The Fire Killer

 


The Fire Killer by Ross Greenwood-Crime 

DI Barton is investigating a fire where a skip has been set alight and a body was found within it. Years beforehand a young man wakes to smoke and pulls his mother downstairs. His abusive father is still asleep. What transpires is more than arson- or is it pyromania? The latter may well prove a  far more complex case to solve than arson where the person generally has something to gain from the fire. The leads take the team to drugs and a possible country lines trail but what has this to do with the death in the skip?

I really enjoyed this and quickly got between the pages. There is a very clever plot line with a few twists thrown in that I wasn't expecting. DI Barton and the team are very likeable with good camaraderies and some appropriate humour thrown in. A little backstory to me always helps shape characters and the dog rescue was wonderful. Love Gizmo! A wonderful read that enveloped me and I soon came to care for the characters. A brilliant, exciting read.

The Fire Killer

When DI Barton is asked to investigate a seemingly innocuous fire that kills, he believes it's either children fooling around or a worrying racially motivated crime.

As he delves deeper into the case, he soon realises that there is a history of similar blazes spread out over many years, all within a close area. And after an idea is suggested by pathologist Mortis, Barton suspects he has the arsonist’s motives wrong. 

When a night worker comes forward with a tip, Barton narrows down the suspects. Yet all of them act suspiciously and he knows for sure that one or more of them are lying. And when a huge house blaze shocks everyone, Barton fears the killer has lost all control.
