Former smokejumper, now arson investigater, Bri Tucker knows her way around fires. When mysterious blazes start leaving a trail and taking lives, Bri has more questions than answers. She teams up with ATF agent Marc Davis to solve the puzzle and uncover the truth, before more harm is done.
It has been a long time since I have read an Irene Hannon story and I was excited to give her another try. The story caught me right away. I was pulled into the mystery, actually there are two. What I was not a fan of was two things. One, the author names the arsonist relatively early on. As a reader, I didn’t get the surprise factor of who was behind it. Also, I was not thrilled of the fact that the author uses a medical diagnosis (only mentioned once) as the reason behind the acts. It felt like an excuse for the person’s actions and I was not okay with it.
Did this overall experience leave me with a bad taste for all books from Ms. Hannon? No. In fact, I do plan to try book two in the “Undaunted Courage” series. I just hope Ms. Hannon uses a little more discretion.
