What do You think about Injustice For All (1990)?
I love Jance’s writing and characters, but J. P. Beaumont is my least favorite. I guess Jance writes different characters for different tastes. Beau is a bit of a jerk in this book. I listened to the audio version and the reader makes him jerkier by being belligerent instead of gruff. Anyway, once again, Beau is a babe-magnet. He follows screams on the beach during a vacation and finds a beautiful woman who found the murdered body of her friend. Even though he is on vacation, Beau becomes involved in the investigation and, of course, the beautiful beach babe clings to him like Saran Wrap, until she is murdered. Beau knew the woman for a day or two, but he mopes about how important she was in his life and acts as if he knew all about her life. That aside, Beau invades the investigation and redeems his jerkiness in the end.

In this second novel in the series, Seattle Detective J. P. Beaumont is still with the Seattle police, still drinking, and still irresistible to gorgeous younger women who are fatally attracted to him. Having inherited what appears to be a multimillion dollar fortune (as well as a red Porsche and a superb personal attorney) in Book One, recently widowed Beau spends a week at an island resort trying to get over his loss. Naturally he encounters another femme fatale and another serial killer, this one with political connections. Bolstered by his ever-present MacNaughtons, he sets out to bring to "injustice for all." Since this book is written in the first person from Beau's point of view, male readers like myself will find it interesting to learn what the female author thinks is going through a man's mind during Beau's all too explicit sexual encounters.
