These mysteries just keep getting better. In this one, Beau is at a rehab center overcoming his dependency on alcohol. His roommate is a young drug dependent drug dealer. When said roommate goes missing, then is found dead from a bullet fired from Beau’s service weapon, guess who the prime suspect is? Much more than just solving the murder happens in this gripping tale. Beau has to find the guilty party to save his own neck, because local law enforcement isn’t looking much past Beau. A more caring side of Beau also emerges as he deals with the relatives and loved ones of the victim. It’s quite interesting to read about his character’s growth as the series goes on. ( )

Takes place in Arizona where Beau is working on rehab. A variety of different aged characters poorly treated by the adults in the their life. ( )

Gene Engene’s narration of the Beaumont audiobooks makes the characters and actions seem very real. Listening to him makes me feel like I just sat down with Beaumont and 2 mugs of coffee, and said “Tell me about your day!” Jance + Engene + Beaumont = one of the best author, voice, and character combinations.

JP Beaumont is in rehab in Arizona when his roommate is murdered. OK plot, but writing is a bit off. No detective would spend a half a page describing a fancy meal! A good page turner but not much more. ( )
