Review - Justice Denied

Another book finally finished. The latest one was Justice Denied by J. A. Jance. Jance writes two series in addition to other suspense mysteries. This title featured J. P. Beaumont, a gruff yet lovable investigator with the Washington State Attorney Generals Office.

In this novel Beaumont and his partner Mel Soames are tasked to investigate a bunchy of old, cold cases. While Beau looks into missing persons cases, Mel is investigating old sex assault cases. The two of them finally come together, but not nearly soon enough. Along the way, they are aided by a forensic economist who helps them uncover trends of their cases.

This book was not quite the same as her previous books. As Publishers Weekly put it, this was just not up to the caliber of Jance. Nevertheless, it was enjoyable.

Now it's on to The Bishop's Bride by Elizabeth W. Watkins.
