review 1: I jumped to the middle of this series by starting with Deadly Stakes because a friend loaned me the book after I told her I went to hear J.A. Jance talk at my library. Jance is a character just as rich as the ones she creates in her stories. There are several things that make for...

review 1: Some interesting premises make this book tolerable. However, I have never read anything that so obviously has no clue about rights and protection of young people. I mean, they go to a school and have free reign to talk to students. In what cavalier, parallel universe does this oc...

review 1: So far this is my favorite in the series. The flashbacks and chats with old friends were like some of the better moments in a Burke novel, but fortunately JPB never uses a throw-down weapon to make a case against someone he thinks has it coming. I also like him better with Mel ...

review 1: This is the first J.P. Beaumont book that I have read and the first J.A. Jance that I have read. I picked up a bunch of her books at a used book sale and I have to say that I am glad that I did. I have enjoyed them all. This one, a murder mystery that is never as cut and dry as i...

review 1: I read this book so fast I didn't have time to post I was reading it! Even tho this is the 16th in the series, it is still suspenseful and fast-paced. J.A. Jance never disappoints. This book involves two complicated cases that Joanna Brady, Sheriff of Cochise County, Arizona m...

review 1: This is a very short background piece about Beaumont and his first partner. It's a nice read, but leaves me wanting more. I turned a Kindle page, and boom, it's over. This format seems to be a new option in e-publishing. I like that authors are exploring new and exciting options....

review 1: This novella gives us the background of Butch, Joanna's second husband. There is more to this man that just the one we have met in prior books. You will like Butch and you will definitely understand him better. Someday J.A. Jance may disappoint me with a less than 5 star book -- ...

review 1: Let me begin by saying that it takes a LOT--I mean A LOT--for me to not finish a book I start reading. As of right now, I am debating finishing 'Second Watch.' I'm about 100 pages into it and perhaps, based on the numerous 5 star reviews, I will conclude it. But I doubt it.I read...
