S is for Silence

Author:     Sue Grafton

Category:     Fiction

Reviewer:     Jan Woodcock

Department/Position:     Library/Media
Summary:The daughter of a neglectful mother has been haunted by her mother's disappearance from a Fourth of July celebration when the daughter was only seven years old. Part of the intrigue from this case comes from Grafton's sensitive portrayal of the psychological consequences of neglect. Millhone doesn't have much hope for the case but starts digging. Grafton juxtaposes flashbacks to 1953, when the mother disappeared, with the current investigation, giving different points of view on the woman.

Recommended Audience:     Young Adult and Adult – The reader should be aware that there is some sexual content in this book.

Rating:     3
