A terrifying arsonist is terrorizing Edinburgh in Torch, the second novel in Lin Anderson's forensic crime series featuring Rhona MacLeod. It's Edinburgh, Scotland, days before the biggest New Year's party in the world. When Karen, a young homeless girl, dies in a case of suspected arson, her friend Jaz sets out to avenge her death. Faced with similar cases in Glasgow, Dr Rhona MacLeod heads to the capital to establish whether the string of attacks are linked. Arriving as festivities begin to get under way, Rhona starts her investigation and is confronted by combative Severino MacRae, the city's chief fire investigator. As the attacks escalate, it becomes clear a ruthless individual is behind the fires and has threatened to strike again at Hogmanay. While Jaz begins to uncover what happened to his friend, Rhona and MacRae must work together in a desperate attempt to locate the fire starter before any more people die . . .

This is the second book in the series, but definitely not as enjoyable as the first. I feel the book is a touch on the short side, and because of that it felt rushed. I feel the book needed fleshing out more and for the characters to be more 3-Dimensional. Until the end there wasn‘t much about Rhona and again this just needed more. I hope there is a bit more depth to book 3.

This is the 2nd book in the series. An arsonist is terrorizing Edinburgh. A young homeless girl dies in an attack. Dr. Rhona Macleod is called in and meets chief fire investigator, Severino Macrae, who is hot-tempered and doesn't like to lose face. There are more attacks and the arsonist begins to be infiltrate their personal lives and their work. This was a fast-paced interesting plot and a quick read.

EadieB I'm looking forward to learning more about Rhona and her past. If you like gritty crime thrillers then you will enjoy this series. 3y

The second book in this intriguing series. Rhonda travels to Edinburg to help out with a case. A young homeless girl has been killed with fire. There is someone very sinister out there torturing people. I enjoyed this book. It‘s fairly short and compact, and goes straight to the point. It‘s enough for a good story and developing of Rhonda‘s character. Recommended

EadieB Nice! A quick read! 3y
Tove_Reads @eadieb I think read it in 90 min. 3y
