S is for Silence

That was a great discussion we had last night regarding "S is for Silence" by Sue Grafton. And although you needed a scorecard for the cast of characters in the book, I think we finally got it all figured out. No one seemed satisfied with who the murderer was and some thought the ending an afterthought.

I've now started "Vanishing Point" and am not too surprised to see Sharon McCone beginning to investigate a mother's disappearance that happened years ago...sound familiar?
