Mystery
From Goodreads:
Sheriff
Joanna Brady must solve two perplexing cases that may be tied together in New
York Times bestselling author J. A. Jance’s thrilling tale of suspense that
brings to life Arizona’s Cochise County and the desert Southwest in all its
beauty and mystery.
An old
woman, a hoarder, is dying of emphysema in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. In
cleaning out her house, her daughter, Liza Machett, discovers a fortune in
hundred dollar bills hidden in the tall stacks of books and magazines that
crowd every corner.
Tracing the money’s origins will
take Liza on a journey that will end in Cochise County, where Sheriff Joanna
Brady is embroiled in a personal mystery of her own. A man she considers a
family friend is found dead at the bottom of a hole in a limestone cavern near
Bisbee. And now there is the mystery of Liza and the money. Are the two
disparate cases connected? It’s up to Joanna to find out.
Remains of Innocence starts in Massachusetts
and ends in Cochise County Arizona.
Once again Jance has done a superb job of weaving two different crimes
into one tension filled story.
Joann Brady’s character just keeps growing. More and more she is just what is Cochise County needs for their
Sheriff.
Look for the loss of two reoccurring characters in Remains of
Innocence and a further look into Butch and Joanna’s family. Remains of Innocence does a good job
standing alone so don’t be afraid to read it first even though it is #16 in the
series. I have read the series
starting with book one and so for me it was great seeing all of the characters
again.
William Morrow published Remains of Innocence by J.A. Jance
in 2014.
I received an ARC of Remains of Innocence from Edelweiss.
