Desert Heat

De: J. A. Jance

Narrado por: Hillary Huber

A cop lies dying beneath the blistering Arizona sun—a local lawman who may well have become the next sheriff of Cochise County. The police brass claim that Andy Brady was dirty, and that his shooting was a suicide attempt. Joanna Brady, his devoted wife and mother of their nine-year-old daughter, knows a cover-up when she hears one . . . and murder when she sees it. But her determined efforts to hunt down an assassin and clear her husband's name are placing Joanna and her surviving family in harm's way—because in the desert, the one thing more lethal than a rattler's bite . . . is the truth.

INTERESTING BUT NOT SPECIAL

Since I was familiar with several of the Joanna Brady series, I enjoyed listening to the book that began the series. I enjoyed the book, but wouldn't want to listen to it a second time.

I love the Joanna Brady series thus far.

I like the family element of the series. In Desert Heat specifically, you have a woman who doesn't know how how strong she is until her inner strength is put to the test by the murder of her husband, leaving he a single parent. She's discovering who she can count on and to what extent.

Hooray for J.A. Jance

I liked the story and the characters. Can't wait to start the next book. The narrator was perfect.

Great Read

I liked the way the family managed the death of their loved one. I liked the way the aspirator died.

The wonderful relationship that was portrayed between Joanna and Jennifer.

This book is about love and courage. Even though it is a thriller at the heart of the story it also a love story too. JPF
