De: J. A. Jance

Narrado por: Mike Ortego

New York Times bestselling author J. A. Jance returns with a new pulse-pounding suspense novel featuring beloved private investigator J. P. Beaumont as his investigation of a seemingly accidental death uncovers a complex web of evil.

Former Seattle homicide cop J. P. Beaumont faces trouble in the small town of Ashland, as both his personal and professional lives are thrown into turmoil. Beau’s daughter and son-in-law are having marital troubles, and his grandson, a senior in high school, shows up on his doorstep, wanting to live with Beau and his wife Mel as he finishes out the school year.

Meanwhile, a friend from his past asks for Beau’s help in looking into what appears to be an accidental death. A young man died of a fentanyl overdose, but those closest to him are convinced that he would never have used the drug, and that something much more sinister has happened. Beau agrees to unofficially reopen the case, and his investigation leads him to uncover similar mysterious deaths that all point to a most unlikely suspect.

As the case becomes more complicated than he could have imagined, and past and present mysteries collide, it will take everything Beau has to track down a dangerous vigilante killer. The result is an unforgettable read, and “newcomers and longtime series fans alike will be thrilled” (Publishers Weekly).

Three Thumbs Up! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Great story and twists and turns. The balance between personal drama in the main characters life, and the specific case he’s facing is balanced well. Love the PNW setting.

The inclusion of the grandson added an extra dimension to the story including JP learning new things.

Den of Inequity

Janice is one of my favorite authors and she keeps you interested until the very end, as always!

amazing page turner

This was the first book I have read by this author. it was a story that kept me up past by bedtime to read just one more chapter.
Now to go find the rest of the series....

Great Story

Loved the addition of JPs grandson. Such a nice and together young man. Loved how he hung out with the old folks

JP does it again

Even though he is retired, JP Beaumont just can't stay out of the crime solving business. Purely by accident he gets involved in a case that leads to a serial murderer targeting domestic violent crimes. JP uses his old contacts in the police departments to help him in bringing justice to those targeted by this serial killer who turns out to be someone no one would ever expect. Love the way he goes from one clue to another leading you to the conclusion and apprehension of the criminal. And we get to meet the newest Beaumont relative his grandson who is dealing with his own family problems.

How well crafted the story was: A led to B, then to C... etc.

Judy Jance never disappoints and JP Beaumont is my favorite of all her sundry characters.

very believable. holds interest

Quite a combination of characters and plot. the narrator was clear and sensed the characters.

Engaging and moves right along

Another Beaumont successful plot with intrigue. Love how J.A. Jance weaves together various spot-on professional scenarios with thoughtful and realistic interpersonal life situations. Refreshing to hear the masculine thought processes.
