    About this audiobook

    The front-page photo was a gruesome heartstopper - a young woman plunging from a skeletal skyscraper.  Sheer horror frozen on her beautiful face. An accident?  Suicide?  Detective Beaumont didn't think so, especially when the body count started climbing, eventually leading him to the headquarters of the ironworkers' local - and a crew of hardhats with nerves of steel and some deadly secrets.  Beaumont was determined to make the union pay its dues... but the union had other ideas.

      The first season of Cursed Films explored the spooky legends around movies like The Exorcist and The Omen. It’s back for a second season (streaming on Shudder), and I’m pleased. It’s a compelling, well-made show… you just have to accept that “cursed”

      I’m re-reading this series and this is the best in the series to date. I feel JP’s character development really takes off with this book.
    • 5/5
      Great book! Easy listen, and the narrator was good. The ending was not as expected, thought someone else would be the villain. Can't wait to listen to another book by this author.

      Beau dives into a case that he hasn’t been assigned to. He is supposed to an advisor on a movie set, but they aren’t listening to him. When a body is discovered floating in the water, Beau goes into full detective mode. He goes a bit too far in pursuing leads and it lands him in hot water and some danger as well. The mystery is well written and exciting. The characters seem real, as they cope with the good and the bad that life throws at them. This series continues to be entertaining and intriguing.
    • 4/5
      This is a good, fast-moving police procedural. I recently read one of the later J.P. Beaumont mysteries and did not like it at all – it was too burdened with minor characters (friends and relatives of Beau, mainly) and their backstory. This book is much earlier in the series, and shows what was attractive about the books. There is a fairly convoluted crime, a single-minded detective, some danger, a small cast of familiar stereotypical characters, and some Seattle backdrops. It’s not literature, but it keeps you reading.
