STAND DOWN A J.P. Beaumont Novella

As former homicide investigator J.P. Beaumont and his wife, Mel Soames, both begin new facets of their law enforcement careers, Jance provides plenty of character development and suspense. Narrator J.R. Horne tells the story rather than trying to dramatize the voices, offering realistic tones and pacing, and heightening suspense and drama. His clear narration makes following the action easy and builds listener concern when Mel goes missing. For Mel, the politics of becoming police chief will always involve Beaumont, her biggest supporter. Getting to know him better through this production will encourage listeners to seek more J.P. Beaumont stories. S.C.A. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2015]
