Betrayal of Trust by J. A. Jance

I listened to the audio book from Jance's series featuring J.P. Beaumont (now working in a Special Homicide Unit. He and his wife Mel are called to the Governor's mansion. The Governor actually went to school with J.P. - although they hardly ran in the same circles. She found a video on the cell phone of her husband's grandson. It appears to be a snuff film - the victim a young girl being strangled by a blue scarf. A similar blue scarf is found in the boy's room. Obviously this is ....well too obvious! The boy denies everything -but then he commits suicide. There is a lot going on in the book - family relations, modern technology, and missing kids. As a side story Beaumont is doing a lot of reflecting back to his own childhood. He has been contacted by a woman who claims to be his cousin. Although he longs for a family connection he is not rushing into a meeting until this case is over. It was a good mystery - as are all of her books.
