Publisher's summary

Sheriff Joanna Brady’s best intentions to stay on maternity leave take a hit when a serial homicide case rocks Cochise County, dragging her into a far-reaching investigation to bring down a relentless killer in this chilling tale of suspense from New York Times best-selling author J. A. Jance.

This time, Sheriff Joanna Brady may expect to see her maternity leave through to completion, but the world has other plans when a serial homicide case surfaces in her beloved Cochise County. Rather than staying home with her newborn and losing herself in the cold cases to be found in her father’s long-unread diaries, Joanna instead finds herself overseeing a complex investigation involving multiple jurisdictions.

Filled with the beloved characters, small-town charm, vivid history, intriguing mystery, and the scenic Arizona desert backdrop that have made the Joanna Brady series perennial best-sellers, this latest entry featuring the popular sheriff is sure to please J. A. Jance’s legion of fans.

Loved it!

This book had my attention from the first words. The characters were well developed and the narration was easy to listen to. I found myself stealing every minute I could to listen as I went through my day and staying up much later than I should have at night. I will be looking for more books by this author.

Another winner from JA Jance.

Thought provoking and so very hard to put down. Some of the Southern accents were a little cringe making, but narrator was very good. Thanks for a great story.

back story

I love her stories since I have lived in the areas.

my biggest issue is that her back stories on each character are far too long and detailed. back stories on main char ters, sure but every character. It gets very boring.

Field of Bones

This is a can’t set down book. The suspense will keep you going to the finish. J A Jance really put on a fictional story that can be taken from real life and a must read for all young people

Joanna's World

Field of Bones
(Joanna Brady #18)
by J.A. Jance

Joanna Brady is back. Baby Sage is almost due while her mommy is standing for re-election. This book is told from multiple points of view. While Joanna is on maternity leave, a serial killers dumping ground is found in Cochise County. Her department works the case with Joanna doing work behind the scenes. There is plenty of suspense.

We get to see familiar characters, but new deputies give a fresh feel. Old problems with gossip "news reporter" gossip Marliss Shackleford is back causing havoc.



The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Hillary Huber is Joanna Brady.

A Great Series

A Joanna Brady novel was the first book I read in the J.A. Jance series. I was so impressed by Jance’s writing skills that I read all this series and the other two series. Jance is a master storyteller.

In this book, Joanna Brady is up for election for her 3rd term as sheriff. In fact, she delivers a baby girl on election night. She won the election, but her maternity leave is cut short by a serial killer. There is a new character in this book, Deputy Sheriff Garth Raymond. There is a lot of back story telling to bring readers up to date about Raymond.

The book is well written. I am unhappy about the serial killer subject. I am so tired of this subject. It is great to visit with all the regular characters and a pleasant visit to Arizona. Jance does a great job working descriptions of the Arizona scenery into the story. I am looking forward to the next episode.

The book is ten hours and 48 minutes. Hillary Haber does an excellent job narrating the book. Haber is a voice-over artist and audiobook narrator. She is a multiple Earphone Award winner as well as a multiple Audie Award Finalist. Haber won the Audiofile Magazine’s “Best Voice in Biography and Culture” in 2010.
