I'm a great fan of J.A. Jance and have followed her other 2 series. Having just read book 2 of the new series, I love it and can't wait to get the first book. Alison Reynolds is a tossed away wife who is just getting her life back together. However, on the way to finalize her divorce (just one day before her soon-to-be ex weds his pregnant mistress), life for her changed again dramatically. Instead of being a divorcee, she's a widow and the primary suspect in his death. And that's just in the first few pages. To say any more would give too much away. This books has everything you can hope for in a J.A. Jance book.

going.
This is the first book I've read by this author, but I thought it was a good read.
2nd in the new series of Ali Reynolds. Good read.
Really enjoyed this book - mystery, love story, perplexing dilemma that will involve the reader. What would you do if it happened to you? Gotta read this great Jance story.
The highway from LA to Palm Springs desert is parched, unforgiving, and deadly. In the suffocating stillness of a car trunk, a man his mouth and hands bound with tape waits to learn his fate.
Ali Reynolds is traveling that same blistering, lonesome highway, looking forward to putting her past behind her. She'd left LA for the home comforts of Sedona, AZ and the satisfaction of a blog, cutlooseblog.com. But her cheating husband is in a hurry for a divorce; his very young and very pregnant fiancee has a wedding planned for the next day.
As she passes the site of a horrifying accident, she thanks goodness it's no longer her job to report the news. Until she finds out the news is her own. For the victim is Ali's cheating husband.

A disappointing read. Jance put together a really great plot but the characters are way too superficial. I've read all of the Jance books (including the first in her Ali series) and adore them all except the Ali series. Unlike Jance's other characters, Ali is one dimensional and boring. In the Ali series Jance violates one of the key rules of fiction writing, that is--the character, after facing adversity, is changed from what she was before the event. And lets face it Ali was facing some horrific events!
Sorry to be so negative. Will continue to read Jance's novels and hope her Ali series gets more depth of character.

This book was enticing from the very beginning. I didnt want to put it down. The story moved along quickly and had twists and turns I didn't expect. Can't wait for my next adventure with Ali.
Gift Copy!
J.A Jance has become one of my favorite, preferred authors. The Ali Reynolds series is quickly becoming my favorite series of the four she has written: J.P. Beaumont (Seattle, WA Policeman Detective) was her first series, Joanne Brady (Cochise Country, AZ Sheriff; my favorite and my introduction to the southwest when I moved to Cochise County, AZ 3 years ago), and the Walker Family (Pima County (Tucson), AZ Sheriff) is her fourth series are all excellent. Having said that, it would be very difficult for me to decide which of the four series is my favorite. I supposed the favorite would have to be whichever series Jances' latest book is from. Can't wait to read more!
