Smoke by Catherine McKenzie

After a decade-long career combating wildfires, Elizabeth has traded in for a quieter life with her husband. Now she works as the local arson investigator in a beautiful, quaint town in the Rockies. But that tranquil life vanishes when she and her husband agree to divorce, and when a fire started in nearby Cooper Basin begins to spread rapidly. For Elizabeth, containing a raging wildfire is easier than accepting that her marriage has failed.
For Elizabeth’s ex-friend Mindy, who feels disconnected from her husband and teenage children, the fire represents a chance to find a new purpose: helping a man who lost his home to the blaze. But her faith is shattered by a shocking accusation. 
As the encroaching inferno threatens the town’s residents, Elizabeth and Mindy must discover what will be lost in the fire, and what will be saved.

Review: I was given a copy of Smoke from NetGalley for an honest review and this is my review. I found this book very interesting. I also enjoyed the style that was used to tell the story. Being told by two different narrator's perspectives who were at one time friends and had totally different things at stake with the outcome how what happens with the fire and the investigation into the fire was very interesting.
 The character of Mindy who was telling the story as a mother who was worried that her son had something to do with starting the fire to me evolved the most throughout the book. I like how she started out a bit broken because she lost her best friend but by the end she was a strong progress fighting for her son and trying to prove that he was not the one who started the fire that did so much damage to the area surrounding the town their family lived in.
As for Elizabeth, the other character whose perspective the book was told from I felt that she was on okay character but she did not impress me all that much. She seemed to have had it all but she was not satisfied with it so she wanted to escape her marriage was looking for excuses to explain away why things were not going her way. To me she was a bit annoying and could not accept things as they were and had to look for the next thing that may explain it a bit better or may make it a bit more exciting. Elizabeth was an adrenaline junkie who needed her next fix it felt like and I did not like that about her.
 I really did like the storyline for the most part. It did drag on a bit in some parts but for the most part it was pretty good and it kept you wondering how the fire really started until the end.
 I am giving Smoke four out of five stars.
