About this listen

'Perfect holiday reading' Clare Mackintosh

'A gripping story' Jane Casey

Once secrets catch, they spread.

Deadly fires are lighting up Brighton, and the latest case is alarmingly close to home for DC Eve Starling. The blaze was deliberately set, and a mother and daughter didn’t make it out of the smoke.

Eve’s investigation takes her deep into her own uncomfortable past. When her key witness disappears, and with the killer always one step ahead, Eve is desperate to solve the case – whatever the cost.

But Eve has no idea how close she is to the flames, and playing with fire can get you burned…

Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Jane Casey and Clare Mackintosh!

The Deadly Spark - thrilling twists & turns

Incredible first novel by this author. Kept me guessing to the very end. The main character has room to grow with sequels galore. Fabulous plot & penmanship. Well done Roxie Key.
