Those who play with fire are going to get burned... Seven years ago Martin Chadwick set fire to a Manchester pub, not knowing a teenager was sleeping inside. Chadwick's release from prison is imminent, with journalists gearing up for a good old-fashioned media lynching.With the victim's father telling the papers he is out for revenge, DS Jessica Daniel is left to keep an eye on Chadwick and his fiery eighteen-year-old son.If that's not enough to keep her occupied, a private investigator is doing a fine job sticking his oar in, it looks like there's a schoolgirl suicide ring in operation, her car is working a little too well, and the endless rain continues to pound her northern home.Jessica's personal and professional life is in the balance - giving her barely enough time to focus on the person in her midst seemingly intent on burning everything to the ground.PRAISE FOR KERRY WILKINSON"A crime-writing colossus" The Sun"A strong voice..."

I haven't read any books by this author before. My problem was that this book is number five and I do prefer to read books in order. The actual book itself could quite easily be read as a stand alone. My issue when I don't read in order is that I don't connect with the characters. I like to know them and what is going on in their lives.
The story itself is police procedure and I don't always enjoy that type of book. It has to have either very likeable characters such as Tom Thorne in the Mark Billingham books or a gripping plot like some of the Roy Grace books by Peter James. This book for me had neither. Perhaps reading in order may have changed that for me.
I did find myself getting very bored very quickly with this book and I did skip some parts just to get to the end. A little disappointed with this read. ( )
