Private Investigator Kinsey Millhone is hired by Daisy Sullivan. Daisy wants Kinsey to find her mother, Violet Sullivan. Violet disappeared thirty-four years ago when Daisy was a child. Daisy wants to know why she left. Did she run away with a boyfriend, or did someone kill her? Kinsey knows it is a long shot to find Violet after all of these years. She starts questioning people who were in contact with Violet on the last days before her disappearance. Many of them have nothing nice to say about her. Kinsey doesn't believe she is getting anywhere, until someone slashes her tires. Now she knows she has hit a nerve. This just makes her dig deeper.

It's been a long time since I read this series. I had forgotten that these books take a little while for me to get into. But, once I'm into the meat of the story, these books are hard to put down. There were a handful of suspects I kept jumping between. I did not guess the villain correctly. One thing I didn't like about this story was the flashbacks to 1953 that were told from the suspect's point-of-views. It almost felt like cheating since Kinsey did not have this information available to her. Still, it was a very good mystery. My rating: 4 Stars.
