One Little Spark
One Little Spark | Ellie Banks

Before the fire, it was the perfect place to raise a family. An idyllic community where neighbors knew one another… or so they thought. Jenna Abbott’s life went up in flames even before the fire started in Tenmile, Oregon. She was still coping with her husband's affair—and the revelation that he got a much younger woman pregnant—when the fire finally died down, and Ryan was among the missing. Chelsea Goddard still can’t explain how her estranged husband got back to Tenmile from out of the country the day of the fire, and she also can’t shake the nagging feeling that the secrets they’ve kept between them for the last twenty years might just be the tinder that made it all burn. Morgan White knew getting involved with a married man was wrong, even before she got pregnant. She might be the only one who knows the truth about some of Tenmile's leading citizens…but people would have to stop treating her like a pariah to hear it. Alex Coleman doesn’t remember anything from that fateful day, why she was found wandering on a rural road or why she has dreams of standing on scorched earth, holding a book of matches. For four women, when the flames finally burn out, what’s left behind will be even more devastating than the fire itself…

I know this author and was here when the Almeda fire tore through our region, so I appreciated the setting and the imagination in this story.

Most of the chapters were titled "Kindling" or "Afterburn" to designate whether the events occurred before or after the fire.

I think I would have preferred to read this in print because the audiobook made it difficult for me to keep track of who was who.

All in all, though, an enjoyable mystery/thriller.
