Fire and Ice, #14, in the Joanna Brady series. This one is the second crossover between this series and the JP Beaumont series. The plot takes a while to unfold, but it is good. I prefer for the series to remain separate though.

Not a huge fan of the Brady\Beaumont crossover stories. The constant switch between first and third person is annoying. This one was about coyotes, drug cartels and a wedding.

This one definitely has its own brand of quirks. It was an ok read, but one I had a hard time finishing. I liked the writingm but there were too many characters to keep up with. If you're going to read it, make time to finish it within a week. I waited too long to finish the ladt few chapters, and the slew if characters were confusing and hard to remember.

J A Jance's mystery novels are not the greatest but they are good enough that I want to keep following her Joana Brady series. Fire and Ice is set in both Southern Arizona and in Seattle, Washington. Her characters from two mystery series come together to solve some crimes that turn out to be connected. This is not the first time these two detectives have worked together. A strange combination, a Southern Arizona Sheriff and a Seattle cop now working for the Washington State Attorney General, but it seems believable enough for a story. Other reviewers I am sure will outline the plots and the crimes so I won't. I like the characters, the settings and the ways they connect.

Usually I really like the Joanna Brady ones, but I couldn't even finish this one....I just didn't care! Maybe because half of it was Beaumont? BUt, I haven't liked her last couple.....

For J.P. Beaumont's second crossover with Joanna Brady, things could have gone a lot smoother. One would think that it should be fairly easy to have two law enforcement entities come together in a single novel, but based on this novel, it must be incredibly difficult since they hardly cross paths in this book, transforming it from one of a single solid mystery into two not as well written ones wedged together.
