Book Description:
Joanna Brady returns in J.A.
Jance's ninth adventure featuring the Arizona sheriff. Joanna and Butch, her
new husband, are trying to build their dream house, adjust to their
marriage, and cope with the preteen mood swings of Joanna's 12-year-old
daughter, Jenny. During a Girl Scout camping trip to Cochise County, Jenny
and another girl sneak out of their tents after lights out to have a
cigarette and stumble on the body of a murder victim. Joanna is initially
more concerned about her daughter's misbehavior than the murder at Apache
Pass--after all, smoking can kill you--but then Dora Matthews, Jenny's
coconspirator, is killed. Joanna's fear that her daughter might be in the
killer's sights adds an extra dose of adrenaline to her efforts to find the
man who left the body for Jenny and Dora to find. Add that worry to the
sheriff's suspicion that Butch may be having an affair with a former
girlfriend and you have the makings of a typical Joanna Brady novel: long on
intelligence, empathy, and humanity and short on shootouts and suspense.
Jance's other series, featuring Seattle cop J.P. Beaumont, features more
intricate plotting and louder firepower. Brady's not as complex as Beaumont
or as fully developed a character, but she leads with her heart, and her
struggles to balance her personal and professional life bring interest. The
Southwest landscape comes to life in the author's capable hands, and while
the narrative's pacing is a little pokey, there's lots of lovingly evoked
scenery to make it a pleasant trip.
