J. P. Beaumont's latest investigation strikes too close to home in this riveting mystery from New York Times bestselling author J. A. Jance.

Be careful what you wish for . . .

Before he retired, J. P. Beaumont had looked forward to having his days all to himself. But too much free time doesn't suit a man used to brushing close to danger. When his longtime nemesis, retired Seattle crime reporter Maxwell Cole, dies in what's officially deemed to be an accidental fire, Beau is astonished to be dragged into the investigation at the request of none other than the deceased victim himself. In the process Beau learns that just because a long-ago case was solved doesn't mean it's over.

Caught up in a situation where old actions and grudges can hold dangerous consequences in the present, Beau is forced to operate outside the familiar world of law enforcement. While seeking justice for his frenemy and healing for a long fractured family, he comes face to face with an implacable enemy who has spent decades hiding in plain sight.

  BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |
Beau is good at a lot of things, but being retired isn’t one of them. No longer a cop, he nevertheless is coerced into solving a murder by the murdered man himself. His longtime nemesis, Maxwell Cole, dies in what seems to be an accidental fire. But Max had told a close friend that if he turns up dead, she should get Beau on the case, because it was surely murder. Max was researching an old case, and Beau soon realizes that things in the past don’t necessarily stay there. Interesting characters and an intriguing mystery add up to an entertaining tale. ( )

J.P "Beau" Beaumount, retired cop, is drawn into investigating the possible murder of an old nemesis, a retired crime reporter. Of course, it IS a murder, and is related to several other murders. As usual, Beau solves them all, with the help of his many connections, and his devoted wife (and chief of Bellingham Police) Mel. An interesting twist in this entry in the JP Beaumont series is the appearance of an adopted dog they come to love. ( )

Very good entry into this consistently fine series. Beau is trying to be helpful and wanders into a quagmire of murders, drugs and spousal abuse. He and Mel do some dog sitting and Rambo changes their lifestyle. Fast-paced, coherent and interesting as we have come to expect from this excellent author. ( )

I received this book from Goodreads as an ARC, and although mysteries are my favorite genre - I was a bit bored with this mystery. Having lived in Seattle, I was familiar with the locations that were the setting of the book, but the pace was too slow for me. A retired police officer gets asked to investigate a murder (not exactly original), and if you are expecting a thriller or an exciting page-turner, this is not the book for you. The writing is decent for the most part, but I found finishing the book not that enticing. There were also several situations that I would have to say were implausible - one was the rescue Wolfhound that is highly trained in obedience (hounds are not obedience material), and the other situation is the author's statement that the Puget Sound area is not cold. It will in fact freeze the nether regions off a brass monkey. ( )
