Book Description

A gripping novel of murderous secrets featuring homicide detective J.P. Beaumont.

The dead body discovered in a Seattle dumpster was shocking enough – but equally disturbing was the manner of death. The victim, a high school coach, had been lynched, leaving behind a very pregnant wife to grieve over his passing, and to wonder what dark and disturbing secrets he took to his grave. A homicide detective with twenty years on the job, J.P. Beaumont knows this case is a powder keg and he fears where this investigation will lead him. Because the answers lie on the extreme lethal edge of passion and hate, where the wrong kind of love can breed the most terrible brand of justice.

4 out of 5 stars Coach Who Didn't Win.......2007-09-11

A racial lynching (maybe, maybe not) -- a winning coach until the last game. J.P. Beaumont is on a case, working all the edges of a pregnant wife who's not bereaved and a woman scorned who is not his wife.
J.A. Jance draws the reader into the world of Beau, his friends, his partner and his life.
Beau drags his past around with him to complicate his work, but the gripper is just that. You like this guy who inhabits the Doghouse and drinks too much. A fast paced ending leaves major complications and expectations for the next one in this fine series. I found the first three Beaumonts in "Sentenced to Die" and read them rapidly one after the other.

5 out of 5 stars Trial By Fury.......2007-07-03

I wouldn't miss a J.A.Jance book...I have read both her character series and can't wait for the next installment to come out. You really get to know her characters in depth as they run from book to book, each one gives you just a little more insight into their backgrounds and what makes them tick.
I was born in Arizona and have lived in Seattle so it is fun to pick out things from the books that are familiar to me.
As you read these books Joanna Brady and J.P. Beaumont become the people next door, not just fictional characters in a book.
Give them a a quick read and you won't be sorry.

5 out of 5 stars Move Over, John Grisham.......2007-03-06

Wow, if I had been on a plane while reading this book, I'd break a personal reading record, possibly finishing the book before the plane landed. This book is actually the second J. A. Jance book I've read, have found an author I absolutely adore. I did not put this book down until done. I love the characters in her books, they're all well developed and in this one, I was taken by the friendship between J. P. Beaumont and his buddy cop. I love how J. A. Jance tells a story, so suspenseful and surprising.

The moral of this one is don't get romantically involved with a possible suspect in the midst of a murder investigation.

3 out of 5 stars Good start..........2006-04-04

I found this story more engrossing than the previous Injustice For All, in part because J. P. Beaumont doesn't immediately jump into bed with one of the victims. He is really at work on the case. I also notice more description of place than previously, putting me in a context, letting me visualize the setting better. If I can "see" myself on the scene, then I feel more involved. Author Jance's choice of crimes are realatively two-bit concerns, but I find myself stopping to avidly read another few chapters at end of day. That must be because of the good plotting and rapid pace of JP's investigation-no lingering over the fine points of forensics, or legal maneuverings, or boring witnesses and gumshoe drudgery. Det. J. P. Beaumont often makes cute comments but, you know, J. A. Jance is not a humorous writer. The jokes are sophomoric, cheap, or stupid asides to the reader--probably like my own would be. But here they jar me out of the tensions building in the story line, constantly putting me off. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the story for quite a time.

Then the story ran away from me. Quietly JP seems to be focusing on a suspect and for the life of me I still don't know why. What was suspicious? Things start rushing along and I'm thinking, he's after a red herring, he's been diverted, this is going to be a wild goose chase, oh why ever would his partner go missing? Then, to my surprise, the case is over and the perp is caught, accidentally. Where's the author's twist? Is that all to it? Isn't there going to be a final twist? The epilogue is sort of a Henri Poirot talk, "explaining" everything after the fact. So why couldn't Jance have worked that more cleverly into the plot; it's not like she dropped clues along the way. So that's it. This case is more a simple chase after one person than it is a procedural with clues, analyses, multiple suspects, and timely revelations.

I'm left still wondering, why should we be chasing that person, what's suspicious, how does JP know "there's no time left"? Could I have skipped two pages at some critical point? Am I completely "out of tune" with this author's intent and methods?Very strange, and displeasing.

