In this "deeply satisfying" thriller, Detective Betty Rhyzyk is up against a string of mysterious assassinations, an increasingly reckless partner, and her worst fear—desk duty—when she decides to go rogue . . . heading straight into the dark underworld of Dallas's most dangerous drug cartel (The Washington Post).
2021 Edgar Award Nominee—G.P. Putnam's Sons Sue Grafton Memorial Award
Not much can make Detective Betty Rhyzyk flinch. But when forced into therapy, a desk assignment, and domestic bliss following a terrifying run-in with an apocalyptic cult, she’s having trouble readjusting to life as it once was. At home, she struggles to connect with her loving wife, Jackie. At work, someone has been assassinating confidential informants. To make matters worse, Betty’s partner seems to be increasingly dependent on the painkillers he was prescribed for injuries he sustained narrowly rescuing her.
Betty’s at the point of breaking when she decides to go rogue, on a chase that will lead her to the dark heart of a drug cartel terrorizing Dallas, and straight to the crooked cops who plan to profit from it all.

"Gripping . . . Briskly paced, The Burn barely allows the reader to take a breath as believable twists careen throughout."—Oline Cogdill, Associated Press

Christie Moreau was excellent as the narrator. Her gritty voice brings to life Betty's pain, hate, fear, anguish, and even love. Clearly we are one with her - in her skin. Her change of voices pulls out the many character personalities which makes the story come alive. I especially like her portrayal of Dawn Rose and feel I can picture her perfectly. Her voice has full reins on our emotions, from sheer terror to tender, soft-spoken love.
I was captivated by both the author and the narrator and would highly recommend this book.

and it was telling us about her first Contact As A Beat cop with a cult. the person that deals with Cults and it gave you a premonition. or for shearling of what the first book. was going to be about dealing with cults the second book. again does the same thing and gives us a foreshadowing of her childhood. and we get a sense of what the book is going to be about and the prologue was about betrayal and I thought that was set up very well so once I caught on to that I got Shivers and from the first chapter it was nothing but non-stop for me
now here in order the book left us off with the covering character. I can't remember her name at the moment but the character is at a point now at the end of the book where hopefully. she's ready to tackle her trauma. and try to get her life back she has a life kind of like now. at the end of the book kind of set in the priorities. that it was supposed to be set in I'm so I'm looking forward to the third book. and I do got some not like stuff that took place in this book.
for the things I did not like was the narrator's perpetrator of some of the voices. including the main characters voices that. if you read the first book is a different narrator the first book.
I absolutely love with the narrow. did in the first book which was give everybody their own voice for example. the uncle when the protagonist was thinking about her uncle. if he said it's something even through the flashbacks. in the first book he had his own voice which was a Gruff voice it was a masculine voice to sound.like someone who smoked or drink very heavily. and you can tell by the way he talked even. in her thoughts and she will hear his voice he had his own voice.
in the second book the narrator. did not do that it just kind of stayed the same which threw me off because. I enjoy hearing different tones of voices. coming from each character. and it just it messed up the whole dynamic. of the story to me. if I did not focused long enough on the voices i would fine. but I had to try not to pay attention to the voices and trying to pay attention to the story if that makes sense. without going deep into the voices because. cuz it took me out of the story.
now for the rest of the males voices I have to admit the rest of the males voices sound like preteens. like her partner for example in the first book he had an accent to him. but in the second book he had a high pitch tone he sounded like a preteen to me. and all the rest of the male characters that was supposed to have this bad ass or just like tougher to them sound like teenagers to me.
I'm not sending the performance was bad. to the point where. I couldn't listen to it no. but because I listen to the first book. in the first book had already set the tone for what these characters was going to sound like. this other narrator take on the character's voices messed up. compared to the first narrative done in the first book. so I just would have preferred at the same narrative from the first book.
rate the performance of 3 hopefully. didn't like the characters voices rest of the performance give it a Solid 4. storyline I give it a Solid 5
the first book narrator of a deep voice. and I like that voice better in the way she went out the character.she gave them their own voices even though this was a first-person story. we still got to know the other characters because. they had their own voices and that's what I liked it that way still one of my favorite books.
l love but
