Description
The eleventh book in the Sunday Times-bestselling Inspector McLean series, from one of Scotland's most celebrated crime writers.
The charred remains of an elderly woman are discovered in a burned-out game-keepers cottage, hidden away in woodland to the west of Edinburgh. Clearly no accidental fire, Detective Inspector Tony McLean suspects that neither is this simply a grim arson attack. There is far more to the victim than her humble surroundings might suggest, and something ritualistic to her horrific murder.
Nor will it be the only case of death by fire that Tony and his team will be faced with. This is only the beginning, and with such evil clouding the air, Tony begins to wonder what else will burn . . .

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. I have liked everything this author has written and this was no exception. Great storyline, great characters. A thoroughly enjoyable read which will have you hooked from the beginning

I've been reading this series during lockdown so it was nice to be able to finish off the year with the 11th book- thank you for granting me my wish.
I enjoyed What Will Burn as much as the rest of them. Tony McLean's still going strong.

Another excellent story in the McLean series. He returns to work after suspension to be I for by his new boss Gail that he has been demoted. He is faced with the mysterious death of an elderly lady . The cast of well portrayed characters investigate what turns out not to be an accidental death the ramifications of which lead to the investigation and unearthing of the lives of the wealthy, an unscrupulous lawyer and the past of Gail, the new deputy chief constable. As ever with This author the occult features adding that little ‘bit of difference’
