I really enjoyed this. Action packed and great characterization, plus I loved Marc. Can‘t wait for the next book in this series!

I didn‘t know I‘d get regional history as well on this read. Interesting and curious, the author covers these crimes well. At times you cheer on the arsonists, the cops, and everybody between. Not as true crime as some prefer but thoughtful all the same

This true crime story of arson in rural Virginia started out strong. I was quickly brought into the story and wanting the backstory for the people involved.

However, as the story unfolds, I felt the writing became boring and the answers sparse.

It's an easy, quick nonfiction read, but I just personally found it lacking, especially in the courtroom scenes.

True crime!! A five-month arson spree that left a rural Virginia county reeling. Charlie Smith pled guilty to 67 counts of arson. But Charlie wasn't lighting fires alone: his crimes were galvanized by a twisted love story. So #maddening #maycharacters @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs

I feel like I‘m way behind on everything because my days are jam packed - including opening my mail

Between my demanding work schedule, and all the extracurricular stuff I have going on, I‘m exhausted and often overwhelmed. My ambition is eating my peace these days

This was such a nice surprise to get in my book mail. Thanks @rsteve388 I can‘t wait to check this one out!

rsteve388 Yay! Thanks for.participating in LMPBC 4y

This was an interesting read about the fires that occurred on the Eastern Shore of VA. Two lovers light a series of fires for a multitude of reasons..but mostly for love. Short easy read, Monica Hesse made the book feel like a novel so it was enjoyable and easy to follow.