5 out of 5 stars J.A. Jance sticks to her winning formula!.......2003-12-30

This series keeps the ingredients that made it a winner from the start: a divorced detective that has lots of money and loves McNaughton's, a partner that only eats healthy food and lives with his two kids, a lawyer that was "inherited" together with the money and an obnoxious reporter that hates the detective's guts due to past rivalries. This mix makes the Beaumont series a highly enjoyable one. You can read each of these books in a few hours non-stop and be eager for more!

If you are not interested in reading the whole series you can still read this book alone, sine there is enough background information in it to fully enjoy it. Nevertheless, I would not recommend reading Injustice For All (if you are planning to read this one too) after Trial By Fury since the latter has information about the ending of the former.

It is hard to say which series is better, J.P. Beaumont of Joanna Brady. My recommendation is: READ THEM BOTH!

Book Description

Now for the first time in one captivating volume, here are the first three mysteries featuring J. A. Jance's most popular and enduring character, Seattle homicide detective Jonas Piedmont Beaumont. It's a trio of tales steeped in the atmosphere of the Pacific Northwest that is sure to remind everyone that Jance is a master of modern suspense fiction.

In Until Proven Guilty Beaumont finds himself investigating the murder of a five-year-old girl. But his own obsessions and demons could prove dangerous companions in a murky world of blind faith and religious fanaticism as he discovers that he himself is the target of a twisted passion ... and a love that can kill. In Injustice for All Beaumont's well-earned vacation becomes a waking nightmare as he's forced to comfort a beautiful blonde after she discovers a dead body on a Washington beach. Suddenly a lethal brew of lust, madness, and politics threatens to drag the dedicated Seattle cop into the path of a killer whose dark hunger is rapidly becoming an obsession. And in Trial by Fury a naked, dead body is found lying in a Dumpster. What's most shocking is the manner in which the man died -- he was lynched. The victim, a high school coach, has left behind a very pregnant wife with a very dangerous secret. And a sixth sense developed over twenty years on the job tells Beaumont that this investigation is going to the lethal extremes of passion, lies, and hatred.

5 out of 5 stars terrific way to meet a strong long running police procedural.......2005-03-01

"Until Proven Guilty". The victim was no more than five years old; the weapon a Holly Hobbie gown used to strangulate Angela "Angel" Barstogi. Seattle Homicide Detective J.P. Beaumont may have fifteen years of murder cases under his belt, but whenever a kid is involved it is tough. He and his partner newcomer Ron Peters concentrate on the mother Suzanne and the cult leader Pastor Michael Brodie of the Faith Tabernacle. However, as he struggles to understand how Michael has such control over the "sisters", Beau, as J.P. is called, is sidetracked when he meets and falls in love with Anne Corley. Though Beau. does not come out as professional as he does in later tales because he spends the middle of the novel sniffing after Anne rather than the case, the partnering between he and Ron cleverly start to form, storm, norm, and perform.

"Injustice for All". Beau is on vacation at Rosario resort when he heard the scream that sounded like a bad teen slasher flick. Ginger Watkins was sobbing while Sig Larson of the parole board attending a seminar lies dead on the beach. Though a hundred plus miles from his jurisdiction, Beau takes charge of the crime scene only to learn that the husband of his witness is Darrell Watkins, running for lieutenant governor and that the victim's wife accuses said witness of an affair with her now dead spouse. The vacation shot to hell even though Beau is attracted to his star witness. In an early appearance, Beau conducts an intriguing investigation that is somewhat sidetracked by his attraction to Ginger, but he show more of the depth of caring that highlights his later tales as he makes inquiries though outside his jurisdiction.

"Trial by Fury". The corpse of Mercer Island High School basketball coach Darwin Ridley was found in a dumpster; he was executed state-style. Beau investigates starting with the pregnant wife Joanna who says her husband never comes home following a defeat as he needs time to recover and the team just lost at the finals. The suspects are shockingly everywhere including the spouse, but who could have done a state style execution seems juts outside Beau's grasp. This is the Beau that readers adore as he is filled with flaws, gets no respect, but keeps working in between drinks to solve the case.

These three 1980s Beaumont tales introduces the audience to Beau, his partner, his journalist enemy, and some of the lovers in his life while providing a grim realistic po0lice procedural. SENTENCED TO DIE is a terrific way to meet one of the better long running police procedurals.

