Book Reviews of Damage Control (Joanna Brady Mysteries, Book 13)

Book Review: I always like J A Jance novels
Summary: 4 Stars

J A Jance has been writing the Joanna Brady series for a long time and the writing and storytelling remain consistently good. I really enjoy that there is more than one plot-line going on throughout the story. The characters are very well-developed and I'm involved in the story from the first page. This book, how it brings a weekend of crime, and then integrates it with Joanna's personal life was well-written, and moved along at a fast clip. My only complaints about this book would involve some character changes that apparently will appear in the next book, I'm a bit disappointed in those changes. But this was another great story for Joanna Brady.

Summary of Damage Control (Joanna Brady Mysteries, Book 13)

On a beautiful sunny day in the Coronado National Monument, an elderly couple's car goes off the side of a mountain and into oblivion. The terrain is so rocky that a helicopter must be flown in to retrieve the bodies, and to make matters worse, a thunder-storm is looming on the horizon. Hours later and miles away, the subsiding rain reveals gruesome evidence: two trash bags containing human remains.

It's just another day in the life of Cochise County sheriff Joanna Brady.

Back at home, Joanna has a newborn baby, a teenage daughter, a writer husband, and a difficult mother to deal with. But in the field, it turns out that she has much more on her hands. The remains are those of a handicapped woman who had wandered away from a care facility with a suspicious track record. Another resident, with whom the woman may have been involved, has also been reported missing.

Meanwhile, a note is found in the glove compartment of the car lying twisted down the mountainside, stating that its occupants intended to take their own lives. Yet a contradictory autopsy report surfaces, and when the deceased's two daughters show up to feud over their inheritance, Joanna knows there is more to this case than just a suicide pact.

And she will go all out to find the truth—no matter where it leads.
