A Killing Fire by Faye Snowden
4.0
Imagine being a black female cop in a small town police department. Now imagine your father is a convicted serial killer that took you along while he hunted. Many people think despite you being a child that you’re complicit in these murders. What I just described, that’s Raven Burns life.
Raven is living every day with her father haunting her. His crimes and his voice are constantly in her thoughts. Raven is unlucky enough to shoot a teenager in a park that was pointing a gun at her. Granted the gun wasn’t loaded but she didn’t know that. Raven falls under heavy scrutiny but is cleared of wrong doing by the department. Public opinion is something else entirely. Hazel Westport, a wealthy socialite is Raven’s staunchest critic. Unfortunately for Raven, Hazel is dead, victim of a brutal murder. Raven has to hurry to solve the case because someone is trying to frame her for the murder. They left her father’s calling card behind. Raven isn’t sure who she can trust, can she even trust her own mind?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters were well developed and Raven evolved so much. The backstory was well done and believable. There were plenty of plot twists to keep me turning the pages. The action began on page 1 and didn’t let up til the last sentence. I will definitely read more books by Faye Snowden!
