The Burnt House” By Faye Kellerman


Review #146
A Lt. Peter Decker & Rina Lazarus Mystery

A commuter plane careens into an apartment building and bursts into flames. Forensic teams searching for passenger remains are unable to find evidence of one woman, Rosanne Dresden. Instead, they find what's left of someone else…someone who apparently died several decades before. Rosanne’s husband claims she was aboard the aircraft. Her father says she was not and believes her husband has killed her. L.A. Lieutenant Peter Decker faces not one mystery but two.

Will he ever find out what happened to Roseanne Dresden so that her parents can have a sense of peace? The airline she worked for is not giving out any answers, and while questioning those who knew her, many different versions of events are coming to light. The problem is, there is no evidence to back any of it.

As for the unidentified woman…Just how do you solve a crime that could have happened anytime in the last 30 years? Especially when the remains are so fragile that even the slightest attempt to use normal methods of ID will turn the evidence to dust.

Love Faye Kellerman books. This is no exception!
