Someone Always Knows by Marcia Muller ***

SomeoneAlways Knows by Marcia Muller is a PI procedural, #31 in the series. It reminded me of the cliched family holiday where the same stories are repeatedly retold. For my taste, too much of the book flashed back to past incidents. With thirty prior books, there was plenty of material, maybe too much.

The story opened with the resurfacing of the presumed dead Gage Renshaw. Renshaw is from Sharon McCone’s husband’s (Hy Ripinsky) wild days during the Vietnam War. Gage is an unsavory character and Sharon set’s out to find who he is and what he wants. Without any plot twists or surprises, she eventually figures it out.

If you are a PI Sharon McCone fan, here is another of her adventures with plenty of references to her past adventures. If you’ve never heard of her, this might not be the best place to start.
