A shattering tale of tragedy and terror featuring Seattle detective J.P. Beaumont.

A desperate father's search for his runaway daughter has led him to the last place he ever expected to find her: backstage at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. But the murders in this dazzling world of make-believe are no mere stagecraft, and the blood is all too real. The hunt for his child has plunged former Seattle Homicide Detective J.P. Beaumont into a bone-chilling drama of revenge, greed, and butchery, where innocents are made to suffer in perverse and terrible ways. And many more young lives are at stake, unless he can uncover the villain of the piece before the final, deadly curtain falls.

This intricate plot seems to go in one direction and then veers off into another. Beau’s runaway daughter has been found by her step-father’s detective, and Beau goes after her, right into the midst of a Shakespearean town with plays. He is confronted with one surprise after another, and it will take him some time to wrap his mind around it all. And then, an accident (or murder), is followed by another murder, and yet another accident, this one involving his daughter. It was nice to see the interaction between all the family members - Beau, his ex-wife and her current husband, and Kelly and her fiancé. The mysteries are great, but so is reading about the relationships and friendships in this series. The characters seem almost real, and seem like people you wish you knew. ( )

Best one so far. We get to meet Beau's x-wife, daughter, son-in-law and grand-daughter. Incest and child exploitation are part of the plot which were also in Desert Heat, written the same year. ( )

I wasn't as excited with this read as I was in other J.A. novels. This one didn't get too exciting until half way through the book. ( )

I almost gave up, the writing is so breathless. Why did I persist? The local color. The clever plotting. The happy endings. The fantasy of never having to worry about money. ( )

Found another great series to sink my lit teeth into. Enjoyed the style and had a hard time putting the book down. ( )
