Beau is assigned as technical adviser for a movie set and he is bored to tears, well maybe not tears, but close. Then a body floats up to the dock they are ready to film on. Everyone...except Beau...believes he is a suicide or accidental death. Next, on the front page of the newspaper is the picture of a young female ironworker falling to her death from the top of an unfinished skyscraper. Then it clicks for Beau who remembers the floating body had a belt buckle that said "ironworker"... hmmmm c...more
While working as an advisor for the Seattle Police Department on a movie set, Detective J. P. Beaumont becomes involved in finding a body on the set. The murder is handed over to two other police detectives due to the fact that Beaumont is already assigned to the movie to make sure that the movie doesn't make the Seattle Police look too foolish. Of course that doesn't keep him from doing his own investigating, much to the chagrin of his Sergeant. Another fun Beaumont novel.

Good story. Lots of action and then the end came very quickly. Liked the main character but would have liked to know more about his background. Also the fact he drank a little too much did not add anything to the story. Quick read. Will read more by this author.
good.. at times i begin to think that J.P. Beaumont is just really lazy and doesn't care about things, but then he's also really caring towards victums and stuff. this series always keeps me reading to find out more. this story had a few too many names of the bad guys/victims to keep track of.
A good yarn to read on a rainy afternoon, interesting characters, but nothing too earth shattering, I actually thought Beaumont was a woman, and thought this to be a lesbian story, well that is not the case
J.A. Jance is my favorite mystery author, and she didn't let me down with this novel. J.P Beaumont is supposed to be on vacation, but just can't stay out of all the detective action.
One of the better entries in the J.P. Beaumont series. This is a quick, easy and fun book to read. J.P. helps bring some crooked labor leaders to justice. Recommended!
Beau meets his Seattle PD nemesis (and future boss) Paul Kramer over a floater while on temporary assignment as police liaison to a movie company. Sparks fly.
I really didn't like the storyline in this book. I love the series so I'm gonna keep moving but this one wasn't that good at all.
Beaumont is on vacation and still gets caught up in solving a homicide. People dying at the local Ironworkers union. 2 1/2 stars
Great book by a great author. I love her writing and anyone buying her books needs to look at her website and read the books in order.
J.P. Beaumont is back in this quick and easy to read little mystery. As all her books so far- they are enjoyable.
Nitty-gritty police procedural. Jance creates a very plausible plot and provides an entertaining read.
Book #14 read in 2013
This book was a little slow to start. However, I really like the characters, flaws and all. Good read!

Beaumont works with a movie company and works to solve a murder of a union worker who fell off the building.
Good Book! I love JA Jance and the JP Beaumont series is no exception.
I really like J.P. Beaumont :). This was another winner in the series.
Not one of the best, but still good listening during boring tasks!
Good solid foundational work in the founding of the country.
Easy reading detective story set in Seattle.
