Book Reviews of S is for Silence (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries)
Book Review: A good read but not a good mystery
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good read masquerading as a mystery. As a whodunit it is somewhat languid and lackluster with the usual red herrings that don't add up to much and an arbitrary ending. What it is though is an absorbing study of a wanton and destructive woman in small town California in the 1950's and her horrible comeuppance. The novel switches between Kinsey's voice in the present day and the background told from many points of view in the 50's. The intertwined lives, the pettiness and passions of small town lives are rendered very well. Forget the ho hum mystery. Enjoy it for what it really is. Just as Ruth Rendell of Wexford fame switched over to Barbara Vine to write the brilliant "A Dark Adapted Eye" Sue Grafton is spreading her wings and I for one look forward to more.
