Order of J.P. Beaumont Books
J.P. Beaumont serves as the compelling protagonist in mystery novels crafted by acclaimed American writer J.A. Jance. This Seattle-based homicide detective anchors what became Jance's inaugural and most extensive series among her four distinct literary collections.
Several J.P. Beaumont mysteries feature Joanna Brady as a central character alongside Beaumont, which is why you'll find these titles included in both series listings. Jance launched the J.P. Beaumont series in 1985 with the debut novel Until Proven Guilty, establishing a long-running franchise that continues to captivate mystery enthusiasts. The following list presents the J.P.
