Someone Always Knows

“The Night Searchers [has] the clean, classic moves of her earliest novels…[Muller] is never better than when she’s roaming the streets of the city she knows and loves so well.”–New York Times Book Review on The Night Searchers“A plot so imaginative that readers will have no choice but to sit down and settle in for an exciting read they will not forget…The action never slows down, as the two investigators and their employees find themselves dead center in the middle of a truly bizarre group of folks that the reader will never forget. This is a definite keeper!”–Suspense Magazine on The Night Searchers“Absorbing…McCone’s daring and smarts make her an irresistible heroine. The brisk narrative vividly evokes contemporary San Francisco.”–Publishers Weekly on The Night Searchers“Sharon McCone, the private investigator in Marcia Muller’s detective stories, solved her first case in 1977, so Muller is entitled to go crazy…She does something more daring by giving THE NIGHT SEARCHERS the clean, classic moves of her earliest novels. It’s refreshing to watch her revered sleuth personally handle the low-tech job of following a rich young couple around town…McCone uses that freedom to infiltrate a vaguely sinister group of treasure hunters who prowl the city by night, searching for clues in places like Alamo Square and Aquatic Park and the Maritime Museum down by the bay. It’s the perfect narrative structure for Muller, who is never better than when she’s roaming the streets of the city she knows and loves so well.”–New York Times Book Review on The Night Searchers
