A Lovely Way to Burn
A Lovely Way to Burn | Louise Welsh
6 posts | 6 read | 7 to read
A pandemic called 'The Sweats' is sweeping the globe. London is a city in crisis. Hospitals begin to fill with the dead and dying, but Stevie Flint is convinced that the sudden death of her boyfriend Dr Simon Sharkey was not from natural causes. As roads out of London become gridlocked with people fleeing infection, Stevie's search for Simon's killers takes her in the opposite direction, into the depths of the dying city and a race with death. A Lovely Way to Burn is the first outbreak in the Plague Times trilogy. Chilling, tense and completely compelling, it's Louise Welsh writing at the height of her powers.

Murder mystery set in London, against the larger backdrop of a worldwide pandemic called ‘the sweats‘. Great start to a trilogy (Plague Times Trilogy)

This came to my attention thanks to novel cure twitter account. Set in modern London, a woman tries to solve her boyfriend's murder during a pandemic. Reminiscent of Winters' Last Policeman trilogy.

readordierachel Sounds promising! Are you enjoying it so far? 6y

This one had a promising beginning, but I started to lose interest about midway. The pandemic element was initially the star but took a backseat to a lackluster murder mystery that, since everyone is dying anyway, seemed pretty pointless. I just didn't care "whodunit" by the end.

Hm. It bothers me that this main character's "weapon" is, over and over again, her looks.

Monday night baseball practice with unpleasantly strong winds and this book to make me not really care about the weather. #absorbed
