A Lovely Way to Burn by Louise Welsh

2.0

This was suggested on a list of the best post apocalyptic books of 2014 but to me it was far more standard murder mystery than anything more interesting. The plague "the sweats" simply forms an eerie backdrop to Stevie's attempts to find the killer of her boyfriend. And who it is is no surprise. And she comes through victorious in the end, again no surprise. It was reasonably fast paced and well written so not a bad read but there's other, far better stuff out there.
