4.0 out of 5 stars Sharon is called to the Tenderloin District, July 18, 2002
By Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Private Investigator Sharon McCone is called by a group of Vietnamese tenants who live in the so-called Tenderloin District of San Francisco. This is a very rough area, where new immigrants trying to make a go of it in their adopted country rub elbows with eccentrics and criminals. The group of people who are employing Sharon want her to find out who is playing tricks on them in their apartment building. There are strange noises in the basement, power failures, and shadows of "ghosts" on the walls. During the course of the investigation, Sharon develops real admiration for the Vietnamese and is chagrined when one of them is killed and another disappears. She pursues several dead ends before she finally figures out who is responsible for the murder and the other mischief. Muller consistantly writes good books in this series, and this one is no exception.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Mystery with a Message, May 21, 2000
By Janie "a little bird" (Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
As a fan of PI Sharon McCone I knew I would enjoy this book. I was surprised not only to be updated on Sharon's personal life (which keeps me hooked on this series) but to be touched as Marcia Muller calls to attention an important social issue. Her discussion of immigrant housing in the US contributes to an already intriguing mystery, while educating her readers. Thank you Marcia Muller! I'll definitely be back for more.

By Michele Prestage (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
I have read the first 6 or so books in this series and I have yet to be disappointed. Each book kept me entertained and wanting to get to the next one.
