Book Review of Failure to Appear (J P Beaumont, Bk 11)

Failure to Appear (J P Beaumont, Bk 11)


J.P. Beaumont's teenaged daughter Kelly has run off---and her tracks have led to the sober but struggling sleuth to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. But in addition to one very headstrong offspring, there is something else waiting for Beau backstage; a case of cold blooded murder.
The victim is an acquaintance---a sleazy rival P.I. brutally butchered, supposedly by the festival's young Juliet....though Beau has his doubts. But the second act is about to open with a second corpse and a touch of kiddie porn---leaving Beau center stage in a heart stopping tragedy of revenge, deception and death.
