About this audiobook
J.P. Beaumont's teenaged daughter Kelly has run off - and her tracks have led the sober-but-struggling sleuth to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. But in addition to one very headstrong offspring, there is something else waiting for Beau: a case of cold-blooded murder. The victim is an acquaintance, a sleazy, rival private eye, brutally butchered, supposedly by the Festival's current young Juliet...though Beau has his doubts. But the Second Act is about to open with a second corpse and a touch of kiddie porn - leaving Beau center-stage in a heart stopping tragedy of revenge, deception and death.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It had a plot that was full of twists and turns with a mix of danger and excitement, empathy and anger. All the time one felt safe in the hands of Detective J.P. Beaumont a very warm and charismatic hero. I am looking forward to listening to more of these books.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Found another great series to sink my lit teeth into. Enjoyed the style and had a hard time putting the book down.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This intricate plot seems to go in one direction and then veers off into another. Beau’s runaway daughter has been found by her step-father’s detective, and Beau goes after her, right into the midst of a Shakespearean town with plays. He is confronted with one surprise after another, and it will take him some time to wrap his mind around it all. And then, an accident (or murder), is followed by another murder, and yet another accident, this one involving his daughter. It was nice to see the interaction between all the family members - Beau, his ex-wife and her current husband, and Kelly and her fiancé. The mysteries are great, but so is reading about the relationships and friendships in this series. The characters seem almost real, and seem like people you wish you knew.
