Betrayal of Trust by J.A. Jance

4.0

Not having read a J.P. Beaumont (or J.A. Jance) book before, I was glad to get the chance thanks to my Mom sharing her First Reads copy with me. J.P. and his partner (who is also his wife) are asked to get involved with a high profile case linked to the Governor's family. As the investigation unfolds, the mystery becomes more complex and reveals more crimes may have been committed. At the sane time, J.P. receives an unexpected email that could reveal details about his father, a man he never met. The story lines moved along well and kept me turning the pages, although I found the outcomes of the criminal cases quite sad. Both the story and characters were complex and compelling. Despite the tragedies of the cases, I liked the book and am glad I got a chance to read this one, thanks to my Mom's luck in receiving this one via Goodreads First Reads.
