The investigation of LaShawn Tompkins's murder seemed straightforward enough. Upon his release from death row, the ex-drug-dealer returned to his old neighborhood where he was gunned down on his mother's doorstep. Just another case of turf warfare. At least that's what it looks like on the surface to Seattle investigator J. P. Beaumont, who's been handed the assignment under the strictest confidence.

At first glance, the video appears to be showing a childish game: a teenage girl with dark wavy hair smiles for the camera, a blue scarf tied around her neck. All of a sudden things turn murderous, and the girl ends up dead. It’s as bad as a snuff film can get, and what’s worse, the clip has been discovered on a phone that belongs to the grandson of Washington State’s governor. However, the boy, who has a troubled background, swears that he’s never seen the victim before.

J. P. Beaumont is finally taking some time off to have knee-replacement surgery. But instead of taking his mind off work, the operation plunges him into one of the most perplexing and mind-blowing mysteries he's ever faced. A series of dreams takes him back to his early days on the force with the Seattle PD. When tugging on those threads from long ago leads to present-day murders, Beau's suspicions are confirmed. Some bodies from the second watch just won't stay buried.

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.

Definately a more perfect book!
This is definitely a good listen. Fast paced and there are more twists and turns than your best roller coaster. If you want a book to take your mind off that long drive to the office or grandma’s house, this will fill the bill.

J P Does it again!
Where does A More Perfect Union rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
While some are better the others, the JP Beaumont series has to rank in my top 100 listens. I particularly enjoyed this one. If you're feeling like an easy laid back listen that is entertaining with a bit of mystery, suspense to and sex to give it just enough spice then this series is for you. I usually have a JP Beaumont, in between my other reads to clean and refresh my palate. Just keep coming JP.........
Who was your favorite character and why?
No other than JP himself. He's so laconic. I'm a bit concerned about the enlarged liver, though! Does this means he has to give up drinking soon?
Have you listened to any of Gene Engene’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Gene is JP. I could not imagine anyone else attempting JP.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Pretty well. I think I only had one break.
Any additional comments?
J A Jance, keep them coming forever. I'll never tire of JP Beaumont.

Other voices
The narrator's main voice was OK but the secondary voices were horrible.
The story seems to be set more towards the 70+ crowd. My 73 year old mom said she really liked the book. We have always liked the same thriller and who did it stories. This one seems to be a generation apart. Won't listen to that narrator again. Will look at other authors
