Four-star review of Taking the Fifth by J.A. Jance
I’ve enjoyed many of
Jance’s novels in the past, even the ones with J.P. Beaumont as the
Seattle-based protagonist. This one was very predictable, though, and far from
memorable, but a good, quick read.
A few of the characters
were well-developed. A few were dead before they could be, even in retrospect.
Beau is flawed, and one of his flaws is how easily he’s dazzled by a woman, in
this case an over-the-hill singer who’s making a comeback. Throw in a murder by
high heel and what do you get?