His present is marred by the outbreak of the Great War, and it is further stained by the death of his friend, Timothy Bodgley, in circumstances that leave Edward in hospital, implicated as Bodgley's murderer. Strange chains of history and causality tighten on Edward's life: He is the unwilling key figure in an otherworldly prediction of salvation and/or disaster, bound to break the prophecy or fulfill it.

              4 out of 5 stars The Great Game - Interesting Fantasy Series.......2006-05-13

              This is an unconventional and imaginative fantasy/parallel world series. Duncan develops a parallel Earth with rather different astronomy, geography, and history. Some forms of magic allow talented individuals to move back and forth from our Earth to the Earth of the Vales, the society next door. The key feature is that strangers, people from our Earth on Valia or Valians in our universe, can acquire substantial magic powers through the accumulation of 'mana' stemming from acts of worship or sacrifice by the natives of that world. On Valia, this results in a society dominated by 'strangers' who have set themselves up as deities. The Great Game series describes a complex challenge to one of these deities in the form of the actions of the Earth born protagonist of this series, an idealistic Edwardian youth. Duncan's parallel universe is constructed well and his writing is solid. In several of his books, he has dealt with issues of duty and sacrifice, and this is no exception. There is a particularly nice use of the confrontation of youthful Edwardian idealism with harsh political realities. The plotting is clever as well, making creative use not only of the magical themes but also of the great influenza pandemic of 1917-18.

              4 out of 5 stars Great first book, terrible series.......2004-02-22

              Duncan creates a great new parallel world, reminiscent of Mythago Wood or the Little Country (both great books). The characters are intelligent and compelling...for the first book at least.

              Unfortunately, by the end of the series, the characters act in increasingly bizarre ways, plotlines are completely dropped and forgotten, and the whole story is wrapped in a completely unsatisfying and boilerplate way.

              3 out of 5 stars A Good Read with some Flaws.......2003-08-30

              First the bitter, then the sweet.

              Only madness could have driven Dave Duncan to choose the opening he did. Three out of five opening chapters are told from the perspective of characters that turn out to be either very minor or never show up again. I had to keep reading the back of the book to remember where the story was actually going. By the time the reader figures out who the protagonists are, the urge to throw the book in the fire has already come upon her.

              This is unfortunate, because after a while, the book picks up pace, even if it never really escapes the lethargy and fogginess of those early chapters. They make it difficult to get too invested in the characters, because Duncan has introduced them at a distance--through the eyes of others.

              He also introduces far too many characters onto the stage to really keep them straight. I wasn't shedding any tears over any deaths, and wasn't shocked except once. And in a 450 page book, well, Robin Hobb would have had me bawling.

              The truth is that maybe none of the aforementioned problems would be that serious were it not for one overarching problem. The pacing is off. By the time you feel the story is really starting, you're almost at the end of the book. Now, it's a trilogy, so a certain amount of that kind of feeling is fair. But not quite to this extent.

              The transitions between Twentieth Century Earth and the fantasy world slow everything down. I admit that I was far more interested in the chapters on Nextdoor than I was about Earth. Moreover, in some respects, the Earth world seemed more foreign. Duncan tries to get across the naive view of warfare pre World War One. And he captures it while leaving us unable to really relate to it emotionally.

              We can feel the anxiety of Eleal on her foreign world. Those emotions ring true for us. Edward's obsession with fighting Germany while he's being pursued for murder just doesn't feel realistic, whether it is or not.

              In the end, I'm not sure people would be dying to read the sequel. As for myself, I'm curious about his deities and the magic system that he put into place. That's fun for me, but I prefer to read a book for reasons other than it concept and mechanics.

              On the whole, it was an interesting read with likable characters and a dry Brit wit. The writing is also crisp and clean, the setting interesting, and I even marked one page of description that is particularly vivid. It's good solid fantasy with a well-envisioned magic system. Insofar as it's an epic, it's off to a sluggish start. Insofar as it's a concept story, it's dazzling. The author is obviously learned and talented.

