An unidentified woman is badly burned in a fire at an as-yet uninhabited development, which appears to have been set by ecoterrorists. Ali Reynolds is hired by the local sheriff to act as the public liaison after a department scandal, and she is sent to keep the press away from her at the burn center in Phoenix. Befrieding Sister Anselm, the burnt woman's advocate, they eventually discover her identity and then try to solve who tried to kill her and why. ( ) I have not read any other books by J.A. Jance and my question is, why? This book reads like a well put together mystery with an interesting story line. Other than the wonderful art of misdirection that mystery writers seem to be born with, there is no magic here. Just good writing. I became entangled with the characters and their various plights as soon as I met them. I also recognized most of the bad guys as being bad guys. All I had left to do was read what happened to them. So I did. It was an easy book to get lost in. I enjoyed the time I spent there and all along was rooting for my new friends. I have since realized this book is part of a series and now I guess we all know what I am drawn to do, don't we? Yes. I will go find the others and read them as well. You should too. Very enjoyable read. I wasn't too sure going into this book. I almost gave up on this series, but this one brought me back in. It follows Ali Reynolds, a former LA anchor and blogger, as she takes on a new job as Yavapai County Sheriff's Office's new media relations consultant. Working with the police, she gets pulled into a case filled with arson, art theft, and attempted murder. This book completely does away with cutlooseblog, Ali's signature blog, and it was hardly noticeable. I felt it made the story better. Ali is growing into quite a character and I can't wait to see what's next. A fire erupts in two houses being built outside the city limits of Casa Verde, Arizona. When the volunteer fire department arrives, they find a woman in one of the two houses. She is not a squatter, she didn’t set the fire, she is nude and her clothes are missing. ATF is involved because the fires are believed to be set by ELF, an eco-terrorist group. Sister Anselm, the nursing sister who is been caring for the fire victim, and with the help of Ali Reynolds, police media representative, is trying to identify her and prevent a possible second attack from occurring. I sat down and read this book in one straight period, I simply could not set it down. It is a suspenseful mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat all night. This is the 4th book in this series but can be read as a standalone novel. Now, I am going to read all the series. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
