Book Description

March 23, 2005
A New York Times Bestselling Author

It was a final moment grimly preserved for all the world to see: a front-page photo of a young woman plunging to her death from the upper stories of an unfinished skyscraper. It might have been a suicide - but the look of sheer terror frozen on the woman's face suggests otherwise to Seattle Homicide Detective J. P. Beaumont.

3.0 out of 5 stars BEAU NOT UP TO FORM, February 10, 2001
This J.P. Beaumont novel was not up to the same standards as the others I have read. There was no emotion. I also am seeing the same M.O. Beau tries to do some sleuthing on his own time, gets accused of murder and then goes to jail where the officers are hateful to him. Beau then makes a few phone calls and the officers apologize for their behavior and all is well.

In this novel Beau is investigating the Iron Workers Local after several workers die under mysterious circumstances. In order to work on the case he has to beg Kramer to let him on. How thoroughly sad.

The highlight of this book is that even when J.A. Jance isn't at her best, she is still better than most.

5.0 out of 5 stars Protest to Amazon, January 22, 2012
By 
Barbara Wood (Castroville, TX, US) - See all my reviews
Product arrived on time and as described. Why does a review have to be a certain length? I want to protest Amazon forcing me to write more than I feel NECESSARY! I feel others should do the same.
