- I'm a big mystery book fan and I've read several of J.A. Jance's books. I particularly like the lead character in her Arizona stories, Sheriff Joanna Brady. Sheriff Brady has to cope with the problems of juggling family and personal life while serving as the local Sheriff and solving crimes. The author also tells us the benefits and shortcomings of daily life in a desert--how beautiful and dangerous the landscape can be in all seasons, bringing Arizona alive for us who aren't familiar with it. J.A. Jance's books are a good read!
And, Dave, it's OK for you to describe J.A. Jance's Books in More Detail.... as long as you don't give away the 'ending'! :)
