Murder by Fire

DI Hillary Greene, Book 10

Meet DI Hillary Greene, a policewoman struggling to save her career and catch criminals.

David Merchant's body is found in a bonfire in his back garden. David was a publisher and devout Christian. Who would want to kill this seemingly very decent man?

DI Hillary Greene faces one of her most puzzling cases as she struggles to find anyone with a strong motive to kill the pious publisher.

Then, as Hillary unearths greedy business partners and an estranged son, her focus is diverted when a new team member is targeted by a vicious gang.

Hillary's under massive pressure and will she finally crack? And if she does, where will she go from here?

"Wedding Bells Are Breaking Up That Old Gang..."
This time I was more entranced by the personal problems of Hillary and her supporters. Probably because I sniffed out whodunit early in the game. Don't get me wrong, even though I was not clueless this time the due diligence and amazing twists were great. It's just that the threats to some of the team members were more engrossing and the impending marriages and transfers are signs of changes coming.
Gemma Dawson is the voice actor who really brings even more credibility to the story.

Great mystery

This was one of Ms. Martins best- IMHO
The varied twist in the office, HG personal life and her staff are all supporting parts of the whole story!
Anxiously awaiting book 11

Love the series.

Great writing. Great narration. Want to hear the remaining ten books in the Hillary Green series.

Great characters

A very believable view of the workings and personalities in an Oxford police force. The plots are credible and complicated. An all around excellent series and I binged them all.

Great series

I love this series! Good mysteries and the characters are interesting. My only disappointment is that this is last book recorded in this series, I have taken to reading the rest of the series.