              4 out of 5 stars A must-read (but you should read "Kim" first!).......2001-09-08

              This is volume 1 of "The Great Game." I read the whole series and liked it tremendously, though as an American I wasn't very familiar with the British imperial culture that makes up so much of the books. (Edward Exeter grew up as the son of a British administrator living overseas, and the magical world he visits has a similar colonial outpost of Brits, plus in many ways is like India.) I didn't really get it entirely. Then, just recently, I read Rudyard Kipling's novel "Kim" for the first time, and it all made sense. "The Great Game" is how Rudyard Kipling (and maybe others) referred to espionage in the service of the British administration in England. Like the character of Kim, Edward Exeter is an Englishman who sympathizes completely with the local population, and wanders among them disguised as a holy man. I now view Past Imperative and the following two books as sort of a really wacky and cool tribute to Kim, though I don't know if it was meant that way. I strongly recommend that you read both the series and Kim (which is an outstanding book in its own right).

              4 out of 5 stars detailed, interesting beginning of a trilogy.......2001-03-26

              "Past Imperative" is the first volume of a trilogy that takes place half in England during WWI, and half in the Vales, an odd geographic region of a world called Nextdoor, where magic works. Well, actually, according to Duncan, magic works in our world too, but we can't use it. A person from our world can use magic in any other world, where he or she is a "stranger," but no one can use magic in the world of his or her birth. Magical power is called mana, and is especially powerful at places called nodes, which also serve as gateways to other worlds. In our world, strangers work secretly, but in Nextdoor, they are gods.

              "Past Imperative" is the story of Edward Exeter, a young man accused of murdering his friend in mysterious circumstances. He is rescued from a hospital and sent to Nextdoor, where he is apparently known as the Liberator; prophecies in the unnervingly accurate Filoby Testament claim he will bring death to Death. Edward wants no part of this; he wants to return to England and enlist as a soldier. He spends much of the book avoiding various deities who would prefer not to deal with the Liberator and the chaos described in the Filoby Testament.

              A significant portion of "Past Imperative" is told from the point of view of Eleal Singer, a young girl who finds Edward when he first appears in Nextdoor. Those sections move slowly, especially near the beginning of the book. Edward's sections are more interesting, though they are also slow at first. The first two thirds of the book feel somewhat like a very extended first chapter, which sets up the main story. It's good to have a world developed in great detail, but it does make for rather tedious reading.

              At the end of the book, Edward has abandoned Eleal to avoid falling into the clutches of Tion, one of the Five great gods of Nextdoor, thus fulfilling parts of the Filoby Testament and the first third of an ominous prophecy given to him by a gypsy fortune-teller in England. Zath, the god of Death is still alive, and Edward is now completely alone in a strange world, with no way to contact the strangers who oppose the gods, and no way to get home.

              Thus far, the trilogy looks promising.

                  Pete Egoscue learned a lot about pain when, as a Marine officer, he was wounded in Vietnam. He segued from patient to physical therapist, and now runs a famous clinic in San Diego, where he claims he's helped 95 percent of his patients cure chronic pain--including Jack Nicklaus and Charles Barkley, whose athletic careers he helped prolong. At the heart of his program are stretches and motion exercises to restore proper function to muscles and joints. His methods are often surprising and counterintuitive. For example, for foot pain, he suggests a series of hip exercises. In fact, this is one of the most startling books you'll read about the human organism. Egoscue has strong opinions about how modern life is changing the way our bodies function, reducing the tasks we must perform and thus reducing the functional range of motion of our muscles and joints. Fortunately, he offers movement exercises to restore what nature meant us to have.

                  5 out of 5 stars Egoscue is a genius!.......2007-10-01

                  I was brought to the hospital, barely able to walk. The MRI revealed two herniated disks (neck and lower back) and the doctor suggested a surgical proceedure. By following this book's advice re exercise, my pain diminished about 50% in one day and was virtually gone within the week. With minimal upkeep, the pain has not returned in over 5 years.

                  5 out of 5 stars PAIN FREE.......2007-09-24

                  An excellent book based upon clear concepts. This book has really helped to noticeably improve a low-back problem. For those with similar problems, I highly reccomend this book and the regular practice of his excercises.

                  4 out of 5 stars Interesting and helpful.......2007-08-21

                  Some of the exercises (static back, sitting floor) provided in this book have helped me a lot with my lower back pain and as I am a dancer and fitness instructor I've seen them help many of my students as well.

