This is the latest in the J.P. Beaumont novel by prolific writer J.A. Jance.
Encouraged by his wife, J.P. Beaumont, retired homicide detective and former alcoholic, has started a new career as a private investigator. One of his first cases is to find the missing daughter of someone from his past. The missing daughter gave birth to a methadone addicted baby and then abandoned the baby at the hospital. With baby in tow, the grandfather upends Beaumont’s life as the search leads to a personal revelation for him as well as the discovery of fraud and multiple homicides.
Although he faced some rough times growing up as well as early in his career, Beaumont now appears to live a more charmed life with the financial resources to easily solve any problem or concern that he encounters. That helps everything fall into place and all loose ends are tied up in a neat package. It is all almost too good to be believable.
Well written, this is a fast, engrossing read. I liked that despite this being the 24th book in the series, the author filled in necessary character background history so that it worked well as a standalone.
