Partner in Crime, by Judith A. Jance

MYS Jance
Recommended by Susan Groytyahann

Veteran mystery writer Jance merges her two popular series in this unusual title. Sheriff Johanna Brady of Cochise County Arizona has a brutal poisoning on her hands. When it turns out the victim was in Witness Protection through the Washington State Attorney General’s Office, things get complicated. J.P. Beaumont, formerly a Seattle PD Detective and now an AGO investigator, is sent to Bisbee to “assist.” Beau is the hero of Jance’s other series, and at first Johanna fiercely resents his intrusion on her turf, as well as his supervisor’s lack of cooperation. Sparks fly as these two dynamic, headstrong investigators match wits with each other and the murderer. A tour de force that can be read independently of either terrific series, but is more fun with an early title or two from each to draw on.
