About this audiobook
Computers, poetry and Samurai lore were successful businessman Tadeo Kurobashi's passions. So it stood to reason that the ancient "art" of harakiri would be his suicide method of choice. But Detective Beaumont wasn't certain that the dead software magnate had any choice in the matter - despite the bloody Samurai sword Kurobashi clutched in his lifeless hand. Especially since an error in the time-honored death ritual indicated cold-blooded homicide...of a most traditional sort.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The growth in JP Beaumont’s character is fantastic and the mystery was really good too.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This is the first JA Jance book I've experienced. I don't mean to be unkind, but I thought it was poorly written with trite dialogue and an uneven storyline. I understand Jance is a gifted writer with a large following, so perhaps I chose the wrong book to listen to. Also, I would not listen to a book narrated by this narrator again.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great mystery story in the JP Beaumont series with all the details covered and explained.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A Japanese businessman whose business is bankrupt is found dead, an apparent suicide in a time-honored suicidal event. But another Japanese man says it’s not so, citing important discrepancies. It’s enough to make Beau look for a murderer. As with most of his cases, one thing leads to another, and more crimes are committed against this man’s family. It’s an interesting mystery, but equally interesting are the lives of the characters. Beau has awakened with broken fingers after a wedding of a friend, with no idea how it happened. Eventually, he puts two and two together . . . after all, he IS a detective! And he gets more news from his doctor, which Beau probably didn’t expect, but astute readers probably did. The writing in the series may seem dated by today’s standards, but it’s still well written. Beau’s lawyer friend is dragging him into the technological world little by little. It’s a nice - and realistic - aspect to the series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5When Tadeo Kurobashi, a respectable Japanese-American businessman, appears in these pages, he is already a corpse. However, the reader gradually learns more about him from the perspective of his loyal friends, sworn enemy, reclusive and mysterious wife, and estranged daughter. Did he commit suicide (hara-kiri) because of impending bankruptcy or was he murdered? Seattle police detective J.P. Beaumont undertakes to find out and to solve intertwining mysteries as well.
J.A. Jance is an author I enjoy reading. Once I find an author I like I will usually read everything they write. If they already have 10-20 titles out by the time I discover them, I will usually read them straight through in order. She is a solid writer in a genre that I enjoy. I don't like to evaluate one title as being superior to another. I just experience it as another solid offering in a series that I enjoy. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good plot, as Beaumont covers the State of Washington, especially Seattle and across the water to the Peninsula. The plot revolves around a ceremonial sword and the murder of bankrupted engineering entrepreneur.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Well structured tale. Enjoyable. I would have deleted the last sentence, however, and ended with the one before. We can draw our own conclusions and “gratitude” is much stronger than “him”.
