Synopsis:
Sheriff Joanna Brady must solve two perplexing cases that may be tied together in New York Times bestselling author J. A.

In cleaning out her house, her daughter, Liza Machett, discovers a fortune in hundred dollar bills hidden in the tall stacks of books and magazines that crowd every corner.
Tracing the money’s origins will take Liza on a journey that will end in Cochise County, where Sheriff Joanna Brady is embroiled in a personal mystery of her own. A man she considers a family friend is found dead at the bottom of a hole in a limestone cavern near Bisbee. And now there is the mystery of Liza and the money. Are the two disparate cases connected? It’s up to Joanna to find out.
Author Bio:
A voracious reader, J. A. Jance knew she wanted to be a writer from the moment she read her first Wizard of Oz book in second grade. Always drawn to mysteries, from Nancy Drew right through John D. McDonald's Travis Magee series, it was only natural that when she tried her hand at writing her first book, it would be a mystery as well.
J. A. Jance went on to become the New York Times bestselling author of the J. P. Beaumont series, the Joanna Brady series, three interrelated thrillers featuring the Walker family, and Edge of Evil. Born in South Dakota and brought up in Bisbee, Arizona, Jance lives with her husband in Seattle, Washington, and Tucson, Arizona.

My review:
I just finished reading "Remains of Innocence", and J.A. Jance has done it again. Sheriff Joanna Brady has found another mystery to solve. Liza Machett is helping clean out her mother's house. She left her home as soon as she could and is now back. While she is working on throwing out the magazines and books in the rooms she finds hundreds of $100 bills.
While she is trying to find out how her mother got it all while living and forcing her children to live like they were destitute. While attempting to solve this mystery she meets Sheriff Joanna Brady and they realize that the cases might be tangled up. Wow, this was a great novel and full of suspense. I was hooked from the very first page. The novel is one that should not be missed by any mystery lover. I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book by Partners in Crime Book Tours and my opinions are all my own.
