DAMAGE CONTROL

Sherrif Joanna Brady is keeping very busy these days. She has a new baby and things are a little out of control at work. An elderly couple is dead and the question is whether it might have been a murder-suicide. Another older gentleman dies in a trailer fire. Again, was this an accident or perhaps a suicide. If that weren't enough a body is found in two trash bags. As usual, Joanna's staff is working hard to solve these cases. It's not always easy to keep everything on track in a busy sherrif's department, plus manage your not so easily managed mother, a teenaged daughter, a baby and a husband who needs to go on a book tour.

I always enjoy J.A. Jance and Joanna Brady was the first of her books that I fell in love with. It's been quite awhile since there was a new Joanna Brady book and this was her usual good fare. There is enough mystery to keep the reader involved and enough of Joanna's personal life to make the characters human and likable. I'll be looking forward to the next J.A. Jance novel.

Rating - 4.5 stars
