One Day You'll Burn - Joseph Schneider
She read
This police procedural, a debut novel, is well written and highly recommended for those who enjoy this genre.
A badly burned corpse is at the center of this story, with the pursuit of a dog poisoner a secondary case. The LA homicide squad who investigates these cases is composed of some unique characters, including rookie Detective Tully Jarsdel, a former academic with an almost completed PhD in history. He is teamed with veteran detective Oscar Morales. This different slant on a police protagonist is refreshing.
An engrossing read, with strong and interesting character development, the somewhat macabre resolution of the case did not take away from my enjoyment of the book. It is anticipated that this is the beginning of a series, and I look forward to the next one.
