review 1: I found this book a bit slow to begin with, as there were so many characters to get my head round and the fact the story keeps switching back and forth between them all can be a bit mind boggling. Having said that I kept on going and was not disappointed, Barton has penned quite a mind-blowing and exhilarating read. Cathy’s husband a clergyman was murdered by a killer who set him on fire, then left him to burn. It took her a year to overcome his death which she spent in a mental institution. She comes out of the institute a year later, a changed stronger women who is going to get her life back on track and regain what she had. Which includes getting to know her son again, who was taken in by her husband’s in-laws while she was getting help. She is also reacquainted wit... moreh her first love Jackson (Jack) Perdue. Just as things are getting back on track for her, another clergyman is murdered in the exact same way that her husband was. At this point the police realise they are dealing with a serial killer, who they dub the Fire and Brimstone killer. One by one more clergymen are murdered. Each one covered in gasoline and set alight, causing Cathy to relive her past whilst continuing to rebuild her life with her son and Jack. I found the relationship between Cathy & Jack to be captivating and yet intoxicating at the same time, but yet fitted seamlessly into the book. Suspicion is rampant throughout the book, which made for in my opinion one heck of a true thriller that honestly got me hooked. I had my suspicions as to who the murder was, but it still left me guessing right until the end as to who the killer was. Unfortunately my suspicion was wrong, and was shocked to find out who actually was the Fire and Brimstone killer. A real page turner, and highly recommendable to anyone who enjoys a good thriller.
review 2: I really enjoyed this book. It really got me thinking. I liked the twist at the end. I hadn't thought of that and was seriously considering another person for the murderer. The book was well written and definitely a touchy but true problem that occurs but most don't like to address it. This book was also definitely a page-turner for me and I will most likely read it again. This was the first book in this series I have read and I want to read the rest now. It leaves me hanging but also concludes to an end. Enjoy less
