Amazon.co.uk Review
Sharon McCone is used to solving problems. She has been doing it for over 20 years in the USA in Marcia Muller's pioneering and acclaimed series about the San Francisco PI. And thanks to her extended and occasionally dysfunctional family, she is no stranger to the consequences of revealing the occasional skeleton in the closet. But her latest case is both personal and deeply devastating. After her father dies, Sharon discovers documents that have been hidden for her entire life and they launch her on a voyage of self-discovery. Intent on exploring her own past, Sharon travels from a Shoshone Indian reservation in Montana to a ghost town in northern California. Far from resolving painful issues of loss and identity, the discovery of a woman named Saskia Blackhawk serves only to embroil the California PI in a larger story of deceit--and murder. Listen to the Silence is an intense novel which plunges into deeply unsettling territory, a novel in which what goes unsaid is just as important as the words spoken out loud. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: her books get better and better, can't wait for the next one, 21 Jan 2001 By  Jane Shepherd (thealgernontrust@ntlworld.com) (Northants, England) - See all my reviews This review is from: Listen to the Silence (A Sharon McCone Mystery) (Paperback) loved this plot; really enjoy her easy style of writing and the way she takes you to various locations within and beyond California. I discovered Marcia Muller last year courtesy of Amazon and have now read all but a couple of unobtainable titles - it's going to be really hard waiting until her next Sharon McCone instalment comes out. Such an interesting central character, particularly like the Shoshone element, which makes Listen to the Silence essential reading for all McCone fans. Love all the ongoing characters too.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

This book was gripping from the outset. Muller has seemingly endless empathy for her character -PI Sharon Mahone, who spends her working life revealing the secrets of other people's lives. She writes in away that draws you in, holds you tight thru twists and turns of the plot, like a verbal and emotional rollercoster, you don't want to end.It was so good I had to take a day of work as i could not put it down, for almost 2 days it was as if i had an extra limb!. The charactersare so well described that you feel you know them, their emotions laid bare by the authors pen. Old famiy secrets come out of the closet, despite a web of personal agendas trying to prevent their escape. 'Listen to the silence' was the best advice sharon had when seeking the true, often it's what people stop short of saying that gives the greatest clue, I believe anyone reading this book would find it impossible to say it was ,dull,boring poorly written or not enjoyable!! so come on spoil youslf .. get the book, and prepare to be entertained.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