                  Also on the plus side, the book provides a few good tips on posture.

                  I wont give it 5 stars, because I would have liked to learn even more new exercises, instead of seeing so many yoga exercises in there, like cats breath or downward dog.

                  All in all, an interesting read and a good value for $.

                  5 out of 5 stars Pain Free is right.......2007-07-28

                  Ten years ago a friend who couldn't get out the bathtub one morning due to back pain got relief from by following the simple exercises described in a book by this author, Pete Egoscu. Since then, I have given away eleven copies of that and other books by Egoscu to friends and acquaintances who suffered from all kinds of pain. Now, as a retiree, I'm fixing my head-to-toe pain, caused by teaching second graders, by following the exercises from neck to foot. I can't recommend this book more highly. The exercises can be done while the sufferer lies on the floor and watches television; they are gravity based and require only the strength available from each person; they realign joints in ways I'd never considered. I'm relieving pain in my neck neck and hand by realigning my shoulders and hips. Try it! You'll like it!

                  5 out of 5 stars Living Without Pain is Possible.......2007-07-20

                  This book is a must have for anyone looking to be able to function daily without pain, that includes old and young, competitive and amatuer athletes. I play tennis competitively as well as teach tennis. Doing the e-cises in this book has made it possible to still compete at a high level and stay out of the orthopedic's office. The e-cises are simple and do not take alot of time. The book offers pictures of each e-cise. It also offers sport specific and problem specific chapters with e-cise menus accompaning them. Junior Seau does the e-cises in this book and is still playing in the NFL.

                  5 out of 5 stars Great Book if you're starting your own business.......2007-08-14

                  This is a great book for those trying to start their own business and have captured Cat Lover's as clients. The recipes are simple and come with a fish shaped cookie cutter.

                  3 out of 5 stars A bit childish.......2007-07-03

                  I was surprised this book was like a childrens book. The one with cardboard thick pages. So it did not contain many recipes. However, the treat cookie cutter was cool.

                  5 out of 5 stars This book is a treat!.......2007-02-11

                  This book is the only one most anyone would need if they want to make some homemade cat treats. It has straightforward, fairly easy recipes with ingredients that are easily found in any grocery store. The book is colorful and attractive. The little fish-shaped cookie cutter is adorable. (You have to break each treat into two or three pieces before giving them to your cat.) I plan to give some of these homemade goodies to all the cats in my family next Christmas.

                  5 out of 5 stars Great simple recipes book for your cats!!.......2006-10-08

                  Okay - so there are a few recipe books out there for cats and most have many many more recipes. So after going to Border's myself and decided to choose this one mainly for these reasons...

                  1. It is a boardbook and I like boardbooks in the kitchen. Easy to clean and wipe down.

                  2. Every ingredient is already in your house or you get it at any grocery store. Nothing expensive either. The only thing I needed to purchase that I don't normally do is some liver for the one recipe.

                  3. The cookie cutter!! Not every recipe can use it and even for the ones you can, you don't have to. But it is nice to do with kids and especially nice to make them for gifts to other cat lovers. Oh and for the holidays, you can use other cookie cutters or even use food coloring for green and red. We made great little baskets for a few friends with felines. What a hit!

                  4. The recipes are easy easy easy! It isn't a whole hassle to make these snacks. Takes no time at all. And really, how many cat recipes are you really going to make over a lifetime? I don't see any need for a treat book with 100+ recipes that are too time consuming and expensive to make - oh and boring to look at. The 12 or so that are in this book are plenty for us and it is always fun looking at the great pics.

                  5. My main reason though is that my daughter who is 5 loves to help and it is simple, easy for her to read, she can't rip it or destroy it. I personally think these are great gifts to give for kids. We gave the dog recipe book, which is very similar, to her little friend with 2 dogs and she LOVED it. Great for kids 5-12yrs old.

                  6. The most important reason is that my 2 cats LOVE THEM!!

                  5 out of 5 stars Nice Book.......2001-07-24

                  This book contains very basic recipes with ingredients that can be found in any food store around the country. Directions were very clear and since the book is coated, it's very easy to clean. I would recommend this book.
