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.

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

Narrator ruined the story

I found the story to be confusing and convoluted. There were way too many side stories that didn't seem to bring anything of relevance to the story.

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.

Great story! Vocal performance could use a bit of inflection

I just can’t get into this story. Maybe I’m just not listening carefully, I don’t know. Too many characters for me. Too confusing.

Can’t do it

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.

Terrible narration

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.

Worst book I have listened to on audible

Couldn't keep listening to narrator. He speaks in a sort of monotone. Had a really hard time, couldn't finish the story

I listened to this whole book and I am very disappointed. I kept thinking that it'll speed up and get interesting but it did not. I'm not even sure what the point of the story was suppose to have been or why.

Not a good read
