspects. I wasn't overly pleased with the resolution of the mystery -- the guilty party didn't make as much sense as a few other suspects, I didn't think, but it was still a fun read and didn't leave my head within 20 minutes of finishing the book.
