The Burning is a very good debut of the Maeve Kerrigan series. Maeve has the stress of being a female detective in a mostly male police force. Bob Langton develops a personal interest in Maeve as her relationship with Ian is falling apart. Four women have been brutally murdered and set on fire by the Burning Man. 5th victim is Rebecca Haworth and Maeve is determined to bring her murderer to justice even though she doesn't have much evidence. Book is cleverly written with interesting characters told by 2 point of views. Ending was a complete surprise. I'm looking forward to reading the next in the series and I highly recommend this book to those who love psychological thrillers.
