DCI Shapiro is removed from duty pending an investigation into the way he handled an old investigation. His trusty team of DI Liz Graham and DS Cal Donovan are deeply involved in a serial arson case where the arsonist is setting bigger and more dangerous fires. Yet, they are also secretly digging to find evidence to clear their boss. Who is ultimately responsible for all this trouble is revealed in an interesting twist, although the action is a bit over the top. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReiheCastlemere (3)
A town the size of Castlemere might expect to see one major fire a year. When a derelict warehouse burns down just days after a blaze destroys Rachid's Eight-Till-Late, Detective Chief Inspector Frank Shapiro is worried. Either of the fires could have been accidental, but together they suggest an arsonist at work. A third, and fatal, episode confirms it. Helped by his enigmatic Irish sergeant, Cal Donovan, Shapiro investigates, well aware that any delay in making an arrest will invite further attacks. But before much progress can be made Shapiro is relieved of duty, accused of destroying vital evidence in an earlier investigation - evidence that would have spared an innocent man an eight-year prison sentence. Shapiro's closest colleagues, Detective Inspector Liz Graham and Detective Sergeant Donovan, are incredulous: the allegation wars with everything they know about a man they have worked for and respected for years. And yet the evidence can't be ignored. Liz and Donovan must embark on a race against time to clear Shapiro's name - if they can - and to track down a pyromaniac before he brings his career to a truly horrifying climax.

Much better than the previous two ( A Bleeding of Innocents and Charisma) Taste for Burning is a fine police procedural. The characters are coming along a bit and in this one, the solution is left until the end of the story. The action is a bit overdone, but still, Taste for Burning makes for a good story.
Recommended for those who like British mysteries; if you haven't read the first two,you may wish to go back and start there. People who enjoy police procedurals will perhaps like this one as well.
Overall, not bad and it's onto the next one. ( )
