Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Violet Sullivan is an extremely attractive woman, but married to a violent guy. Both her husband and herself often hang out at the Blue Moon and have a drink too much. One day Violet disappears and is never seen again. Foley, her husband, is suspected of having killed her, but he persists in saying he didn't do any wrong and she simply ran off. No proof can ever be produced to backup one or the other story.
Thirtyfour years after the disappearance of Violet Sullivan, her daughter Daisy hires the private investigator Kinsey Millhone to have, against all odds, a look into the matter once more. She wants to find out whether her mother was murdered or ran off without ever bothering about her own daughter.
A medicore story which, I think, could have done without another death at the very end of the book.
