Publisher Description

For a Nevada wedding, the nuptials between Sharon McCone and sexy fellow investigator Hy Ripinsky are downright tasteful: no Elvis impersonators, no plastic flowers, no embarrassing last-minute bailout by a bride well known for her phobia to commitment. This time, McCone has displayed the smarts she uses in her successful detective firm and chosen a guy who respects her as a professional and shares her passions. But living together in her beloved little house on Church Street may be another matter entirely, especially when Hy suggests they need a bigger place.

The looming crisis of who will compromise first is delayed when Hy heads out of town on business and McCone dives into one of her most baffling cases yet - the disappearance of Laurel Greenwood, who vanished 22 years before without a trace. Laurel's grown-up daughter is desperately seeking closure and wants McCone to find out the fate of the young mother and artist who never returned from a day of landscape painting in a Central California coastal town.

The case is cold, and the evidence McCone begins uncovering is chilling. Secrets kept for two decades now emerge to create a portrait of a woman who's perfect on the surface and anything but a paragon beneath it. And when someone takes potshots at McCone to scare her into dropping her inquiries, the detective's resolve hardens. She intends to uncover the truth - the whole truth - even when it awakens her suspicions that the bonds of marriage can easily become chains, and that escaping them may lead to desperate acts...or murderous ones.

"The latest episode in one of my favourite series; I'm a fan, look elsewhere if you want criticism (even the constructive kind). This is classic McCone, as good as ever. This time she's looking into the over twenty year old disappearance of a young mother; one of her now grown up children wants the case settled. There's enough of the regular characters (now an enormous cast) but not too much, and plenty enough of a mystery, not too overloaded with twists, not too simple. Perfect as far as I'm concerned. Plenty more please Marcia!"

    " The writing and story were good, I just found the pay off less than satisfying. "

    " It was good getting back to San Francisco where this series takes place. Sharon McCone is a private investigator, who pilots her own Cessana and runs an agency. I have enjoyed these books since I began many years ago. It has been a while since I picked one up, but I did to escape the stress of my life. I wanted to lose myself in this one. And since I was traveling to my old home state/neighborhood so to speak, I decided it would be a good fit. Slow at times, plodding at times, it was not the best of the series. But I enjoyed coming back to some familiar characters and places none the less. "

    " I never get tired of the delicious Sharon McCone. Per usual I won't describe the plot, except to say this is a bit of a departure in terms of style and tone, but nevertheless a treat for McCone enthusiasts. "

    " I enjoyed the book but was a little disappointed as I expected it to be better than it was. Maybe I didn't like the ending. "

    " There were quite a few extra people at the start of this audiobook which made it hard to keep track of who was important to begin with but once I was more into the story of a cold case missing person and the hunt to find out what had happened to her it kept me guessing. "

    " Sharon McCone has married her long time love, Hy Lipinski. While he continues his business, she begins an investigation into a mother missing for more than 20 years. Family secrets abound and she digs them out. "

    " Muller's writing is predictably good, plot only marginally unrealistic, twists not overly predeictable. As with all procedurals, read fast - they're like really good potato chips. "

    " Sharon McCone has changed over the course of this series, but not in a negative way--she has maintained her ties with those who helped her out in the beginning, and as she has aged, there have been more complications in her life, as you would expect. Good series well worth reading "

    " Just another detective mystery to me...sorry. The plot was OK, but it seemed too simple to solve the dilemma. "
