Description from Goodreads:
"Once secrets catch… they spread…
Deadly fires are lighting up Brighton, and the latest case is alarmingly close to home for DC Eve Starling. The blaze was deliberately set, and a mother and daughter didn’t make it out of the smoke.
Eve’s investigation takes her deep into her own uncomfortable past. When her key witness disappears, and with the killer always one step ahead, Eve is desperate to solve the case – whatever the cost.
But Eve has no idea how close she is to the flames, and playing with fire can get you burned…"

This is a solid debut from yet another good British author that I am looking forward to reading more of.
The story-line is told from different perspectives and in past and present timelines which I found a little confusing as I was listening to the book rather than reading it; I definitely think it would have been easier to follow had I been reading an actual book. The plot was engaging and the characters were well developed, especially Eve, and they are pretty likeable and relatable. The pace was a little slow to begin with but it ramps up as the story moves on when the tension and suspense increases.
Overall, a decent police procedural with a good narrator who kept me engaged even in the slower parts and I must thank the author, HarperCollins UK Audio and NetGalley for enabling me to listen to and share my thoughts of The Deadly Spark.
