Beyond the Grave

I'm a fan of Muller obviously. She's my most read author. This is from the new series written with her husband, a throwback to detectives from San Francisco before the turn of the century. In this one, a "modern" story parallels the old detective story. I use the term "modern" loosely. "Modern" is the mid-1980's. You get tastes of California history, San Francisco in the 1890's, a look at Latino culture, a generally good story and, of course, a good mystery.

Quincannon is still a lump in this book but Elena begins to improve in her character's role. Clearly this whole is not equal to the sum of its parts.
