S Is for Silence by Sue Grafton

S is for silence: the silence of the lost, the silence of the missing, the silence of oblivion.
Thirty-four years ago, Violet Sullivan put on her party finery and left for the annual Fourth of July fireworks display. She was never seen again.
In the small California town of Serena Station, tongues wagged. Some 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.
In S is for Silence, Kinsey Millhone's nineteenth excursion into the world of suspense and misadventure, S is for surprises as Sue Grafton takes a whole new approach to telling the tale. And S is for superb: Kinsey and Grafton at their best.

Sue Grafton debuted in the mystery genre with the release of 'A' Is for Alibi in 1982, which introduced Kinsey Millhone, a female hard-boiled private investigator based in the fictional town of Santa Teresa (or Santa Barbara) California. In 1995, 'B' is for Burglar was released, and the 'alphabet' mystery series, also known as 'the alphabet' mysteries, is still going strong. She's also written several Kinsey Millhone short tales, and she and her husband, Steven Humphrey, wrote several television movies, including A Killer in the Family (with Robert Mitchum), Love on the Run (starring Alec Baldwin and Stephanie Zimbalist), and two Agatha Christie adaptations, Sparkling Cyanide and Caribbean Mystery (both starring Helen Hayes). Grafton is available in 26 languages and 28 countries. She adores pets, gardens, and delicious food. Sue lives in both Montecito, California, and Louisville, Kentucky, where she was born and reared.
