I like Ms. Jance's mysteries as they are entertaining, keep one guessing and aren't full of offensive material. This one is from her series featuring Seattle detective J. P. Beaumont. Since I live in western Washington this also adds to the interest. I feel that this is one of the best in the series.

I've read most of her books about JP Beaumont and enjoyed them all. She has you come back for the next installment as her character moves through life and changes his perspective. This one not only solves the crime but also has Beau dealing with his alcohol consumption. A good read!

Well structured tale. Enjoyable. I would have deleted the last sentence, however, and ended with the one before. We can draw our own conclusions and “gratitude” is much stronger than “him”.

Poor old J.P. busted fingers he doesn't remember how he did it. Chasing the bad guys and finding out he has to quit drinking.

Another great book. Hard to imagine that Beaumont is going to quit drinking. Will be interesting to read later books.

this one really kept my attention. the mystery was a good one, and it had enough of a personal story (that goes from book to book) to really keep me interested. although, J.P. Beamount without McNaughton's?! that will be interesting!

One of the better JA Jance mysteries with JP Beaumont. After reading some YA fiction, this was very satisfying. She is a great writer.
