Muller like most other authors improves her craft with every book. They just keep getting better and better. Its easy reading but not so easy to be maudelin.

I have read the entire Sharon McCone series. Marcia Muller is an excellent mystery writer. I would suggest you start with the first book and read as they were written. It is an excellent series.

From back of book:

Now that private investigator Sharon McCone has struck out on her own, she needs all the clients she can get--even a shady character from her Berkeley days. T. J. "Suitcase" Gordon's made millions as a "turaround man." a corporate troubleshooter who creates profits and enemies, while reviving failed businesses. From the moment he whisks McCone off in his private helicopter, complaining of death threats and sabotage, her life will never be the same.

After McCone saves Gordon from a deadly explosion, he performs another kind of turnaround: he vanishes. The trail of Gordon's hidden past leads McCone from a thriving Nevada tourist trap to a grim Pennsylvania steel town. In the shadows of empty mills, she finds that the threats against Gordon are also aimed at her. McCone is desperate to find him--before a deadly confrontation with his California dreams blows them both out of the sky.
