Hidden in Smoke - Lee Goldberg

She read
Veteran arson investigator Walker and his fairly new partner, former US Marshall Sharpe are back in action chasing down arsonists. Both Walker and Sharpe, nicknamed Shar Pei because of his uncanny resemblance to one, are unique characters, a bit unconventional, but full of wit and intelligence. Best of all in this book, they have some opportunities to team up with Eve Ronin, a detective from one of Goldberg’s other popular series of which I am a fan.
With a few storylines, this is a fast paced thrill ride. I really enjoy the humorous wise cracks throughout the book and the relationship between the partners .A bit over the top at times, it is an entertaining read. An added bonus is insight into the investigative process involved in arson.
This series is a unique take on crime fiction/mystery/thriller. The third installment, I did read and enjoy the first two. Although characters from a previous story appear, this would work as a standalone.
Thanks to #NetGalley and #ThomasandMercer for the DRC.
