Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

A serial killer who wants to watch you burn.

The media call him The Burning Man, a brutal murderer who has beaten four young women to death, before setting their bodies ablaze in secluded areas of London's parks. And now the fifth victim has been found.

Maeve Kerrigan is an ambitious detective constable, keen to make her mark on the murder task force. Her male colleagues believe Maeve's empathy makes her weak, but the more she learns about the latest victim, Rebecca Haworth, from her grieving friends and family, the more determined Maeve becomes to bring her murderer to justice.

But how do you catch a killer no one has ever seen? And when so much of the evidence they leave behind has gone up in smoke. . .?

Engaging from start to finish. The performances were great. This was my first audio book and enjoyed it thoroughly. I found the quality/fidelity of the audio to be substandard - a little bit too compressed. It sounds like a low quality stream, to the extent that I thought it was an ai reading at the beginning - perhaps a criticism of audible and not the audio book.

A very enjoyable crime drama

A new author for me, recommended by my local book group. Some parts are hard to hear, but thankfully you can forward the book on Audible.

Brilliant

The crimes were interesting. The police approach methodical. The story was well written. I would put this author up there with J D Kirk, Rhys Dylan and Patricia Cornwell. Brilliant!

Really good story, well written

I loved this book, I have just purchased the 2nd in this series. The inky but that I didn’t quite believe was the towel but especially when she went up stairs before her colleague. A great first one in series though!

I enjoyed Meaves personality, this dud t show a core of steel!
