About this listen
When mysterious fires begin plaguing the little mountain town of Big Lake, Arizona, it doesn't take Sheriff Jim Weber long to realize that a serial arsonist is on the loose and has to be stopped before somebody dies or the entire forest goes up in flames.
With the help of C.C. Callahan, a beautiful Deputy Fire Marshal, the sheriff begins the hunt while dealing with an upstart newspaper publisher hell-bent on smearing his good name and ruining his reputation.
As the fires continue, fingers of blame are pointed and everybody in Big Lake wonders whose home or business will be the next to burn.
One reviewer has referred to the Big Lake mystery series as "Mayberry Meets Twin Peaks."

Story
When an armored car hijacking leaves two men dead, Arizona Sheriff Jim Weber takes the crime personally, because one of the dead men is his brother-in-law. His hunt for the killers leads him into a world of sordid sex, deceit, and violence, with a suspect list that includes jilted women, a family of anti-government survivalists, and the beautiful wife of the richest man in town. With a plot that has more twists and turns than an Arizona mountain road, a cast of characters you won't soon forget.

But when a road construction crew unearths the skeletons of three murder victims, John Lee suddenly finds himself on the trail of a killer who may well have died long before the deputy was even born.

Sober for fourteen years, Hank took pride in his hard-won sobriety and never hesitated to drop whatever he was doing to talk Cody off a ledge.

Different Narrator
While my wife and I love Nick Russell's books, this narrator doesn't work for us.
All the characters were deadpan, what was supposed to be snappy dialogue fell flat.
And all the female voices sounded like they were bored to tears.
Loved the story, though.

Fires
I like that Archer continues to provide much appreciated comic relief. lol. Fires, arsen, coverups, but boy I didn't expect this. It's kinda sad about Sam. I was suspicious about the villain, but the lenghts of that greed were unconscionable. I'm glad an innocent man wasn't framed, he had enough problems. smh. This was emotional and sad for me. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job with voices and expressions bringing it to life.

Didn’t care for the narrator. I really enjoyed the first five books, and their narrator. I was a bit distracted by the new person.
