Desert Heat Audiobook

" This is a decent southwest suspense novel. I look forwrd to reading the next one in the series. "

" Great series! I realized I've already read this on! Moving on to another! "

" I love the characters most specially Joanna Brady. She is so convincing and very brave. Ms. Jance's writing makes you feel as if the scenes were happening right in front of you in reality and she's also very clever to jump easily from a dangerous situation to heart-warming moments. "

" Joanna Brady is a great character. She fills in for her husband after his murder, is elected Sherriff, then grows into the job. A very interesting and exciting series, you share her journey as Joanna matures as a law enforcement agent, a mother and a woman. "

" I really liked this book, such a sad story and then the beginning of a great series! "

" Part of my catch-up on popular series I haven't read yet. First of a well-known female sheriff series in Bisbee, AZ. I enjoyed it and it was a fast read. Want to try her Beaumont series set in Seattle too. "

" Book 1 in the series. I always have to read them in order:) "

" Okay, count me very impressed. I picked up this title just so I could try out my library's new audio book downloads without knowing anything about the book. Now that I'm done listening, I want more. I definitely want more Joanna Brady. "

" Enjoyed this book. Was surprised how much I expect cellphones in novels. This book is just pre cell phone. "

" Love this series. Read all of them so far. "

" I was worried that, having read book 2 first, that I would not enjoy this one. Though I already knew what would happen to at least two of the key characters by the end of the book, I did enjoy watching the story unfold. I'm looking forward to more in this series. "

" I'm not mystery buff, so I don't know how great this book is compared to others of its kind. It was decent. I remember reading it quickly but not being impressed. Perhaps it's better than I recall. Either way, I won't be rereading it anytime soon. I read this in a mini-seminar class in college. "

" finally read the first one in the series after having read some of the later ones.....I LOVE these!!! "

" Joanna Brady - resilient "

" Arizona law enforcement fiction "starring" Sheriff Joanna Brady. "

" I love this series. Great female lead. "

" Excellent start to this amazing series. "

" This was one of those "beach reads" like, I could have sat around all day at the beach reading this...it was good, but not great. "

" The entire Joanna Brady series of books are very good and well worth reading - in order. "

" an enjoyable series that I find more fulfilling than JA Jances, JP Beaumont series. Not super innovative, but I like the full cast of characters. "

" These are fun - female sheriff in AZ! "

" Desert Heat was a pleasant surprise. The small town life and plot are interesting, but what I loved were the characters. All them were well developed and had feelings, like, really, they had credible feelings, which is not something you can take for granted in most murder mysteries nowadays. "

" Not bad. Could tell what would happen. "

" Predictable plot. Didn't I see this movie? "

" Love JA Jance books ... especially her Joanna Brady series. These books are fast reads ... take to the beach or a quick read over a weekend or on a plane. You can easily read with distractions around you and still remember and enjoy the book. "

" excellent, will look for more in Joanna Brady Series "

" Good preface for the remaining books, of which I've read a few. "

" first shot at joanna brady and ja jance. liked them both. liked the storyline and will read more. "

" excellent, will look for more in Joanna Brady Series "

" These are fun - female sheriff in AZ! "

" Excellent book I really enjoyed it, kept me interested through out the entire book. "

" Read it in 2 days while on vacation. Very good but was really graphic. Still have 50 pages left... "

" Wavered between 3 stars and four. Very fast read and I loved getting to know the characters that are in the series. I listened to Skeleton Canyon first and it piqued my interest. I will continue to read the series. Very good recreational reading. "

" Love this series. Read all of them so far. "

" My first J.A. Jance novel, and it was alright. Nothing particularly clever or intriguing about the plot or writing, but easy to read and helped pass the time on a long trip. "

" Having read Outlaw Mountain I'm intrigued by the Joanna Brady story so I'm starting at the beginning...its the back story of how she becomes sheriff through the investigation of her husband's murder...spot on!!! "

" A real sense of suspense adds to the mystery making this book cross boundaries. A fascinating creation of small town dynamics develops within the action without relying on exposition telling us about the trials of village life. The action and pacing are superb. "

" I had decided I needed to start at the beginning of this series. It was a great start to the series. "

" This book was so terrible. Hundreds of pages of nothing happening at all then three pages of action right at the end and the whole story is wrapped up tight. Completely implausible circumstances lead to more implausible events lead to yet more insane conclusions. Don't bother. "
