Circle in the Water - Marcia Muller

 Circle in the Water - Marcia Muller

She  read

Years ago, I read the Sharon McCone mysteries regularly. She was one of the first fictional tough female PIs. Then school, work, life interfered and I got away from reading them.  It’s been a while since I picked one up and Sharon has come a long way from her first book in 1977 when she was a San Francisco PI, on staff at a legal cooperative.  She is married and in partnership with her husband, has her own agency with staff and resources, including a plane. There are 30+ books in the series. 

In this case, there has been vandalism on some of the privately owned streets (who knew some were privately owned?) in the city and Sharon has been hired to find the culprit. Her investigation puts her in danger as she doggedly pursues the truth  

Not a heart racing thriller, this is more a solid mystery procedural.  It is a fast read and taps into some of the present difficulties in SF with housing prices and homelessness. 

Thanks to @netgalley and #grandcentralpublishing for the DRC.
