J.A. Jance takes us by the throat with her latest J.P. Beaumont thriller. Heading up into the wilds of Alaska and Seattle, we find a young woman missing after seemingly landing her dream internship. Twinkle Winkleman (yes, say it fast three times) is a mechanic in the same town the girl lives in and used to have a bit of an investigative nose. When her friends are distraught over their missing daughter, Twinkle calls her old pal Beaumont, which sets the train rolling downhill. Is the girl playing hooky or is there something more sinister afoot?
With her usual love of twists and turns, Jance takes us down a dark path where there’s not only one girl missing, but several across the U.S. The M.O. is the same, but Beaumont wonders- are they still alive or still in the U.S.? What happens next will leave you gasping and hugging your kiddos tight.
Thank you to the fabulous J.A. Jance and William Morrow for letting me read this arc early and for free for an honest review.
