Rating:  Summary: Jance at her best! Review: When I first heard that one of my favorite authors, J.A. Jance, had written a book that had the very different characters from her two very different mystery/detective series appearing in one book, I was skeptical. How could tough J.P. Beaumont from Seattle possibly interact with Sherriff Joanna Brady down in Bisbee, Arizona? And, having read and loved all of the Joanna Brady books but only two of the J.P. Beaumont series, would I really want HIM crashing the party down in Arizona?I shouldn't have worried: in the hands of a master like J.A. Jance, characters can and do travel to different locales and interact with each other without readers getting frustrated or feeling lost. In fact, the results in this book are simply WONDERFUL. Like all of Jance's books, this one has a strong plot, well-developed characters, and a suspenseful ending. Jance never takes the easy way out of a mystery; part of the joy of this book is watching her NOT take the easy way out of the interactions between Beaumont and Brady ---that alone is worth the price of the book. It's simply one of her best, whether you're a Beaumont fan or a Joanna Brady fan, although most of the action does take place in Arizona. Highly recommended!
Rating:  Summary: TerrificTeam! Review: Writer Jance has a real winner on her hands in her "Partner in Crime" novel, when she teams up two familiar characters to join forces in this 'Must Read' page turner. The characters are believable. The dialogue interesting. And the plot exciting. A very appealing combination. John Savoy Savoy International Motion Pics. Inc.
