Loading... Exit Woundsby J. A. Jance
None. ereader ebook   romsfuulynn | Apr 28, 2013 |  Exit wounds is a very gripping,sometimes appalling novel.The real suspense was when it is found that the victim was the true murderer.Overall,Its a very sensational novel. (  ) MaryJudeAnton | Apr 18, 2013 | A gripping novel. ( ) MaryJudeAnton | Apr 12, 2013 | The prologue was a good opener and no hints given at all as to who or why for several chapters.Joanna is the headstrong and focused lady sheriff of a southern Arizona town. She investigates three murders performed on the same day. I was mislead by events until the “ah-hah” revelation surfaced more than three-quarters into the book. There was one major plot with one aside plot that ended with vague assumptions. All in all, the major storyline was solidly finished.It was refreshing to read about a character such as Joanna. Any personal drama was kept to a minimum and true-to-life. Butch is her fussbudget author husband with too much time on his hands. But, I suppose the author planned it this way. This was the first book I’ve read by J.A. Jance and I enjoyed it and recommend it. (  ) catmommie | Jun 11, 2011 | Excellent whyteb | May 21, 2010 | no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0380804719, Mass Market Paperback)Top ten New York Times bestselling author J.A. Jance returns with a powerful tale that explores the darkest corners of human nature. The heat is a killer in Cochise County, Arizona, with temperatures over 100 degrees. In the suffocating stillness of an airless trailer, a woman is lying dead, a bullet hole in her chest. Why someone would murder a harmless loner with a soft spot for strays is only one of the questions nagging at the local police; another is why the killer used an eighty-five-year-old bullet, fired from the same weapon that slaughtered two other women who were discovered bound, naked, and gruesomely posed on the remote edge of a rancher′s land. The slayings are as oppressive as the blistering heat for Sheriff Joanna Brady, who must shoulder the added double burden of a brutal re-election campaign and major developments on the home front. With more on her plate suddenly than many big city law officers have to contend with, she must put marital distractions and an opponent′s dirty tricks in the background and deal with the terrifying reality that now threatens everyone in her jurisdiction: a serial killer in their midst. Sheriff Brady must pursue this sadistic murderer into the shadows of the past to get to the roots of a monstrous obsession and expose the permanent wounds of a crime far worse than homicide.
