A review by l_berger
The Burning Island by Hester Young
3.0
I received a ARC copy of this book from Penguin First to Read in exchange for an honest review.
This is the third book in the Charlie Cates series. I have not read the predecessors. You do not have to read the previous two to appreciate and follow this novel.
Although I enjoyed the overall mystery, the setting, and the plot twists of The Burning Island, I did predict a few of the pot twists and I felt a lot of the characters’ discussions were heavy with exposition, which got a little tedious.
I did enjoy this book and felt the plot was riveting enough to keep the reader guessing.
