review

love Jance"S books. I like to have some tongue and cheek humor along with suspense. there are some genuinely profound moments in Jance's stories. when are we going to see Beaumont, Brady and Ali Reynolds in a book all at one time.

Improbable Cause

This book has many twists and turns and I couldn’t put it down, so speak for audible books, and I had considered one person or the other as the suspect u til the end, which was a surprise.

Just What I Wanted

I have been a fan of J.A. Jance and the J. P. Beaumont series since I happened onto the author about 6 months ago. The plot is comfortably predictable [there is no doubt that Beau will solve the crime] but the mystery is interesting and does keep one guessing until all possible suspects have been cleared. The narrator, Gene Engene, is just about perfect as Beau and presents the other characters--including children and women--in a subtle yet distinctive manner. I recommend this book to anyone who likes good stories, good characters, and knowing the good guy will win.

OK Good One

Love J.P. Beaumont.. He's good at what he does. Just adore the character. Each book gets better and I love him more.

Nice twist

I like the twist at the end. I thought I figured it out. yea

Not A Favorite

One of J.A. Jance's ok books. Not one of my favorite story lines. Did not seem to have enough intrigue and full character information as other books in the Beaumont series.

seattle twist and turns

This was a good read or listen too book. most of the I listen to.

Some of the Voices Made Me Cringe!

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. J.A. Jance almost always hits a home run as far as I am concerned. My favorite series is Joanna Brady, but J.P. Beaumont is a close second. I have heard many books narrated by Gene Engene but this was the first one where I just didn't like the narration. He was great when he was doing the voice of Beau......but I seriously disliked almost all of the other voices, starting with his partner, Al. His portrayal of Al sounded like he couldn't possibly have enough brains to qualify as a detective........more like a punch-drunk fighter!! He did the words of the sergeant so fast that I sometimes had to replay them in order to understand what was being said. A great book and I know this narrator can do better because I've heard him do it.

Improbable Cause

I really enjoy the character of J. P. Beaumont. He is a crusty detective that is seasoned and very believable. The story line had several twists that were equally interesting to figure out ‘who done it’.

That voice

The narrators voice is pretty irritating and very hard to listen to him for very long
