Elinor's Reviews > The Burning

Is there such a category as chick mystery? Chickstery? The protagonist Maeve is a young police detective dealing with workplace sexism and a complicated personal life as she hunts for a serial killer, The Burning Man. I liked the book and will round up to 3.5 stars. However, it doesn’t rank with the greats like Michael Connelly. The murderer was caught without much effort on Maeve’s part and I never felt the thrill of the chase. Nevertheless, I like this genre and will read another book in the series to see if it picks up.
