An exciting read with a very likeable protagonist. Contrived ending worked but was a bit of a let-down.

Readable mystery. Nothing special. Lots of repetition. Read it to get a sampling of Kellerman books. Competent writers, OK beach book but that's about it. ( )

The Burning is a story about twin brothers. One brother has a history of drugs, prison and trouble. The other brother is a police officer who discovers his brother's special prized car in the garage of a murdered man. The search of the brother to find out, "why" is the essence of the story. The search takes place during a terrible fire storm in northern California. It is a murder mystery that received four stars in this review. ( )

I would definitely recommend this book to those who love the male Kellerman's writing. But, unfortunately, it just wasn't my cup of coffee!

I have only read one or two books by Mr. Kellerman, but I do love his wife's writing, so I thought I would take a chance with this new series by him and his son.

It was an interesting premise and very up-to-date, what with all the wildfires burning out west right this minute.

I did not have a problem with not having read the previous novels in this series. However, I did have several issues with this particular book. One of them is that the storyline is extremely similar to a book by David Baldacci. A missing brother who had been in jail...The other issue I have is that the twist was so out in the left-field that I just couldn't believe it. No matter how I tried to suspend my disbelief, I just couldn't make it work.

Most of the characters are unlikeable for various reasons, and that just didn't add to my reading pleasure at all.

Again as I said with the first line in this review--I would definitely recommend this book to those who love the male Kellerman's writing.
