The first book in the Kovac / Liska series. (Liska is the wisecracking one). Although, here, they are not the main characters: it's former FBI agent turned victim/witness Advocate, Kate Conlan and Special Agent John Quinn here battling a mass murderer who first tortures his victims, then anoints them and sets them ablaze.

Review of 'Ashes to Ashes' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Still one of my favorite authors; she creates interesting and surprising stories with unexpected – but not unbelievable "bad guys"! She paints personalities that are well defined but flexible enough to not be totally predictable. And I like the fact that not all questions are answered, but nothing is "left hanging". And I like that she doesn't let a single series drag on until anything unknown about the characters turns out to be an inconsistency. It's been too long since I've read a Tami Hoag book, and I think I need to go back to her.
