4.0 out of 5 stars Sharon is called to the Tenderloin District, July 19 2002
By Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: There's Nothing to Be Afraid of (Mass Market Paperback)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars a good mystery, Dec 27 2001
By Elizabeth Cobbe (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: There's Nothing to Be Afraid of (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is a fun, quick read in a fascinating and well-portrayed setting. Having spent some time near the location of this book (San Francisco's Tenderloin district), I give Marcia Muller full credit for knowing her environment. What's more, she takes that a step further and, along with protagonist PI Sharon McCone, explores the dark realities of immigration issues in this city and others.

This is definitely a formula mystery-- I finished it off in a couple days-- but it's a good one. Whenever the desire for a little light reading comes along again, I'm sure I'll return for more of Marcia Muller's novels.

By Michele Prestage (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: There's Nothing to Be Afraid of (Mass Market Paperback)
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.
