Why read it?

1 author picked Burn this Night as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

As with Kenna’s excellent, Shamus-nominated first novel, this one features the world-weary and tough P.I. Kate Miles as she tackles a new murder mystery—actually two murder mysteries, one old and cold, one new and hot. Very hot indeed, as the setting this time is an idyllic California mountain town plagued by wildfires. There’s heat, also, in the budding romance between Miles and local man, to whom she is powerfully attractive. Another fascinating and suspenseful P.I. tale from Kenna.
