Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
Long before she started her hot new series about Arizona sheriff Joanna Brady, J. A. Jance was already one of the stalwarts of the police procedural genre because of her books about Seattle homicide detective J. P. Beaumont. Like the Brady novels, the Beaumont books are a perfect balance of the personal and the professional--placing the main characters in human contexts without making them seem cute or trite. The latest Beaumont, just out in paperback, is one of the best in the series: Beau wrestles at home with his own dying ex-wife and the vindictive former spouse of his best friend, while his office time is spent trying to discover who murdered a very nasty biotech executive. Previous Beaumont books in paperback include: Dismissed With Prejudice, Failure to Appear, Improbable Cause, Lying in Wait, Minor in Possession, Until Proven Guilty, Without Due Process.

From Booklist
Seattle cop J. P. Beaumont is a renegade. Not only does he play by his own rules, but he's also not particularly macho: sensitive, polite (at least, usually), and very politically correct. His latest case starts with the discovery of a "floater" dredged out of the water on New Year's Eve. The victim is a prominent biotech executive who died, not by drowning, but from a bullet hole in the back of the head. Two more bloodied corpses show up, J. P. finds out that the biotech company was down the tubes, and one of Seattle's more prominent citizens confesses to the murders. Then J. P. finds out that his ex-wife is dying of cancer and that some overeager social worker is trying to prove he's a pedophile. It's enough to make anybody crazy--even the usually cool J. P. The story's a little thin on plot, but readers won't mind because J. P. is such a likable fellow, struggling with life's ups and downs just like the rest of us, and in his own way, shaking his fist at fate. Emily Melton

Format:Taschenbuch
As this series progresses, Detective J.P. Beaumont shows his human side more and more. As the book begins, Beau is babysitting his former partner Ron Peters' daughters (on New Year's Eve, no less.) In the course of the book he is saddened by the impending death of his ex-wife, and has some nice moments with her second husband. He also sheds tears over the death of one of the book's central characters. There are no tears shed over the intial murder in the book--that of Donald Wolf, a biotech corporation executive. He is a womanizer, a rapist, and all around bad guy. The identity of the murderer seems obvious at first, but Jance manages to create new possibilities as the book progresses. Unlike her previous book, Lying in Wait, Jance ties up the loose ends and provides an unusual and strangely satifying end. If this is ever made into a movie, Katherine Hepburn should play Grace Highsmith.

Name Withheld, is the third Jance book I have read and while Trial by Fury was by the best so far, this book was excellent in its own right. It makes JP Beaumont seem very real and likable. The plot twists and turns make you keep reading and overall it makes me want to go to the bookstore and grab another Jance book just to see what Beaumont will be up to next.
Format:Taschenbuch
I've read every J.A. Jance book, but this most recent one lacked the action, mystery/intrigue, and fun the other books had. This was entertaining, but I still liked her first book the best.
