About this audiobook
The dentist was sitting bolt upright, mouth opened wide. Stone-cold dead. There was no lack of suspects - the brutalized wife, the pretty sexually abused dental assistant, an ex-con who was a very intimate friend of the widow. Homicide detective J.P. Beaumont knew he was closing in on his prey. But when a new piece of evidence surfaced, detective Beaumont discovered the true meaning of evil - and decided that justice would best be served if the killer went free.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A dentist is found murdered in his own office. Beau and his current partner investigate what at first seems like a slam dunk case. The evidence points them in one direction, straight to an ex-con. And while the higher echelon seem to agree, Beau has his doubts. This mystery was really gripping, with interesting secondary characters. The story arc concerning Beau’s former partner advances as well. The writing in this series just keeps getting better.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Another re-read, this time the fifth book in Jance’s J. P. Beaumont series. Again, not a lot to say about it except it is nice light reading.
