Book Description

June 10, 1993 Women's Press Crime
Private eye Sharon McCone takes on a routine surveillance as a favor to a long-time client of her employer, the All-Souls Law Co-operative. Soon, however, the routine case turns into a murder investigation and leads to San Francisco's upper-class social activists.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Muller's ( Eye of the Storm ) virtuosity is demonstrated again in her eighth Sharon McCone mystery. Though the single, 35-ish investigator for San Francisco's All Souls Law Cooperative suspects her client, custom shirtmaker Rudy Goldring, isn't being completely candid with her, she agrees to tail Frank Wilkonson, the manager of the Burning Oak Ranch, whose activities, Sharon learns, are confined to places and events connected with the horticulture world. At Goldring's apartment to deliver her report, she encounters a frantic woman fleeing the premises and the clothier's corpse. Searching for clues, Sharon finds a leather pouch belonging to a derelict Goldring has befriended, and the homeless man becomes the main suspect in the murder. Believing in his innocence, the sleuth turns her attention to Wilkonson and to locating the unidentified woman while coping with upheaval in her co-workers' personal lives. Sharon is a rarity in the genre: a multidimensional protagonist, who, with every book, grows as a person. This is a provocative work, infused with compassion and sensitivity, that explores the complexities of human relationships and the plight of the homeless.

5.0 out of 5 stars what a way to spend a Sunday, September 21, 2000
By A Customer
Frank Wilkonson spends his Sundays looking through all the horticulture spots in San Francisco. Who's he looking for? What's he looking for? That's what Sharon McCone has been hired to find out. Where her search leads her is what we find out. Sharon's friends have mysterious pasts, and she investigates thoroughly. If you enjoy intricate mystery plots, you'll love this one. Muller is a superb mystery writer with a superb knowledge of the California scene. Her descriptions are awesome. It's another McCone mystery.....and a great one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two Difficult and Selfish Husbands, July 12, 2002
By 
Peter Kenney (Birmingham, Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Marcia Muller is adept at describing relationships. In this book we meet at least two difficult and selfish husbands whose wives are coming apart with drugs or anger. THERE'S SOMETHING IN A SUNDAY is one of the better entries in the Sharon McCone series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Complex relationships, August 1, 2002
By 
Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Sharon McCone, a private investigator, is asked to follow Frank Wilkonson and report his activities to a man named Rudy Goldring. Instead of participating in illegal activities, as Sharon expects, Wilkonson visits various florist and garden outlets. As she delves into Wilkonson's past and present endeavors, she uncovers a complicated web of love and betrayal. Two murders occur and Sharon knows that she must find the perpetrator in order to prevent more killings from happening. This is a typical tightly-woven, well-written mystery from the creator of the female PI, Marcia Muller.
