Fire Damage
by Kate Medina
I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Life is full of strange coincidences, and I happened to get hold of a copy of Medina’s Fire Damage right at a time when I’m reading up about psychology and thinking of further study options. It made this book a particularly interesting. After all, a crime thriller centring around a psychologist is pretty much on theme for my brain at the moment.
And it’s an enjoyable read, and Medina cleverly strings together the various storylines into a neat conclusion. It’s fairly pacy, covering a range of really quite dark issues – from PTSD to child trauma, among others which I won’t go into to save you from spoilers. I could have done with some of the characters being a little more filled out, but perhaps that’s the nature of the starter book to a series.
Overall, not a bad way to spend a few hours at all.
Favourite line: “Death softened the hard lines of people’s faces, turned men back into boys.”
