    About this ebook

    When Tahoe Detective Owen McKenna's cabin narrowly escapes burning in an arson-set forest fire, the local fire department hires him to investigate. More fires follow, and people die in each one. Before Owen can close in, the firestarter kidnaps his girlfriend Street Casey. Owen has just hours if he is to save Street before she burns up in a fire so big that firefighters call it a BLOWUP.

      Second in the series, McKenna and his great dane Spot are a formidable team in putting the pieces together and nailing the bad guys. In Blowup, the bad guy waits for the perfect alignment of drought, dead or dying timber with hot temps and a powerful wind to produce a deadly firestorm.
    • 5/5
      We start with a fire just below Owen McKenna’s cabin. After narrowly escaping, Owen learns that this was planned. A note was sent to the fire department saying that this was in retaliation of forestry fire procedures. We then learned that Jake Pooler was killed in the fire. He has a reputation of being a ladies man, having a bad attitude, being severely in debt, and not being the most popular person in Truckee. When another note is received, everyone is on pins and needles. Although they try their best, two houses are burned like the note said and another life has been claimed, Joanie Dove. The trouble is Owen cannot figure out the connection between Jake and Joanie. Then Owen starts receiving notes, calls, a burned stuffed dog, and muscle to keep him away from the fire investigation, he goes on alert. But when Street is kidnapped, all bets are off.I love the Owen McKenna series. There is great suspense. I’m always on my toes and when I think I know who did it, it turns out to be someone else. I loved how the story was wrapped up. I am now on the hunt for the rest of his books. This is one mystery series that you will want to read.I received this book for free from Book Rooster in exchange for an honest review.
