"Have been following this author through both her main characters for years. The melding of these two supposedly unrelated events is quite interesting. How the two investigations eventually join up into one case is very interesting. "

" J.P. Beaumont and Joanna Brady team up again... Well done. "
— Pamela, 2/20/2014 -
" couldn't get past 4 chapters really slow... "
— Rachel, 2/3/2014 -
" Not worth reading. I have loved her books in the past, but she didn't have a story to tell here and the flip-flopping between Beaumont and Brady was annoying and redundant. "
— Debdanz, 2/1/2014 -
" Better than the other Beau/Brady cross over. The story was good but the two points of view switched a lot making it hard to keep track of. "
— Roberta, 1/31/2014 -
" Not her best effort but if you follow Joanna Brady and jp Beaumont it is a must read. Both characters are aging nicely. "
— Mary, 1/29/2014 -
" Ending was too soft and I thought they could have had more interaction between the 2 main characters. Still, the book moved quickly and it wasn't bogged down with too many details. "
— Pam, 12/31/2013 -
" I like it when the different characters overlap a bit. Not as conflicted as last time, however. "
— Ruth, 12/30/2013 -
" Jance maintains her previous standards for this long-running series. I liked the switching back and forth from Beaumont [Washington:] to Brady [Arizona:] and the intertwining of their plot histories. Have been reading this series for years and was not disappointed. "
— Vi, 12/29/2013 -
" Not a favorite of mine because I just cannot get an emotional connection to JP Beaumont. "
— CeeJay, 12/29/2013 -
" mystery set between seattle and arizona, just seemed too coincidental "
— Andrew, 12/25/2013 -
" Combines 2 of J.A.Jance's series. It is a Beaumont and Brady novel. Her Brady novels are always fun for me to read becauswe they are set right here in beautiful Bisbee. "
— Hanje, 12/24/2013 -

" I'm not reading a kindle edition, I have it on CD. "
— Stacy, 9/14/2013 -
" Brady and Beaumont and their associates solve an especially grisly murder. Not as gritty, nearly cozy, after just finishing a Robicheaux mystery. "
— Ellen, 8/31/2013 -
" Two great characters of her series in two different locations come together again with murders that have connections. I think I enjoy here Beaumont series the best but Joanna Brady does run a close second. "
— Kay, 1/4/2013 -
" Just finished this one... I'm partial to the Joanna Brady series although Beaumont is good to. I enjoyed this one and I liked the way the two characters were tied into the plot line. They always hold my interest. "
— Joan, 12/8/2012 -
" Easy to follow story line between to different locations working the same case of murder. "
— Mary-Jo, 9/29/2012 -

" I finished the book for the sake of finishing it. There were too many characters and too many different stories lines. Because some parts were written in the first person, it took me a while until I understood who was talking or thinking. Not impressed. "
— Santa, 3/24/2012 -
" I liked it. I had to adjust to the jumping back and forth between Beaumont and Brady, but it was worth it. "
— Cindy, 2/5/2012 -
" This was easy to listen to. A little predictable, but still good. "
— Capri, 12/3/2011 -

— Pam, 9/22/2011 -
" In this book the cases that Investigator J. P. Beaumont in Seattle and Sheriff Joanna Brady of Cochise County in Arizona are working on come together to make for an interesting read. I very much like these J. A Jance books. "
— Donna, 8/3/2011 -
" A great book if you already know the characters from the series. Involves both Beaumont from Seattle and Brady from Arizona, who each have been in series of their own. Interesting mystery storyline. "
— Patty, 7/7/2011 -
" I am a Beaumont and Brady fan. "
— Eileen, 5/12/2011 -

— Ellyn, 1/5/2011 -
" This is my first JA Jance novel. It was a good book but nothing to write home about. Might have liked it better if I was more familiar with Beaumont and Brady characters. Might have to read some previous novels to see if I like them better. "
— Abel, 12/27/2010 -
" Another good book to add to the Joanna Brady & J.P. Beaumont series. Like the way the author goes back and forth between the two protagonists, but kinda hope it will be the last where both are featured. "
— Susan, 12/9/2010 -
" This book sucked. I don't want to read about wussy cops. Come on, kick some ass. "
— Darrin, 12/8/2010
