Richard Jr.'s Reviews > Partner in Crime

I enjoyed the side stories that accompany author Jance's very interesting murder mystery and the personality descriptions and characters of Sheriff Joanna Brady and J. P. Beaumont, from two different worlds of law enforcement, who need to cooperate to solve a very complex murder of a Bisbee, Arizona artist. The personality clashes along with the character descriptions make the story. Right up to the final hundred pages, you won't know who ratted out the Washington State Witness Protection Program, who killed the three Arizona citizens and how Beaumont's former wife played a part in this whole story. The book deserves a good 4 stars, but I wasn't drawn into it so heavily as to have a two day binge on the 400 pages of the novel. J. A. Jance is an excellent author and story teller. I will go on to read some of her other murder/suspense novels. Enjoy!
