I bought this HC book at Animal Humane thrift store

FROM DUST JACKET: In the heat of the Arizona desert, a raging fire pushes temperatures to a deadly degree, and one woman is left to burn. Pulled naked and barely breathing from the fire, the victim has no idea who she is, let alone who would do this to her - or why. In her hospital bed she drifts in and out of consciousness, her only means of communicating a blink of the eye. Sister Anselm shows up. She is an advocate for unidentified patients. Ali Reynolds is on the scene as the new media relations consultant for the Yavapai County Police Department, keeping reporters at bay and circumventing questions about arson and a link to a domestic terrorist group called Earth Liberation Front. But her job quickly becomes much more. As Ali struggles to help Sister Anselm uncover the helpless woman's identity, they realize that by locating the missing relatives they may be exposing the victim once more to a remorseless killer determined to finish the job. Faced with the possibility of putting all three of their lives in jeopardy, Ali fearlessly pursues justice - and what she discovers is a secret even darker and more twisted than she ever could have imagined

I like J A Jance because her stories take place in Arizona and I recognise some of the places she mentions

May 2019 - I love J.A. Jance but I didnt think this was one of her best. Possibly because I don't find books about arson interesting. The plot had a lot of complete silliness - The media gal decides to tell the FBI guy she will be riding along on the FBI helicopter to the crime scene, just because she has the most modern laptop...Really??? Also an annoying nun character who suggests the media gal buy a wig and wear it. I still really don't get the wig part. The plot just seemed a little nutty. It was still a good read. I would rate it a "5" out of "10"

I put this book in the mail to a BC friend for a LFL

The book arrived safely on this rainy day; many thanks! [I love the many handsome New Mexico postcards as well!] It's from Jance's series about a media relations consultant for the county police department, an unusual choice of profession for a mystery series - though I suppose she's closer to actual policework than the caterers and knitters who become sleuths in other series!

The burn-unit setting comes with some heart-wrenching scenes, and the poor victim - who's barely survived the fire, and suffers severe burns - gets even worse news on top of that. Not to mention the little problem of someone trying to kill her...

I left this book in this charming miniature-house Little Free Library; hope someone enjoys it!
