From Publishers Weekly

Starred Review. After 25 books in 30 years, the novelty of a female private eye such as MWA Grand Master Muller's Sharon McCone has worn off, but McCone has only gained luster since her original appearance in Edwin of the Iron Shoes (1977). The San Francisco investigator is in top form as she unravels a case that may unravel her marriage. When Renshaw & Kessell International, a maverick corporate security firm dealing in contingency plans for kidnappings and hostage situations, hires McCone after a series of bombings has damaged its facilities, she starts by looking into the checkered pasts of the firm's co-owners. Readers may find the collateral damage that threatens to tear apart McCone's private life as involving as the search for the bomber, who soon moves from demolition to murder. Muller delivers the complete package, an absorbing mystery with a familiar and evolving cast and enough grit to give it satisfying substance. (July)

From Booklist

*Starred Review* Someone is bombing the offices and safe houses of REI, a security firm headquartered in San Francisco, and Hy Ripinksy, one of the partners in the firm, hires Sharon McCone to investigate. A shadowy figure, dubbed the ever-running man, has been seen leaving each location where there has been an explosion. When another device is detonated at REI's home office, a security guard dies, and McCone narrowly escapes. Her investigation leads to the discovery of corruption and other dark secrets in the past of the firm's partners—revelations that may jeopardize her marriage, but McCone continues to probe, convinced that both her own and her husband's lives are at stake. Relatively few long-running mystery series succeed in dramatizing a hero's subtle changes over time, as he or she moves from one phase of life to another, but Muller's Sharon McCone novels excel in this regard (as do her husband Bill Pronzini's Nameless Detective novels). The marital tensions, as well as the suspenseful plot and the scenic locations along the California coast, make this one a surefire hit with McCone's many fans.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Corrupt Mysteries Revealed and a Marriage Strained, Oct. 19 2007
This review is from: The Ever-Running Man (Hardcover)
If you have never read any books in the Sharon McCone series, do yourself a favor and don't start with this one . . . which reveals enough to spoil a lot of earlier books in the series for you. Start with Edwin of the Iron Shoes and work your way through them in order of publication. I envy you -- you have a great treat ahead of you.

Have you ever wondered why Sharon McCone's husband Hy is willing to be partners with the seemingly sleazy Gage Renshaw and Dan Kessell in the security firm of Renshaw & Kessell International? Hy claims has "come clean" on their joint backgrounds to Sharon, but has he really? The Ever-Running Man will answer a lot of questions in this regard and opens up the series for some fascinating future books.

Someone has been blowing up different offices of Renshaw & Kessell. While the firm is skilled in security, its own security seems to leave something to be desired. Hy talks his partners into hiring Sharon to find out who is doing it. Based on eyewitness accounts, there may be a link -- a man seen running away before some of the explosions. But it needs to be kept quiet . . . publicity of this sort could kill the business.

To keep some of the strain off their new marriage, Sharon insists that she work with one of the other two partners and chooses Renshaw as the lesser of two evils. Renshaw soon annoys her by making demands for frequent reports that she ignores.

Matters take a more serious turn, however, when the threat comes closer to home: Someone may be targeting the partners!

Sharon decides to treat the case like it came from a stranger . . . and check everyone out. That decision turns out to be a good idea when unsavory histories begin to emerge concerning Renshaw and Kessell that seem to taint Hy as well. Can their marriage survive the disclosures?

The bulk of the book is an investigative procedural where Sharon's willingness to break the law opens up doors that would otherwise remain closed. Her firm's capabilities serve her and her clients well . . . and gradually the motives and possible suspects become clearer. Sharon also gets more glimpses of the ever-running man than she would like.

Like the best of the Sharon McCone series, this book involves many of the ongoing characters in the series in ways that refer back to important episodes in earlier books. Those connections add depth for those who are long-time fans of the series.

My main complaint about the book is that it takes Sharon much too long to find out the key facts . . . and her reluctance to question Hy too closely is a bad decision that slows things down. This book could have been shortened up by 60 pages and made a lot better.

But it's a good read, one that no fan of the series will want to miss.

(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Ever-Running Man (Hardcover)
I have been a huge fan of the Marcia Muller series since it first came out. One of the main reasons I read mystery series is to see how the main characters develop. The main character of this series, Sharon Mcone, has grown and changed. She started off as an investigator in a legal coop and has grown to owing her own agency.

We also learn about her family. There are some very interesting stories here, in earlier novels, but which are alluded to here, especially when she discovers she has been adopted.

And now she is married to Hy Rapinsky, partner in a high powered private international security firm. This novel is about someone attacking his firm, RKI, and RKI hire McCone to find out who, what and why.

The investigation leads back to Hy's past, and creates problems for them, which adds a personal aspect to the investigation.

One of the aspects of these novels that I love is that McCone is not a loner PI but she uses her employees---her team--to help her. Each person is a specialist in a different aspect of investigation, and McCone knows how to utilize these skills.

It is through good old methodological investigation using all the resources available that finally lead to the denouement.

A great addition to a great series.
