Publisher's summary

Seattle Investigator J. P. Beaumont is drawn into an intriguing and shockingly personal case in this superb tale of suspense from New York Times best-selling author J. A. Jance.

Former Seattle homicide cop J. P. Beaumont is learning to enjoy the new realities of retirement - doing morning crossword puzzles by a roaring fireplace; playing Frisbee with his new dog; having quiet lunches with his still-working wife. But then his past comes calling.

When a long-ago acquaintance, Alan Dale, shows up on Beau’s doorstep with a newborn infant in hand and asking for help locating his missing daughter, Beau finds himself faced with an investigation that will turn his own life upside down by dragging his none-too-stellar past onto a roller-coaster ride that may well derail his serene present.

It turns out that even in retirement, murder is still the name of J. P. Beaumont’s game.

Surprised

I had hesitated buying this book because the first JP book I had bought had such trashy language but I have most of the J.A. Jance other series and love them. The sample didn't have any objectional language so I took a chance and so glad I did. I really like this book. It kept me guessing to the end and was well performed . I will now see how far back I can go on the series before I hit a language problem.

Well written and performed!

This was a different kind of story. Sure, it had all the hallmarks of a good mystery, however it had something else - a story of recovery from someone who has been there and knows that recovery is a lifelong process.

terrible rendition

sounds as if the v.o. reader is trying to be dramatic but missing the mark. also butchering the sentences.
very distracting from the story

ja Janice doesn't disappoint!

One of my favorites! A well-woven tale. Loved every chapter. Great entertainment.
Can't wait for the next one.
Whether in an electric scooter even, may JP Beaumont continue his private eye endeavors!

JP's new job

Sins of the Fathers (J.P. Beaumont #24)
by J.A. Jance



J.P. Beaumont is on a case that hits way too close to home. The action is at a sedate pace since he is older now. I'm not so sure I like him tossing money at all the problems he encounters, but if you got it, spend it.


The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Alan Sklar does J.P. justice.

A visit with an old friend.

I loved this- I loved the narrator's gravelly voice, Lucy and the story line. I love that JP owns his past good and bad.
