Ginnie S. (gratefulgrama) reviewed The Night Searchers (Sharon McCone, Bk 30) on + 9 more book reviews
Another fast-moving adventure with Sharon McCone and her husband, Hy Ripinski (or RApinski, per the book jacket?). Sharon is center stage with this one; Hy is mostly out of town and out of the picture, although their cases relate to one another. The story takes place over a two-week period of time.
Sharon's old friend, Glenn Solomon, referred Camilla and Jay Givens to her to investigate very strange things Camilla reported having seen, including infant sacrifice. Both Sharon and Glenn found Camilla to be "scary". The events she reported seemed to be happening more frequently and there appeared to be nothing tangible to support them.
In the meantime, Hy is tied up in a high-level hostage negotiation in a distant but undisclosed location. Little by little ties between the two cases emerge and Hy is in phone contact for part of the book.
The McCone-Ripinski team discovered a group called the Night Searchers, an urban treasure hunting group. Initially the group appeared to be innocuous, a bunch of bored adults who played children's games after dark around San Francisco. Gradually, however, a much more nefarious side of the group emerged, enough to indicate that anyone interested in the group's activities should be very wary.
Muller's novels are always good reads. There's suspense, enough humor to be enjoyable, a tiny touch of romance, and a cast of interesting characters. This volume is no exception, fun and light reading, despite the misdeeds of the Night Searchers.
