4.0 out of 5 stars J.P. IS ON THE CASE, Aug 16 2000
By Kenri A. Mugleston (Orange, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lying In Wait Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
J.A. Jance is back in form with this J.P. Beaumont gem. There is a new partner to work with, grisly murders to solve, nazi war criminals and helicopter chases. What more could you want?

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best Jance book, Jul 19 2000
By Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Lying In Wait Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
J.A. Jance is a prolific and reliable author, but this book is not up to her usual standards. The murders in this book are brutal and both follow the same m.o. A person is burned to death and each finger and toe are severed. J.P. Beaumont and his new partner, Sue Danielson, do enough investigating to make a connection with a Nazi past and some missing gold from a German death camp. Perhaps in an effort to infuse something more exotic into this series, Ms. Jance sacrifices some of the basics of good writing. There are indeed, many unanswered questions at the end. I began to wonder if I had drifted off somewhere in the reading process! We do catch the usual glimpses of the attractive environs of Seattle and J.P. Beaumont is more human and more attractive as a recovering alcoholic rather than a man who reaches for a McNaughton's every time the going gets tough.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ripped off!, Mar 22 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Lying In Wait Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
Usually books in the J.P. Beaumont series written by J.A. Janceare thoughtful, well-planned, and exciting. Lying in Wait is a hugedisappointment! How did she ever throw that ending together? So many unanswered questions. The whole ending was one big unanswered question. For example: 1) Where has Nazi Hans Gebhardt been for 30 years? Why did it take 30 years for this plot to happen? How did he connect up with Denise Whitney; what was their relationship? Did he actually kill his own son and why? None of this is ever explained and this is involving only one of the characters! 2) Who was the bigamist? What is that whole thing about? It was alluded to and never explained. 3) What happened to the gold? Did the Jewish Nazi hunters really steal it back or was it still in Gunther's house? It was all left up in the air. So unsatisfying for the reader. 4)Why were the other Nazis tortured and killed? Should we assume Hans did that or was it Erika or who? And why did it even happen - all because of the gold? More unanswered questions. I hope Jance never writes anything this ambiguous ever again!

3.0 out of 5 stars Lying in Wait
As a recent JA Jance fan, I have read all but her latest 'Breach of Duty". This was my least favorite. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars not bad, but...
This book suffers from the lack of a good editor. There were two illogical rough spots in the book that should have been caught before going to print. Sorry, Ms. Jance.
