Liked It “A big, boisterous Italian family, a jerk set on vengeance, an arson investigator & the carpenter guy she falls in love w/. It takes place over Reena's first 30 or so years, but it utterly engrossing & fun. |
Didn’t Like It “At the end, the reason this plot extended over years was explained, but the book was much too drawn out for my tastes. Too much romance and not enough plot.” see full review » see other reviews » |

“The mystery behind the fires in Reen's life drives this plot. Throughout her life, fire has occured, first burning her family's restaurant, then killing her friends. I loved the mystery, but felt it dragged at some points. If you enjoy intrigue and suspense, try Blue Smoke.”

Yes | No“The blaze that night at her family’s pizzeria changed young Reena Hale’s life in more ways than one. Neighbors and relatives would pull together to help the Hales get through the crisis and rebuild. The Baltimore authorities would arrest the arsonist responsible. But as Reena gazed into the fire, beheld its brutal beauty and destructive power, her destiny began to take shape. She would study, struggle, and walk the gauntlet to understand and master its terrible force - and one day become an investigator herself. But she is not the only one fascinated by the flames. Someone else sees their power as well - and is obsessed not with conquering the fire but with controlling it, owning it, using it to exact vicious revenge… When Reena achieves her goal and joins the arson unit, her strength and wits are constantly tested. Though sometimes the job seems like a snap compared to her love life. One relationship after another has ended for her - some in tragedy or drama, some not with a bang but with a whimper. And she can’t always blame them - after all, a soot-caked woman barking orders and smelling of smoke isn’t the biggest turn-on in the world. Then she meets Bo Goodnight, who seems different. He’s been trying to find Reena for years, and now that she is close enough to touch, he has no intention of letting go. Nor does the man who has begun to haunt Reena’s life - with taunting phone calls and a string of horrifying crimes. And as Reena tries desperately to trace the origins - of the calls, the fires, the hatred aimed in her direction - she will step into the worst inferno she has ever faced…
