Smoke by Catherine McKenzie

5.0

I want to thank Catherine McKenzie and Netgalley for an advanced copy Smoke. The story is a week in the lives of Elizabeth and her ex-friend Mindy in their mountain town of Nelson.. Elizabeth left her job as a firefighter to be a local arson investigator and to try and save her marriage. Mindy is a housewife who feels disconnected from her family and is trying to fit in with a new group of friends. A mysteriously lit forest fire threatens the homes of Nelson. When Mindy's son is accused of starting the fire, Mindy and Elizabeth work to find the truth. The book has several unexpected plot twists. It is the story of trust, forgiveness, friendship and the love of family. A must read!
