    About this audiobook

    Who is J.P. Beaumont? A very human Seattle police detective who is hardened but hopeful, dispirited but diligent - the kind of cop who has experienced personal tragedy but still remains faithful to his duty.

    When J.P. Beaumont and his new partner Sue Danielson are assigned the murder of an elderly woman torched to death in her bed, Beaumont finds himself distracted by Sue's difficulties at home. Distraction soon turns to terror as Beaumont and Sue find themselves caught up in a series of events that will leave them and their carefully constructed investigation shattered. For Beaumont, nothing will ever be the same.

      JP solves the murder of an older woman who is killed in a house fire. Also, he tracks down the owner of human bones discovered in a Seattle park.
    • 2/5
      Good book to help falling asleep
    • 5/5
      The investigation of the death of a woman who died in a fire leads Beau and his partner, Sue, on a rapid chase that leads to a myriad of threats, curses, and death. The recent discovery of some old bones are believed to have come from a Native American burial place. A professor at a local university comes to Beau with a cautionary tale of curses associated with their discovery. Sue is dealing with problems her ex-husband is causing. Meanwhile, Beau’s nemesis is causing him problems at work. Eventually, things circle back to the first crime he is investigating. Much happens in this thrilling edition to the series. It’s action-packed, tightly written, and quite exciting, but be forewarned: it is also quite sad, and sends Beau on a new trajectory. The audio version is very well narrated by Gene Engene. He has become the voice of J P Beaumont, and does an excellent job of performing all the other characters as well.

      I had to remember this was a story. It had me tearing up so much. Mr. E is an amazing reader.
    • 5/5
      It's been forever since we've had a new Beaumont. J.P. Beaumont, Seattle Homicide Detective, is oh so thankfully back. A assumedly impoverished woman no one seems to morn is burned to death in an arson fire and then $300,000 is found in an old refrigerator in her garage. A group of kids stage a role playing party and discover real bones. These stories are woven into the plot that surrounds Seattle like the rest of this series. It was like visiting with a good friend you haven't seen in a long time.
