Product Details


Product Description

From AudioFile

A little girl is murdered, and a mysterious woman in red comes to the funeral. Both events unalterably change the life of Homicide Detective J.P. Beaumont. Engene starts off well with deep, gruff tones perfect for an older, big city cop. Unfortunately, though, he has a tendency towards the melodramatic which often overshadows the irony of the text. He handles the frequent (though not graphic) sex scenes well, realizing the author's objective is to portray obsession rather than titillate. One jarring note is his selection of voice for a minor character--the girlish, lisping whine for a gay character has no place in these supposedly enlightened times. S.F. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.


Product Description

The little girl was only five, much too young to die -- a lost treasure who should have been cherished, not murdered.She could have been J.P. Beaumont's kid, and the determined Seattle homicide detective won't rest until her killer pays dearly. But the hunt is leading Beaumont into a murky world of religious fanaticism, and toward a beautiful, perilous obsession all his own. And suddenly Beau himself is a target -- because faith can be dangerous...and love can kill.

--This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.
