Joanna Brady #10
by J.A. Jance
4 out of 5 stars
When a participant in the witness protection program from the state of Washington is found dead in Arizona, Joanna Brady and J.P. Beaumont team up to solve the case.
I wasn't sure I liked J.P. Beaumont at first, but I wound up really interested in his character. I am looking forward to reading the series that is about his cases. J.A. Jance does a great job at character development, so I am especially looking forward to reading more about his backstory.
Trigger warning: animal death
J.A. Jance wrote this scene especially well. She captured the emotion and handled the situation with sensitivity.
My question, again: WHY did Joanna marry her husband? All he does is whine about her being gone.

Partner in Crime. #10, in the Joanna Brady series. Joanna gets off on the wrong foot with JP Beaumont, a detective from Washington state. The read was good, but I was dismayed by something Joanna did in her personal life. It dimmed my pleasure in the book.
The audio was great--male and female narrators.

My views on Joanna Brady were not as positive in this novel. I thought she was unfeeling and incapable of empathy.
In Partner in Crime Arizona Sheriff Joanna Brady and Seattle detective J.P. Beaumont find themselves teamed up to investigate the murder of a witness protection client. The victim was hidden away in Naco, AZ by the WA Attorney General's office. Beaumont has retired from the Seattle Police and is working for the Washington State Attorney General as a special investigator. After initial clashes and distrust the two begin to work together. Will they find out who killed the witness, and who had her killed?
I waver between 2 to 3 stars on this one. I decided to give it the 3 stars because I feel like if I had read this at a different time of year I would have enjoyed it more. Also, I didn't realize until I was halfway through it that it is part of a series; and actually combines 2 of her characters from two different series. If I was more familiar with the characters from their series I probably would have enjoyed it a bit more. Also, because I was reading this during my busiest time of year I kept getting interrupted with work to do so it took me almost a month to read. Overall though I thought it was a fun read. It definitely makes me want to go back and read the series from the beginning.
