Joanna Brady is called to the scene of a murder of a man who manages a recreational area for ATV riders. At the same time, far away in Seattle, J.P.Beaumont and his wife, Mel, are investigating a series of deaths of young women who had been working as prostitutes. All of the previous victims had their teeth pulled before they died, so they couldn't be identified. Eventually, the latest victim is identified and she has ties to Bisbee, AZ. Working from both ends, Joanna and Beaumont work to find out who is murdering these women.
I always love J.A. Jance. Joanna Brady is my favorite character, but I have come to enjoy J.P. Beaumont, too. This book alternated from one to the other. It wasn't confusing but sometimes a little jarring to leave one place for the other. In ways, it didn't seem that the murder in Arizona really got solved to any satisfying degree. Still, it was a fun book, rich with details of both characters lives that makes Jance's books so enjoyable.
Rating - 4.5
