Serial Burn

Lake City Heroes, Book 3

By: Lynette Eason

Narrated by: Lauren Pedersen

When Jesslyn McCormick was just seven years old, a devastating house fire killed her parents and two younger sisters. Now the fire marshal of Lake City, Jesslyn is determined to find the person who started the fire that robbed her of her family. As the twenty-fifth anniversary of her family's deaths approaches, a string of fires—including at Jesslyn's church—brings up all those old feelings and offers new evidence.

Because church fires are considered a hate crime, FBI Special Agent Nathan Carlisle is called in to work with local law enforcement. Nathan has his own past—one he'd prefer not to revisit. And focusing on helping Jesslyn track down the arsonist is a great distraction.

As both the case and the chemistry between Jesslyn and Nathan heat up, memories will come flooding in from the past to bump up against hopes for the future. And when Jesslyn comes face-to-face with her worst nightmare, she'll have to confront her fears and rely on Nathan and her community of friends in order to survive.

Lake City

This was the first book I’ve read by Lynette Eason and it won’t be the last.

Persistence

Great story that reminded us to seek God for guidance in every aspect of life. The story involved solving the Juslaine’s family. Juslaine, with the help of her friends and Nate, has a harrowing adventure to solve the current string of fires.

“Unfaithful”

JWright
Lynette Eason has produced another page turner in this third book of the Lake City series. The reader is attempting to solve the mystery of the arsonist who is destroying buildings in the community. This mystery intertwined with the heroine’s objective of finding justice for her family’s deaths.
The identity of the antagonist is hinted, but not revealed until the “blazing” ending.
The only criticism is the narrator for me.

Closure

Lynette Eason is one of my favorite authors. She sets fire to the pages of this book as the arsonist sets fires all over Lake City. This is book three of the series but can stand alone. You will find it a richer experience if you read each one in order.

Amazing conclusion!

What a blazing finish to the series! Lots of arson here, but who is setting them? Why? Firefighters and FBI fight to solve the mystery before our leading lady perishes! There’s a little romance, lots of suspense, and a faith theme too! I love it and the whole series! You should read the books in order if possible.
I enjoyed the narrator too!
