Very good sequel to Breach of Duty and a better book. About retired detective JP Beaumont who is forced into investigating an apparent murder on an Alaskan cruise.
  derailer | Jan 25, 2024 |
At his grandmother’s request, Beau accompanies her and her new husband on a honeymoon cruise. Because, as she said, you never know what might happen. What happens is a passenger on the cruise ship disappearing, and another one falling off a train during a side excursion. Beau might not be a police force detective anymore, but he can’t escape detecting. Pressed into service on board the ship, he, with some help from the FBI and others, figures out what really happened. It’s another well written installment in the series, exciting with a touch of romance thrown in. After all, romance blossoms on the high seas. But so does murder. ( )

This latest in the Beaumont series is much like the others - if you like them, you'll like this. JP Baumont, retired Seattle Police Detective, is on an Alaskan cruise with his grandmother and step-grandfather. And things start happening. I first started reading the Beaumont books when I moved to Seattle nearly 10 years ago. They aren't great mysteries but they were a wonderful way to learn about Seattle. ( )

Haven't read a Jance book in years so when I got this one as a gift, I was looking forward to reading it. I found it a thoroughly enjoyable mystery - lots of interesting characters, fast paced plotting, even though it's clearly part of a series and there were some references to past stories, it wasn't disruptive to the current story.

I forgot that her stories are set in Seattle and even though this took place on an Alaskan cruise, there were still plenty of references to my home town. A couple of twists and some action at the end wrapped it up nicely. Recommended. ( )

Beaumont - former Seattle detective - is escorting his grandmother on cruise to Alaska. Light reading, ok plot. Average read - ( )

Jance took several years off from her J. P. Beaumont series to concentrate on her more popular Joanna Brady novels, and since returning to action, J. P. has been a changed man--for the worse. First, in Breach of Duty (1999), the formerly hard-boiled Seattle cop started sounding like a veteran of one-too-many sensitivity classes, and now his transformation from Philip Marlowe to Phil Donohue seems complete. Forget the mean streets; Beaumont has been reduced to starring in a classic cozy set on a cruise ship! It gets worse. Beaumont is onboard the Starfire Breeze, cruising Alaska, as a companion to his honeymooning grandmother. Yes, it's a senior-citizen cruise, and there's all variety of cute byplay between the frisky seniors, until the bodies start piling up. It seems there's a crackpot onboard intent on killing doctors whose medical breakthroughs save lives. Beaumont sorts it all out before the ice sculpture on the buffet table has a chance to melt, but not soon enough for those who enjoyed this series back when it offered no-frills, hard-boiled fare. The new Beaumont will appeal to those who know Jance from the relatively cozy Brady novels, but J. P.'s old fans best look for a new drinking partner--unless they like the idea of bending elbows with Phil Donohue. --Bill Ott
