Review title: Very disappointed
Product review: After reading two of Billingham's previous three novels ( Lazy Bones & Scaredy Cat) the Tom Thorne novels were right at the top of my 'cop series' list. I had high expectations of this one because of how good those two were. To say that I was disappointed is an understatement. Billingham really did not seem to know where he wanted to go with this one. Is it a gangster book or a serial killer mystery? And where does the 'burning girl' of the title fit in? The banter and investigative wit that was evident in the previous novels were totally absent here. Thorne and co. barely seemed interested in the case (or cases) they were supposedly working on. Definitely a blow to the Tom Thorne novels.
