About this audiobook
“The Arizona desert comes to life in the mysteries of J.A. Jance.”
—Arizona Republic
The New York Times bestselling master of mystery and suspense, J.A. Jance—whom the Chattanooga Times ranks “among the best, if not the best”—brings back her enormously popular series protagonist, Cochise County Sheriff Joanna Brady. With Judgment Call, Jance achieves a new high in crime fiction, as Brady wrestles with her conflicting roles of law officer and mother when her daughter discovers the murdered body of the local high school principal, and the ensuing investigation reveals secrets no parent wants to hear. At once a breathtaking recreation of the rugged landscape of the American Southwest, a moving story of a mother’s concerns for her endangered child, and thrilling masterwork of brutal crime and expert detection, Judgment Call is prime J.A. Jance, a treat for anyone who loves a good cop story wrapped around a superior family drama.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was an excellent story, outstanding characters, in depth plot, and surprising twists and turns! I loved it!!!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5decent book and kept me glued for hours, BUT the audio cuts out at some pivotal parts towards the end and i missed some key details! i tried to replay those sections but each time i did, they cut out at the exact same spots. very frustrating. quality control, scribd!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5As man who read these reviews are aware I do not do spoilers or encapsulated narratives, but merely give my personal take on the book and whether I enjoyed it or not, according to my own peculiar set of peccadilloes. This book is no different.
Interestingly the plot is unique, fast paced and grabs the reader. The story is an interesting balance of yin and yang between the sheltered reality of being raised in protective and comforting wealth and facing the harsh, brutal and mean spirited reality of poverty and hard life in the streets.
One gets the feeling there is a lot of the writer herself in these pages since her bio matches up well with that of the character (or perhaps more loosely than it appears).
One personally annoying aspect is that nearly every major character is a smoker. I know this is a small thing, but I don't really see the need to include that detail. This might not bother you but every time I got engrossed in the plot there would be a long diversion in to the editors unfiltered smoking or the reporters return to smoking..just a personal annoying quibble that does not significantly detract from the quality of the plot too badly.
It was an interesting and fast paced novel and I'd be curious to see if the writer can break her mould she has established for this character if there is a sequel.
A good relaxing and amusing read that I would recommend.
