Die hard HP Beaumont fan. Definitely enjoying the richness of these books as he is now retired and a PI. This book has a big personal connection which is even better!

Beau is challenged on 2 fronts…personal and professional. His grandson, a high school senior, shows up because his parents are having marital problems and are separated. To complicate his arrive is the onset of Covid and the prospect of schools closing and replaced by visual learning. Then a special friend from his past asks for his help to determine if a death was an overdose or murder. Beau’s investigation leads him to the possibility the death was not only murder but by a serial killer. This was a page turner filled suspense and family drama. I enjoyed this book. Another great novel by J.A. Jance.

Thanks to NetGalley and William Morrow for the ARC.

Another GREAT J. A. Jance book ... featuring J. P. Beaumont. This time Beau's focus is on his family's crisis as well as several unsolved drug-related deaths. As always, along with developing the story, Ms. Jance explains crime solving techniques used by today's law enforcement agencies. You come away feeling a little bit smarter and greatly entertained!

A top five and a definite recommend ... in fact, the complete J. P. Beaumont series is a recommend!!

I have not read this series with Investigator JP Beaumont, but I guarantee you that I will be starting with volume 1 very soon. Beau was a Seattle Police Detective who became a private investigator upon retiring. This story has such a wide circle of incidents that all intersect at some point. You have family issues, past work and friend relationships and multi city police departments all intertwined into a terrific story. Highly recommend!

This book, was really good. It's the first book I have read by J.A Jance. I loved the suspense and the family in it. I loved the ending. I'm grateful that netgalley and the publishers let me read this in exchange for an honest review.

Another great book in the series. I like how Beau has aged. In addition to the mystery there is an interesting family story that I hope continues to the next book.

As a fan of Ms. Jance’s books, I was eager to read her latest effort and I was not disappointed. This is a story of a serial killer and of family values and relationships between various generations. As the plot develops, the reader is compelled to turn the pages quickly in this well written thriller which details the investigative steps taken and the multitude of people involved. Without divulging any of the twists and turns, I can wholeheartedly recommend this novel for all who are devotees of this genre. I thank NetGalley and William Morrow for the opportunity to read and review this excellent novel prior to its publication.

Great book! Crazy but very interesting storyline! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one! This book had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, a fantastic who done it and some crazy twists and turns! I highly recommend this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this bookwith me!
Former Seattle homicide cop J. P. Beaumont faces trouble in the small town of Ashland, as both his personal and professional lives are thrown into turmoil. Beau’s daughter and son-in-law are having marital troubles, and his grandson, a senior in high school, shows up on his doorstep, wanting to live with Beau and his wife Mel as he finishes out the school year. Meanwhile, a friend from his past asks for Beau’s help in looking into what appears to be an accidental death. A young man died of a fentanyl overdose, but those closest to him are convinced that he would never have used the drug, and that something much more sinister has happened. Beau agrees to unofficially reopen the case, and his investigation leads him to uncover similar mysterious deaths that all point to a most unlikely suspect. As the case becomes more complicated than he could have imagined, and past and present mysteries collide, it will take everything Beau has to track down a dangerous vigilante killer!

another sensational novel by J.A. Jance from page one until the end the reader is rapt it is the story of one man and his determination to provide solace for families including his own readers won't want this to end

My only note to the publisher is regarding the phrase "vape gun" near the end of the book. Aren't these devices called vape pens or vape cigarettes?

Wow, what a great page turner!! Jim a long time fan of this author and this latest installment of JP's Investigative journey was really, really good. I actually put everything aside and read this book in one day! How does she think up such incredible but possible plots?
