Review: CHAIN SMOKER by Bill Stack

Fires were running rampant. Who was setting fires in the inner city?
Sergeant Beth Nichols was training to be a fire investigator.
Writing was overall pretty good. I liked the strong female lead overcoming obstacles, barreling through political red tape, and proving to everyone what she was made of. Beth was certainly very smart and capable. It gets a little too technical in the hierarchy and protocols of the fire department, giving it a slight ounce of tedium every now and then. Still, it was interesting to see how arson was investigated. Story was not as titillating as I would’ve thoughts, but it was still a decent read.
My rating: 3 stars
