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.

The Great Sheriff Brady’s Team VS a Serial Killer

This series is getting a little long in the tooth. However, the stories are still good as is the character development. The addition of new characters help rejuvenate the series. There are a few moments in this entry where you have to really question the intelligence of a few of the characters. That’s why I couldn’t rate it solid 5s . I really enjoy this series, but as with so many of them, you have to eventually say goodbye.

Some people have stated that they don’t care for Huber as the narrator. I think she nails it every time.

Great story

Feel like I can always depend on J.A.Jance and love Sheriff Joanna Brady. Stories are very realistic and I learn a lot about the Sourthwest.

finally a new book in this series

I always wait for the next Joanna Brady book to come out. I was slightly disappointed in this one partially because the older daughter isn't in the story anymore. Over all I loved it.

Field of Bones

I am a huge Janc e fan. I love the way she weaves the story and I feel like I know each character well by the end of the book. I like books where the good guys win and the bad guys go to jail or die. This fits that order.
