Customer Reviews

The series just keeps getting better!

I've enjoyed watching the Joanna Brady character grow with each book in this series. I'm glad to see she's getting on with her life, and that the other characters in the books are growing too. I was particularily pleased by the changes in Joanna's minister friend, and by the strong relationship Joanna is building with Butch. I recommend this book, but suggest that readers new to the series start with Desert Heat and read through the books chronologically. It's more fun that way to see the changes in Joanna's life!

Good stuff!

If I want hilarious mystery, I read Janet Evanovich, Jennifer Crusie and Donna Andrews. If I want tough, futuristic SciFi mystery, I read J.D Robb. But when I want sun-drenched easy-going mystery I turn to the Joanna Brady mysteries. This new one is the fastest moving and most likable: good suspense, real-life characters and the great continuing story of Joanna and Butch. I read such fast-moving stuff, it's nice to slow down and bake in the Arizona sun for awhile. Read this series from the beginning - it gives you a true appreciation of each new one.

Excellent

Joanna Brady is doing a fine job of being sheriff, raising her daughter and actually finding time to have a life as well. Everyone should be so lucky.Read this one, and all the others, and then go out and find all the JP Beaumont series as well. JA Jance is an excellent writer. Keep up the good work.

I couldn't put it down.

I have become a big fan of Joanna Brady. When she first came to be I wasn't so sure I would like her as well as J.P.. Jance's descriptions of the area really bring the story to life. Joanna Brady has become a wonderful character. Her challenges in her everyday life make her seem real and her job gives you the excitement of a good mystery every time. Thank you J.A. Jance for creating such a wonderful character.

Super!

Of all of the novels I've read this year, only "The Triumph and the Glory" can approach "Outlaw Mountain" for simmering suspense, great plot, and memorable characters. This is a winner in every way!
