3.0 out of 5 stars Beaumont needs a job!, 26 April 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Birds of Prey (Hardcover)
For 20 long years, Beaumont has investigated the darkness of human hearts. In his latest adventure he accompanies his grandmother (who is in her 70s) & his AA sponsor (he's even older!) on their honeymoon cruise up the Inside Passage to Alaska.

Beaumont's expecting a few weeks of being pampered &, after he realizes he's one of the most eligible bachelors on board, being pursued. He sets sail with a degree of optimism unusual for him, & then one of his ardent pursuers disappears.

Beaumont is an old friend & as much as I like his life & trials, he needs to get a job! His retirement from the Homicide Division of Seattle's Police is not making full use of his skills.

Beaumont's erstwhile powers of observation are muted by the chorus of other characters & I felt let down with the ending.

Even though Beaumont is now squeaky-clean, I was glad I read BIRDS OF PREY. If you've never met him, I do encourage you to find J. A. Jance's first books about her most famous policeman when he was a rough boozer, a vital force in his department & everso much more interesting!
