Review: A Killing Fire

A Killing Fire A Killing Fire by Faye Snowden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Detective Raven Burns lived through a childhood no one should suffer: at five her father brutally murdered her mother, later her stepmother and many in between, using Raven as both distraction and as a magnet to attract victims. After a stellar several years in the New Orleans Police Department, she returns to small-town Louisiana as a Detective, summoning her NOPD partner as well (who just wants to leave law enforcement and open his own restaurant).


Raven can never eradicate her past-- or her murderous parent--from her psyche and an inexplicable death (How? Who? Why? Is it murder?) teases out clues referencing her father, long since executed on California's Death Row. Raven walks a fine line between revealing and concealing her own secreys, new evidence, and her growing suspicions of those she has trusted, till her mind is a pressure cooker roiling and primed to erupt.
