Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

After the travails of The Ever-Running Man (2007), Sharon McCone retreats to her high desert ranch near Yosemite in MWA Grand Master Muller's fine 26th novel to feature the San Francisco PI. Depressed, bored and uncertain about her future in a dangerous business, McCone is unwittingly drawn into a local case—the murder of Hayley Perez, the estranged niece of ranch manager Ramon Perez, and the disappearance of Hayley's teenage sister, Amy, and their alcoholic mother, Miri. As she looks into the Perezes' relationships, McCone uncovers secrets that hint at more than simply family dysfunction. Two more murders and a suicide add to the confusion, which McCone can only untangle, with the help of her husband and her Shoshone birth relatives, by tracing the victims' complex past. By the upbeat ending, McCone has learned that with judicious use of both her investigative and executive skills she can reshape her life. (Oct.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Marcia Muller Simplifies Her Story-Telling Task and Unleashes a Raft of New Characters in This Busman's Vacation, Jul 6 2009
This review is from: Burn Out (Hardcover)

"Out of his mouth go burning torches:
Sparks of fire leap forth." -- Job 41:19

Burn Out opens with Sharon McCone at a low ebb, feeling overwhelmed by the dangers that threatened Hy and she in The Ever-Running Man. She withdraws to Hy's ranch in the Sierra Nevada's to get her head together.

While there, new challenges, including a supposedly friendly horse who isn't always, a young woman with a haunted look on her face, and more corpses than you can shake a stick at, refocus Sharon's energies on finding the murderer and the missing girl. Along the way, she encounters some pretty evil and corrupt people and her own demons. Strangely, the case revives her in a way that she doesn't expect. In the process, she comes to terms with her future.

One of my complaints about this series has been that Marcia Muller has introduced so many continuing characters that it's hard to fit them all into a story. When I saw that Sharon McCone wasn't going to interact much with her detective agency, I just assumed that would cut down the number of characters.

Wrong! Marcia Muller worked in all the usual characters and added a raft of new characters that appear just to make this story work. It's a virtuoso performance that few other than Marcia Muller could pull off with such aplomb.

As a result, Burn Out provides an entertaining police procedural, a great character study, lots of interesting issues about confidentiality and responsibility, and plenty of adventure. It's a fine ride and I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

Giddy up!
