This story includes both Arizona Sheriff Joanna Brady and Seattle Homicide Investigator J. P. Beaumont, working on a case together for the first time. The suspense was good, the clues were slyly scattered (making me groan with "I shoulda known!" a few times), and the story line gave me a few scares that carry over into real life.
Many times a narrator fails at distinguishing voices without sounding silly. In this book, having two narrators (male and female) is the perfect solution. They give Brady and Beaumont strong, clear personalities, and make their interactions seem very natural.
I had previously read all of Jance's Brady stories, and this book encouraged me to start following the Beaumont series, too.
