But PI Kinsey Millhone has promised the now adult Daisy she'll try her best to locate Violet, dead or alive. All signs point to a runaway wife—the clothes that disappeared; the secret stash of money Violet bragged about; the brazen flirtations she indulged in with local men, including some married ones.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nKinsey tries to pick up a trail by speaking to those who remember Violet—and perhaps were more involved in her life than they let on. But the trail could lead her somewhere very dangerous. Because the case may have gone cold, but some people's feelings about Violet Sullivan still run as hot as ever...\u003cbr\u003e\n      Review      \u003cbr\u003e\nPraise for S is for Silence\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“One of her best.”—\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Washington Post Book World\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“The freshest, tautest installment in quite a while...\u003cbr\u003e\nS is for Silence gets it right.”—\u003cbr\u003e\nEntertainment Weekly\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“One of the darkest and most complex of her stories.”—\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Miami Herald“Strong character portrayals...and a stunning climax.”—\u003cbr\u003e\nBooklist\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“Millhone’s complexity is mirrored by the novels that document her cases: books that nestle comfortable within the mystery genre even as they prod and push its contours.”—\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Wall Street Journal\u003cbr\u003e\nMore Praise for Sue Grafton and the Alphabet Series\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“I’m going to miss Kinsey Millhone.
