Always love the author’s books!!!!!
This is the second of this series I have read, and really enjoyed. It got off to a slow start, for me, while all the background of the story was laid. Then it took off with all its plots and sub-plots as the story raced to its end. Looking forward to many more.
This was an earlier one of the Joanna Brady series. I read most of J. A. Jance’s books as soon as they come out.

J A Jance is a great author. All of her mysteries are well written with great characters and entertaining story development.
I love all of Jance’s works.

Good entertaining plot, excellent characters and all placed in real small town Arizona, where you always feel and experience small town and incredible nature
Tomestone Courage is as engrossing now as it was when I first read it! I have enjoyed listening to these old favorites again— in order, this time.
When last we saw Joanna Brady in series premier, Desert Heat, her husband was murdered while running for sheriff of Cochise County, and she was under suspicion for drug trafficking.
