Sheriff Joanna Brady is the law in Cochise County, and she will never allow her personal trials to interfere with the job she was elected to doâ??especially now that death has invaded Bisbee, Arizona, and has shattered the small desert town's fragile peace.

A gun dealer has died violently, and his stock of high-powered weapons has been cleaned out. Suspicion falls upon rancher Alton Hosfield, an armed separatist at war with the federal government and the local lawâ??with everyone, in fact, whom he perceives as a threat to his independent way of life.

Joanna Brady suspects the solution is not so cut-and-driedâ??especially when the cold-blooded slaying is followed by a series of others, equally horrific and perplexing. At best, an incendiary "Ruby Ridge" situation is brewing. At worst, a maniacal serial killer has come to feed on her unsuspecting community. But Joanna's preoccupation with bringing a murderer to justice could take a terrible toll on her private life . . . and unravel threads of family, love, and responsibility that might never again be ret… (altro)

This was the best one yet! Highly recommended to read in order though. ( )

Parts of it were interesting and parts not so interesting. I don't think I've ever read J. A. Jance before. For some reason, when I saw the name, in my head, the author was male, so when I got to the end of the book and saw the author's photo and realized she's female, it was a surprise to me.

This book was on the Y's book exchange shelf, so I jumped into the series at book 6. I wasn't too lost though there were a few things that weren't explained well enough for me to know what was going on.

I liked that Butch plans to become an author and the joke about his pen name was amusing. I liked most of the police. Even Ernie Sandoval who didn't exactly do things by the book. I think he had a good heart at least at first--but eventually I think he was more in it for the perks than for doing what he did because of his friendship with Ramos.

The plot of the serial killer is mostly interest-holding.

I feel sad for Joanna who lost her husband and is left to raise her daughter as a single mom. I'm glad she has the help of both sets of parents. She seems like a dedicated law enforcement officer who is trying to do things correctly as well as set a good example.

I can't remember how long it's been since Andy's death--long enough that Joanna is thinking about getting involved romantically again with not too many people being upset or surprised by it. I think Joanna worries a bit too much about what others think of her actions, particularly her in laws (who have conveniently taken Joanna's daughter on a vacation for most of this book).

I was disappointed that Joanna and Butch ended up sleeping together. They don't even seem to have a defined relationship, let alone a serious one (though they may move that way). The good news is that the sex is mostly implied and not graphically described.

I might read other books by the author if I come across them, but I'm not sure I'd go seek them out--hence my middle of the road rating. ( )
