Someone went to a lot of trouble to set up the scene to look like a crime of passion. Beau is never one to take the easy way out, and one discovery leads to another, and makes him believe it was not a murder-suicide. This rather involved and intricate mystery leads him into a web of lies and coverups. Quite interesting and entertaining, this gripping mystery is a page turner. ( )

School administrator gets murdered; her husband isn't who everyone thinks he is. Nothing much in the overall character -- Beau is going to AA meetings. ( )

I don't believe I've read any books by J. A. Jance before but I have certainly heard of her. This book is the 9th in her J. P. Beaumont series and I quite enjoyed it. There are a few references to things that have taken place in the past which I would like to know more of so I may try to pick up some more of these books.

It was interesting that this book takes place during an unexpectedly cold snap in Seattle. Cold in Seattle is apparently +6 F. This morning in Winnipeg the temperature is -32 C (or -25.6 F) which is what I consider cold. J. P Beaumont, a homicide detective with the Seattle police, is summoned out into the cold to check out two dead bodies in the Seattle School District office. The bodies are of a male security guard and a female school district employee. It appears it might be a murder suicide at first but that is fairly quickly discounted. The woman's husband, Pete Kelsey, is the next logical suspect and there is certainly some evidence to point to him, like a gun in the dead woman's laundry drawer and the security guard's uniform in his garage. J. P.' s partner for this case is Paul Kramer, the homicide's squad golden boy but a devious player, and he believes Pete is the killer but J. P. is not so sure. The evidence as the case unfolds points to another person and the ending was quite a surprise to me.

Well-crafted and suspenseful. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good murder mystery. ( )
