About this product

Product Information

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.

4 Stars...leaning toward 5 for Grafton's newest outing!
It's been too long since I was really excited about a Sue Grafton novel. Way too long since I was 2/3 of the way through and just had to finish it, no matter what other use I was supposed to be making of my time. In previous novels I've felt that Grafton had her heroine, private detective Kinsey Millhone, stuck in a rut she would never break free of. I didn't think she'd let Kinsey grow, similar to what other authors HAVE done for their female detectives. This book is different. Grafton employs a couple of strategies that are oft used in mysteries today, the concept of the protagonist taking on a "cold case" (which Kinsey has done before) and the use of a flashback...and the type of flashback that has a new chapter simply taking place in the past, making the cold case characters come alive as Kinsey investigates the in "the future". Grafton's future, the timeframe where she sets Kinsey, is 1987, and the disappearance she is tracking occurred in 1953. 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! And although, true to form, when Grafton reveals, she shuts down the novel with very little afterplay, well, this book still gave life to what was a dying series. Kudos to Grafton for reviving her heroine and giving us a great read!Read full review

S Is for Silence
S Is for Silence is the 19th book in the Kinsey Milhone series by Sue Grafton. I am an avid Sue Grafton fan, having read all of the series A through the present S. I have even "named" some of the present and future books, although Sue has not always agreed with my choice of titles. I did not think this book was as good as some of the previous books. However; I would still take a Sue Grafton/Kinsey Milhone book over any other mystery. In this book, Kinsey investigates the disapperance of a young mother at the bequest of that woman's daughter. The book is written in a different style than the other Kinsey books. Many chapters are flashbacks detailing the lives and actions of various characters and do not involve Kinsey at all. Kinsey does not have any dealings with her own family in this book, nor does she have much of a love life. While reading this book I kept wondering if Sue Grafton was getting tired of Kinsey. Putting myself in the author's place, I think it might get tiresome having to think up situations to place Kinsey in for 19 times. In my mind, Kinsey can always be about 34 years old, cut her hair with nail scissors and not own more than one decent dress. But that is me. I brought this book when it first came out because I always buy the next book in this series as soon as I can. I have already sold this book on half.com so my reasons for writing this review are purely altruistic. I would recommend that you buy this book. If you are a Kinsey fan you will have to. If you are new to the series, buy it anyway. It is not, in my opinion, the best of the series, but I am sure it is good enough to get you started. In the meantime, I think T should be for Tariff.

sue grafton s is for silence kinsey millhone 1940's gumshoe dect in 1980's
flap says: 34 years ago, violet sullivan put on her party finery and left fo trhe annual 4th ofjuly fireworks display and she was never seena gain. in the small california town of serena station toungues 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, her absence has never been explained or forgotten. now 34 years later, she was the solace of closure. ok, this book started off being too similiar to Q, then i would have liked, this was different in that some of the chapters were told by the people way back in 1953. and we learn some of the secrets people were keeping. i'm still hoping kinsey gets a cell phone or a computer one of these days, and i wish she didn't go into situations at the end of the book alone. it would help to have backup occassionally.Read full review

She is my new FAVORITE author
In January I discovered Sue Grafton's book entitled X. I thoroughly enjoyed it and proceeded to read all the novels our library had. Then I checked eBay for the missing Alphabet series. After I share the 6 purchased books from eBay, I will donate them to the library.

A Departure for Grafton & Kinsey - But A Good One!
I've loved Sue Grafton's alphabet series and her detective Kinsey Milhone since the beginning. It took me awhile to get around to reading this book but it ended up making me anxious for "T". Sue Grafton departs from her usual style here and has Kinsey working on a "cold case". I think the book is so popular now because those TV shows are so popular now...but I digress. Kinsey is working on a case that is more than 30 years old, in this story. There are lots of flashbacks to the 1950s for the characters involved. Grafton weaves these flashbacks in very well. You never feel lost from going between present and past. The story flows and it's very good. As usual, Sue leaves some loose ends hanging but, then, her usual readers are used to that! Also, if you're really into hearing about Henry, and Rosie, and the usual "gang" you won't get anything but a scant mention here, in another departure from Grafton's typical style. If you're up for a great read and you don't mind a little change - but not too much - from what Sue Grafton typically writes in this series, you'll love this book.Read full review
