S is for Silence by Sue Grafton
5.0

My first Sue Grafton book. Definitely not the last.I loved the way it contrasts to male writers mystery books. There aren't real gross scenes or detailed description of how the crime took place, yet the suspense was there.
It described the results of beauty and poverty combination. As well as greed. I liked the way each character was given a chapter to convince us of his being a suspect, while giving an insight to his life and motives.
It was easy to imagine and live the era of the novel, and actually sympathize with Violet inspite of her actions.
This book introduced me to a new author, and I enjoyed it so much that I was encouraged to by the next one in the series, which didn't turn out as much fun.
