Publisher's Summary

Thirty-four years ago, Violet Sullivan put on her party finery and left for the annual Fourth of July fireworks display. She was never seen again.

In the small California town of Serena Station, tongues wagged. Some said she'd run off with a lover. Some said she was murdered by her husband.

But for the not-quite-seven-year-old daughter Daisy she left behind, Violet's absence has never been explained or forgotten.

Now, 34 years later, she wants the solace of closure.

one of Sue's best

the ending left me wanting a little more to understand the how and why the reasons the killer had.

Great story. Disappointing ending

One of my favourite stories but the ending was a disappointment. It felt almost as if something came up and Grafton had to wrap it up a chapter or two before she meant to. I know what I would like to say is missing but dont want to spoil it for others. I will say that I was fully engaged and thoroughly enjoying until the end. Not disappointed in the reveal. Just that the style of playing out the story took a sharp turn and the closure came to such an abrupt halt. Well worth the read though for her fans...and I am one!
