14th in the Brady series and 18th in the Beaumont series. What attracts me to Jance's books is the Arizona setting, I'm not interested in Seattle and for other reasons I don't like Beaumont. Too bad for me this book spends most of its time in Seattle. I wasn't pleased with the ending of the last Brady/Beaumont crossover - to see another one made me sigh. Having the two protagonists be separated for most of the book was a plus. I didn't like the quick transitions between POVs, usually about a page and a half for Brady before switching to Beaumont, with 3 or 4 pages for him. It's not confusing, as Beaumont is 1st person and Brady is 3rd, but I found it annoying. It's obvious to the reader where the plot is going so no surprises there, although perhaps if you hadn't read any of the Brady series you wouldn't realize. But there's no resolution; the bad guys might get away, they might not, we don't know. Did like the Mama Rose character at least. I have two more in the Brady series on my TBR shelf and I'll read them because I have them, but I've been getting less and less interested so those may be the end for me.
