The Burnt House by Faye Kellerman

I'm a fan of both Faye Kellerman and her husband, novelist Jonathon Kellerman. I found him first and then started reading Faye Kellerman's novels. I have to admit I also love the idea of a husband and wife team of writers.

The Burnt House was as wonderful as Faye Kellerman's earlier novels. I love the mix of a bit of family story combined with a top notch police story.

A commuter plan leaving Los Angeles crashes into an apartment building and kills everyone aboard. When the bodies are recovered, there is no sign of one airline employee who was listed as being on board. There is however, another unidentified body. That of a young woman killed many years before the crash.

From New Mexico to San Jose to Los Angeles, the detectives chase the story and try to tie things together. Highly recommended if you like whodunits.
