amalyndb's review against another edition

A missing live-in lover of a friend, and then the death of that friend send Sharon and Hy on a search into the past for answers. Corruption, friends in high places, and a witness on the run - a plot spanning a decade and more that was captivating to get caught up in.

Not every book in this series is a home run for me and this entry falls in that category. While I enjoyed the actual mystery as well as further peeks into Sharon McCone’s family and her relationship with Hy, I found all descriptions of planes and flying to be too much for my liking. I’m a nervous flyer as it is so reading all of the details included in this book made me a little on edge (and I wasn’t even reading this on a plane!).
Overall, a solid mystery but not a standout for me.

A solid entry in the McCone canon, filled with the author's obvious enthusiasm for and experience with flying light planes. It's also notable for how well Muller pulls off Minnesota wilderness deep freeze; she's known for her obsessive attention to detail in making San Francisco come to life, and it translates admirably.
The background noise of McCone's family is an unfortunate distraction, but that's pretty true of everyone's lives; I just don't care for the plotline overmuch, and hoo boy, some accurate-ass California 90s parenting on display, with the shrugging I'm-sure-they'll-be-fine-and-anyway-what-about-meeeee aspect that is its distinctive hallmark. Good twisty plot, though.
