Proof of Life

A J. P. Beaumont Novel

De: J. A. Jance

Narrado por: Alan Sklar

J. P. Beaumont's latest investigation strikes too close to home in this riveting mystery from New York Times best-selling author J. A. Jance.

Be careful what you wish for....

Before he retired, J. P. Beaumont had looked forward to having his days all to himself. But too much free time doesn't suit a man used to brushing close to danger. When his longtime nemesis, retired Seattle crime reporter Maxwell Cole, dies in what's officially deemed to be an accidental fire, Beau is astonished to be dragged into the investigation at the request of none other than the deceased victim himself. In the process, Beau learns that just because a long-ago case was solved doesn't mean it's over.

Caught up in a situation where old actions and grudges can hold dangerous consequences in the present, Beau is forced to operate outside the familiar world of law enforcement. While seeking justice for his frenemy and healing for a long fractured family, he comes face to face with an implacable enemy who has spent decades hiding in plain sight.

Great

Great as always. J.A. almost never disappoints. Interesting and satiisflying. Great that a woman author could write about a man in law enforcement.

Good story. Vocal performance so so.

The story was a typically good JA Jance. Good plot, good twists. Vocal performance was quite annoying in that emphasis would be placed on the wrong word in a sentence as if the performer was reading it cold. He used a somewhat sarcastic sing-song voice for the main character and at times it would bleed over to the other characters as well. Then at one point in the middle of the book he read it all straight, no sarcasm or sing song, for several chapters. I was beginning to wonder if they had changed performers and then all of a sudden the sarcasm was back. Weird. I have read approximately 15 of the JP Beaumont series so I guess I have a firm idea of his voice in my head and sarcastic sing song is not it.

very good book

it's a good book - with a good narrator
I recommend it.
Really like J A Jance

Miss Eugene's narration.

The narrator was not necessarily bad but just changed Beau's personality from a grizzled detective to a almost whiny one.

The Best Yet

As always the J P Beaumont stories continue to be riveting. Always am sad to have them end! Very well written AND narrated.

Awesome book and storyline.

We loved listening to this book and look forward to the next JA Jance book!

Sleepy approach but exciting result

The tone of the book and the actor reading at our casual, but the story is self is compelling and warm. I recommend this book.

Always a great story

J. A. Jance is a great writer and I love reading her books. I like the storyteller also.

The narrator suits the book very well

The story lines are very fine, but the narrator just makes it come alive…very nice combo. Will read more…I have to find more of their relationship with Lucy! …and the new baby!

characters were well developed

There were too many characters to keep track of at some points in the book.
