Birds of Prey

A J. P. Beaumont Novel

By: J. A. Jance

Narrated by: Ron McLarty

A survivor of childhood trauma, two marriages, twenty hard years with the Seattle P.D. and the bottle, Jonas Piedmont Beaumont has spent far too much time trolling the darker waters of human nature. In the wake of a devastating professional tragedy, he has decided, at long last, to pull the pin. But there is no safety in semi-retirement for a man who, long ago, chose to make a violent world his home.

Temporarily at leisure, Beau has agreed to chaperon his newlywed grandmother on her honeymoon cruise to the Gulf of Alaska. But Beau's brief idyll is abruptly shaken when a security videotape shows a passenger taking a fatal fall overboard. Like it or not, the burden of investigating a heinous crime is once again on his shoulders. Adrift a thousand miles from home, J.P. Beaumont has suddenly found himself submerged in a terrifying conspiracy that, if allowed to proceed unchecked, could have disastrous consequences, not only for Beau and his shipmates, but for the future of the world they all hope to return to.

I love J.P. Beaumont books. Have read them all. This is my first recorded one and it will not be my last!

Missing Gene Engene as narrator.

J. A. Jance has written another excellent story--BUT--It is hard to listen to another narrator. The voice of J.P. Beaumont is still Gene Engene in my brain. Ron McLarty did an excellent job --it sadly isn't the same.

enjoyable!

fun to hear about all the things we did on an Alaska cruise too. made you feel a part of it. Almost.....

This book is hard to review. I liked the book and Ron McLarty did a good job narrating this book. But I've listened to the first fifteen or so and Gene Engene narrated all of them so far and I'm used to his voice. I had a hard time getting wrapped up in the story with the change. The story was good but I've got mixed feelings about it. I'll try another one. I do highly recommend this series. J.P. is one of my favorite series. Ron McLarty did do a good job narrating this book . I really liked his voice on Lars. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you.

Great story has a lot of interesting characters.

Author does a good job giving you background into each of the characters and keeps you guessing til the end.
