From Booklist
A distraught father visits private investigator Patience Mackellar's office in Port Silva, California, seeking to find his missing family. This is the fifth mystery in LaPierre's Port Silva series, in which the characters change but the place remains the same. It's a well-paced story with a difficult-to-solve mystery at its core. LaPierre's portrayal of Port Silva, a fictional community near Mendocino, gets the feel of northern California just right, not only in the descriptions of the rugged coastline and dense woods but also in the people and plotline, which involves a New Ageish religious community. The book's strong female characters and northern California setting will appeal to fans of series by Marcia Muller and Susan Dunlap. This is a solid series that deserves more attention. John Rowen
