Blurb (from jacket): "Thirty-four years ago, Violet Sullican put on her party finery and left for the annual Fourth of July fireworks display. She was never seen again.
"In the smaill California town of Serena Station, tongues wagged. Soem 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, thirty-four years later, she wants the solace of closure."
Opinion: As a fan of Ms. Grafton's work, S is for Silence fits the bill with the rest of the Alphabet Series. I really enjoyed how Ms. Grafton changed her writing format a little bit with having several chapters focus on individual characters in the time of Violet's disappearance. The mystery remains a mystery until the end-a big bonus. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
