Fire Storm Book Review

FIRE STORM
By Mike Worley

Late one night, a resident of Santa Rosa reports that someone was banging on his front door and screaming for help. A raging fire which threatens homes and an armed robbery stretch police resources. Officers do not respond to the neighborhood until the following morning, when the resident calls again to report a horrific discovery. In the neighborhood, police find blood in several locations and what appears to be a gruesome crime scene. But there is no body and no evidence of the means of injury. 

When the victim’s body is located a few days later, identification is hampered. Angela Masters must sort out a mound of conflicting information to determine who the victim was and to identify her killer. By the time the victim is identified, evidence points to a serial killer preying on young girls. Will Angi be able to sort out the puzzle and, even then, will it lead her to the killer before he can strike again?

***MY HONEST REVIEW OF FIRE STORM***

How do you catch a demented killer?  You put Detective Angela Masters on the case. She has her own way of investigating to get results.

I loved Angi’s character. She was very believable in the way she thought things out. I could tell that the author is a former cop by the meticulous details of the case. I wasn’t sure how the wildfire was going to tie into the brutal murder, but when it finally did, I felt like the fire didn’t need to be part of the story.  To me, it was basically off-topic.

I also liked how the author added all the unspoken thoughts of a few of the characters, that and the small bit of humor. Of course this confirmed my thoughts also. I would have liked the author to include more reasoning for the crimes. I think that was cut too short. I will enjoy reading further Angela Masters’ Investigative stories.
