Nothing to Lose by J.A. JanceMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Thank you to Booklist for the ARC and the opportunity to review this title!
Retired homicide detective J. P. Beaumont is still reeling from the murder of his partner, Sue Danielson. Suffering from frequent nightmares, Beaumont revisits his memory of the night Sue’s ex-husband killed her and took his own life. Beaumont still blames himself for not responding more quickly to a call for help from Sue's son Jared. Fortunately, Beaumont was able to help Jared and Sue’s other son, Chris, escape before they came to any harm. Now, 20 years later, Jared arrives unannounced at Beaumont’s house with another request for help. Chris is missing and Jared wants Beaumont to find him. Beaumont doesn’t hesitate to take the case and makes the arduous journey to snowy Homer, Alaska. In his attempt to find Chris, Beaumont stumbles onto another case that just might give him the answers he needs. Jance’s latest Beaumont novel is thoroughly addictive. The plot moves steadily forward, and Beaumont's encounters with many of Homer’s colorful residents add humor and a touch of lightheartedness to the otherwise heavy subject matter. A treat for Beaumont fans, but those new to the series will have no trouble following along. Copyright 2022 Booklist Reviews.
