Earlier this Summer I shared with you the prequel novella to this book, Ring in the Dead,

and I am happy to bring you the latest JP Beaumont book!

Synopsis:

With Second Watch, New York Times bestselling author J. A. Jance delivers another thought-provoking novel of suspense starring Seattle investigator J. P. Beaumont. Second Watch shows Beaumont taking some time off to get knee replacement surgery, but instead of taking his mind off work, the operation plunges him into one of the most perplexing mysteries he's ever faced. His past collides with his present in this complex and thrilling story that explores loss and heartbreak, duty and honor, and, most importantly, the staggering cost of war and the debts we owe those who served in the Vietnam War, and those in uniform today.

Review:

How much can I say that I LOVE Jance's books, as in ALL of them? I really really do! It seems like I've been reading her mysteries forever, and in a sense I have! This book is not any different! It was a great plot device to go into the Beaumont's past and have him solving the same crime in modern times. It allowed Jance to show how much policing has changed, yet stayed the same.This was a fast moving book and I don;t want to give ANY more of the plot away, except to say I think it is one of her best books, and if you love the Beaumont series, you will LOVE this book!

About the Author:

A voracious reader, J. A. Jance knew she wanted to be a writer from the moment she read her first Wizard of Oz book in second grade. Always drawn to mysteries, from Nancy Drew right through John D. McDonald's Travis Magee series, it was only natural that when she tried her hand at writing her first book, it would be a mystery as well. J. A. Jance went on to become the New York Times bestselling author of the J. P. Beaumont series, the Joanna Brady series, three interrelated thrillers featuring the Walker family, and Edge of Evil. Born in South Dakota and brought up in Bisbee, Arizona, Jance lives with her husband in Seattle, Washington, and Tucson, Arizona.
