Why read it?

1 author picked Everyone Burns as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is an entertaining and addictive suspense.

I love characters that are quirky and unpredictable, and private detective David Braddock is just that. He’s a man battling with his past and bad habits, keeping the Chief of Police satisfied and solving the murders before he gets sidelined by his superiors.
