This is the first book I have ever read from her and it got me hooked. You do not have to start at the beginning of the series. She gives enough background to be able to follow. This is a great book. Now I have bought almost all of her books and she never disappoints.
I want to read this book!
J. A. Jance books are always exceptionally well written. I highly recommend this book along with all of her others.

One of the best writers published today. I never miss any of her books.
The usual good read with this author.
Another winner by J.A. Jance. enjoyed it very much.
Typical Joanna Brady mystery – good plot – a bit confusing at times, but turned out VERY good! I so enjoy reading these books!
Not one of Jance’s best, but a good read.
This book packs a punch from start to finish! It reveals more about Joanna Brady’s parents and explores the difficult choices posed by balancing family and career— all against the horrific backdrop of a serial murderer. The southeastern Arizona desert of Cochise County is just as much a character as Sheriff Brady. Those of us who grew up in this beautiful, ecologically-diverse state will appreciate the artfully-described locales, while anyone who hasn’t yet visited here might be enticed to come see for themselves. The Grand Canyon is a beautiful sight to behold, but consider a visit to Bisbee also. The area is rich with history, beautiful scenery, and welcoming residents.
I’ve read many of J. A. Jance’s books and she always delivers a great story. She is one of my favorites.

Jance is a great writer and I read all of her books. This one is a little different from some of the others, but still a good read.
I enjoy the Brady series, and it’s been a while since she’s written one. Love characters in the books.
