Sylvia's Simple Shots

 

S is for Silence by Sue Grafton  Kinsey Millhone handles a very old cold case.

On July 4, 1953, Victoria Sullivan vanished without a trace and was never heard from again. Her abusive husband lived under the shadow of suspicion, and her then seven-year-old daughter, Daisy, has lived with the questions about what happened to her mother and why. And so, thirty-four years later, she hires PI Kinsey Millhone to try to finally solve this mystery. Kinsey is reluctant to take on the case.

The story line runs between 1953 and 1987 in Kinsey time.  Many secrets are unearthed during the investigation and the final villain was not who I expected.

Another great read from Sue Grafton.
