Publisher's summary
It's the middle of a sweltering late-summer heat wave in Los Angeles. In the nearby mountains, a seasonal wildfire burns out of control. If not for this fire, authorities might never have discovered wreckage of an Alfa Romeo convertible - or the body of the car's driver - in the dense underbrush at the bottom of Topanga Canyon. But when firefighters happen across the crash site while battling the nearby blaze, it's only a matter of time and basic forensics before the apparent accident is upgraded to homicide. Gregor Tavlin, a southern California celebrity fitness guru, has been murdered. As far as anyone knows Tavlin had no enemies. And the closest thing to a suspect in the case has disappeared.
Such is the spark that touches off Burn.The fire requires only fuel.
And everybody has their flash point.

It was one hell of an inheritance for former Chicago reporter Tom Coleman: a broken-down pickup truck, ramshackle campground, a canoe livery - and one pot-smoking, barely working employee he doesn’t need, doesn’t want, and can’t afford. But the truth is, after losing a child and a marriage, Tom doesn’t really care.

Story
Matthew Worth is a mess. Somewhere between a good cop and a bad screwup, he botched a marriage and a career. His fellow officers think he’s a joke. His commanders are tired of cutting him breaks. Even his wife has left him for a flashy homicide detective. Busted to night patrol at a robbery-prone Omaha supermarket, Worth is doing time, wearing his uniform and asking shoppers if they want paper or plastic. If that isn’t enough, he suspects he might be falling for Gwen, the shy checkout girl who may be an even bigger mess than he is. It couldn’t get any worse. Until it does.

If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

The narrator was not good. He mispronounced Spanish names and sir names. His cadence was very awkward and difficult to tolerate.

Great mystery and wonderful characters. Unfortunately Basil reads the story like you would read a random article from the newspaper. Flat, dull and with very little expression.

It’s a toss up
A tremendously busy story with lots of loving parts. It was a struggle to follow it at times. Many subplots, tangential issues and diverging story lines make for a book that requires your full attention to keep track of who is who. I must admit I had to go back a few times to remember who this person is and how he/she fit into the general arc of the story.
The protagonist - such as he was - was a disappointment in some aspects. I thought he would have done more to shape the ending of the story, but alas. The author gradually wrote him out of the story towards the end. Would I recommend it to others? Sure; especially if you like mystery with little action or edge of your seat suspense.

Terrible narration
I enjoy Sean Doolittle's books immensely. this narrator, however, read so horribly that I found it impossible to follow the thread of the story. Short, staccato bursts of words with all the wrong inflections, an so slowly! I got through it after several false starts, figured out the gist of the plot, but cannot recall any specifics accurately because I find the narration so repulsive, it couldn't hold my interest.

Worst book I have listened to on audible
The storyline was hard to follow, it jumped all over the place, you never knew what was happening & you didn’t know the characters & how they fit into the story. I was confused from the very beginning. I didn’t want to give it 1 star, but I couldn’t submit without a rating.Thank God it was free or I would have requested a refund.

Damn, should've read the reviews (No Spoilers)
No spoilers because I couldn't get past the first 45 minutes... good Lawd, I've documented narrator's names in the past to look up other books they've narrated. NOT THIS TIME... this time it's to ban him!
Definitely not keeping.

Narrator gave me a headache
This might be a good story, but I couldn't listen to the narrator. I gave it 45 minutes but his voice is like an ice pick in my ear. Too bad; might have been a good listen.
