Sherriff Joanna Brady is shaken when her teenaged daughter, Jenny, discovers murder victim Debra Highsmith, her high school principal--and then uses her smartphone to take a photo, which goes viral. Narrator Hillary Huber's unique husky voice may come as a surprise--but she's a master at storytelling. Huber takes the listener on a fast-paced hunt for the killer, perfectly portraying the various characters, especially the slightly whiny teen. The plot is exciting and unpredictable, filled with up-to-date technology and interesting details about Joanna's life, past and present. Even though this is a long-running series, new listeners can join right in. Fans are sure to enjoy discovering new secrets about Joanna's father's death. M.M.G. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine -

In bestseller Jance’s satisfying 15th novel of suspense featuring Cochise County, Ariz., sheriff Joanna Brady (after 2009’s Fire and Ice), Brady’s 15-year-old daughter, Jenny, discovers her high school principal, Debra Highsmith, shot to death in the desert near their family home. Jenny phones Brady, who hops on her horse and rides to the crime scene. Who might have wanted to kill the extremely private Highsmith, who appears to have had no friends and no next of kin? When a second murder follows within as many days, Brady really has her hands full, especially since important intel about the crimes is hitting the Internet even before she can begin lining up suspects. Meanwhile, Brady’s trying her best to juggle the life-or-death circumstances of her job with a private life. Jance smoothly intertwines the threads of multiple subplots, complete with a red herring or two. The solution to a 25-year-old mystery surrounding the death of Joanna’s father is a bonus. 10-city author tour. Agent: Alice Volpe, Northwest Literary Agency.
