Firestorm by Nevada Barr

5.0

Working as an emergency medic for a remote fire camp, Anna and the half crew become trapped up a mountain in California when a forest fire becomes a firestorm. Forced to take refuge in fire shelters (pop up aluminum tents), they emerge after the fire has passed to find one of their number murdered. Everyone is a suspect (except Anna) as crews below work to clear the road up, helicopters grounded by weather and some in the camp suffering severe burns with little to no resources.

I found this an excellent read. I’ve enjoyed the previous Anna Pigeon novels, but this one, with the trapped setting, was even better.
