When her daughter, Jenny, stumbles across the dead body of her high school principal, Cochise County Sheriff Joanna Brady's personal and professional worlds collide, putting her in the difficult middle ground between being an officer of the law and a mother.

I have an approach/avoidance problem with this series. The plots are great, but I find myself editing instead of getting lost in the writing, which is why I gave the book three stars instead of four. ( )

I don't know that I've ever been disappointed in a Joanna Brady novel, and this one is no exception.

The high school principal is found dead - by Sheriff Brady's daughter! Doesn't take long for them to discover that the principal is not who she claimed to be. Plenty of interesting personalities, plenty of clues to chase.. another winner! ( )

3.5 . I've listened to or read many of the books in this series over the years. They are good road trip books, or good for any time you want to be entertained without thinking too much; I was cooking when I finished this one today. ( )

A little slow starting for me, but got very interesting...I like the way family mysteries get revisited in the process of solving new crimes. ( )

Great story! I hadn't read a JA Jance book in a while and I'd forgotten how much I like her characters. I solved one of the mysteries early but there were actually two incorporated into this book and the second outcome was a complete surprise. ( )
