Book #35 Fire Damage

Fire Damage by Kate Medina
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Riveting. A humdinger of a murder mystery and the first in what is to be a series that follows army psychologist, Jessie Flynn as she seeks to uncover the truth behind the traumatic experiences of a four-year-old boy. Flynn is a complex, not always likeable heroine, still suffering from a traumatic experience from her childhood which has shaped her life and her relationships. In many respects she reminds me of DI Helen Grace and that's not a bad thing. Fire Damage contains a great plot that must have involved a good deal of research by the author, very satisfying as the threads inexorably come together. The fast pace of the final third of the book really racks up the tension. Great stuff.
