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...?

Average thriller
It’s an okay crime thriller, nothing groundbreaking and it did not keep me on the edge of my seat. When the male narrator started towards the end of the audiobook it massively put me off because of his breathy narration, it’s so off putting and couldn’t hear anything else except these short sharp breaths every 5 seconds. I am hoping the rest of the series are more interesting/ exciting to listen to.

Really good story, well written
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!

Not anything like what the summary says
The story was not anything like what the summary on here said and on top of that it was very very boring, I could not get myself to finishg listening to it. Do not spend money in this.

Way too long
I’m glad I have listened to other books in this series. Had I not, I would have abandoned the series after this one. The story is disjointed, boring and twice the length it needed to be. Partly saved by excellent narration.
