There’s Something in a Sunday by Marcia Muller
Review by Matt B. (BuffaloSavage)
After a friend of her boss is murdered, female PI Sharon McCone finds herself drawn into a case that takes her to a ranch, a mansion, and skid row, all of which have well-conveyed atmosphere. Another strength is in the believable characters, from homeless people to hypocritical yuppies to friends on the way to becoming alcoholics. I hope I do not make this outstanding mystery sound like a downer, because it’s not. McCone mysteries end on an upbeat note, leaving the reader looking forward to the next one. Readers into old-school Seventies mysteries can’t go wrong with Marcia Muller.
