Beau dives into a case that he hasn’t been assigned to. He is supposed to an advisor on a movie set, but they aren’t listening to him. When a body is discovered floating in the water, Beau goes into full detective mode. He goes a bit too far in pursuing leads and it lands him in hot water and some danger as well. The mystery is well written and exciting. The characters seem real, as they cope with the good and the bad that life throws at them. This series continues to be entertaining and intriguing. (

More interesting characters, a couple of bad/insane people turn out to be good guys -- a nice twist. Jance seems to be setting the stage for Beaumont to have a drinking problem.

This is a good, fast-moving police procedural. I recently read one of the later J.P. Beaumont mysteries and did not like it at all – it was too burdened with minor characters (friends and relatives of Beau, mainly) and their backstory. This book is much earlier in the series, and shows what was attractive about the books. There is a fairly convoluted crime, a single-minded detective, some danger, a small cast of familiar stereotypical characters, and some Seattle backdrops. It’s not literature, but it keeps you reading. (
