S is for Silence

So this is possibly the best Sue Grafton book I've read so far. I've always like reading about cold cases that happened decades ago and are just getting solved now, with all the people involved older and memories to sort through and suspense and the whole shebang. So this one was really good to me.
Kinsey Millhone gets hired by a woman named Daisy Sullivan to help find her missing mother. The problem is, the mother, Violet Sullivan, has been missing since July 4th, 1953. So has her (at the time) brand new car. Kinsey takes the case against her better judgment and starts talking to everyone involved. She doesn't know where to start: all the men Violet had affairs with, the babysitter Violet used, Violet's formerly forever drunk husband, the man who sold Violet her new car, and many others. Almost everyone has a motive, and Kinsey finds out she's not safe even while searching in the past, some things just shouldn't be found. Someone else feels this way too, because they slash Kinsey's tires.
Here's the shocker: Kinsey finds Violet! Only Violet, and her car, and her little dog, have been buried on an old property and it looks like Violet died in that car, buried alive, July 4th, 1953. The case only gets juicier from here.
Also in this book, every third chapter or so is a chapter told from someone else's point of view, usually a suspect, and it takes place in 1953. Slowly we get the information Kinsey still needs to find.
This was a good mystery, and it kept me guessing right up until the end. I have renewed hope for reading A to Z Mysteries by Sue Grafton.
