Book 5 in Detective Delaney Pace

Embers that have been simmering underneath the surface, forever, finally ignite and burn brightly in the 5th Delaney Pace book!
Finally, the author gave me what I’ve been impatiently waiting for!!!!!
Set against the backdrop of Wyoming fires, Leo and Delaney have to solve who is skewering women with swords!
The read is medievally menacing
I thought Kat was being a horse’s dear end and needed to shovel manure to cool her jets.
The nosy reporter and Adriana are both very annoying and I was about ready to make firebreaks out of both of them!
I have come to expect excellence in this series and once again Hutchins delivers! Tres bien!!

Book #5 in the Detective Delaney Pace series finds our detective battling fires as bodies begin turning up in the ashes. There are a few continuing story arcs that move forward in this book, including a possible complicated romance with Sheriff Leo. Delaney's niece and nephew are settling into the community, letting her worry less about their futures. Now she just has to figure out who is killing women with swords and fire.

My thoughts:
Well, can I say I need some good news about Delaney and Leo???? I really, really, really need something to give with their relationship!
So, this is another good installment in the Delaney Pace series. Delaney and Leo are trying to stop anymore single young women being murdered.
A gripping, suspenseful story for fans of this type of series. Reading the previous books in the series should definitely be done. There is so much backstory to all the characters.
I have to say, I was kept guessing to the end of the book. Which is always a plus in any book I read.
Looking forward to the next book in the series.

In this 5th book in the series, Deputy Investigator Pace and her partner, acting Sheriff Leo Palmer, hunt a killer as a wildfire rages in the hills outside Kearny, WY. Delaney is also still fighting her feeling for Leo, especially since starting a relationship with him could imperil his chances in the election to permanently fill the Sheriff's position. A fire relief worker stumbles across the body of a young woman in an abandoned farmhouse, pinned to the ground with a broadsword. Leo thinks he recognizes the victim from an online dating site, but their attempts to identify her run into multiple roadblocks. When a second victim is found on the same property, they worry they may have a serial killer on their hands. The atmosphere is tense, between the ritualistic nature of the killings, the backdrop of a wildfire threatening the community, and a reporter's insinuations about Delaney and Leo threatening Leo's bid for Sheriff as well as Delaney's relationship with one of her adopted daughters, who has a big crush on Leo's nephew. If you haven't read the previous books in the series, you can read Her Burning Lies as a standalone but you'll find out how some things in the earlier books turn out so I would suggest starting with book 1. The characters are multidimensional and likeable, and the plot is action-packed and suspenseful.. I devoured this book in a day!

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this awesome book

theres a wild fire raging out of control but its the murdered victim found with a sword through her that has delaney worried......

who could the victim be and why would someone kill them like that.....

but thats not the only shocking thing....leo can identify her, he was suppose to meet her the next day for coffee on of his hook ups from a dating app....

but when the second body turns up with a sword through them thats when delaney and leo realise they have a serial killer in town and with the fire getting closer time is running out

oh my word this storyline is gripping and nasty in so many ways.... but its ohhh so good.... red herrings abound but when the killer is finally revealed its shocking in the extreme.....

man this author can certainly write a good book cant wait for the next one in this series

Another fantastic Delaney Pace novel. Great writing that hooks you in all the way from beginning to the end. Immersive characters with fulfilling back stories. Plenty of suspense to keep me enthralled. All you could possibly want from a mystery. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to review it.

This is a very good mystery series, with a whole load of suspense thrown in and complete with an original plotline. I really like the developing characterisation, especially Delaney and her feelings for Leo. I like the setting of small town Wyoming and I really look forward to reading the next in this ever improving series. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

It is wonderful to be back in Kearny, Wyoming with Deputy Investigator Delaney Pace, Sheriff Leo Palmer and her adopted daughters - Carrie and Kat. While the town is preparing to beat back a wildfire out of control, a body of a young lady is found with a sword in her. This sets off a chain of events for both Leo and Delaney in the hunt for the killer! Shortly afterwards, a second body is found so now Delaney and Leo have to up the ante in finding the killer! What links the women? How are they connected? Who is the culprit? Who has taken Delaney's friend Clara? Get set for an explosive storyline with twists and turns that leads to tense ending.

Gripping, shocking, mysterious, and thrilling! Her Burning Lies delivers a scorching hot mystery for Detective Delaney Pace to solve! A wildfire raged thorough Kearny County leaving destruction in its path. A body which had been stabbed, has been found in a burned farmhouse. Sheriff Leo Palmer recognizes the dead woman from an online dating site he has used! When another body is found, having been stabbed by a silver sword, Delaney begins to wonder if there is a serial killer on the loose in Kearny County. Whew! With a fire raging, and bodies being found, the team was up against both mother nature and a killer. When Maggie's close friend, Clara Eckhardt, goes missing, Delaney will do whatever it takes to find and bring her friend home!

Brimming with tension, danger, dread, and suspense Her Burning Lies, kept me fully invested and turning the pages! I have enjoyed this series from the very beginning (Her Silent Bones) and love the balance between Delaney's personal and private life. She has been raising her Neice, since her brother and sister-in-law were killed in an automobile accident. Plus, her chemistry with Leo is off the charts and I have been rooting for them the entire series. I love their scenes and the simmering interactions between them.

This book had me turning the pages and trying to figure out the identity of the diabolical killer. Thankfully Delaney and Leo are better detectives than I am! This book was brimming with danger, suspense, and thrills. Wonderfully written, well thought out, intense, gripping and hard to put down! I can't wait to read what happens in the next book in the series!

Wow! This one blew me away from start until finish. So many twists and turns that keep you guessing in a good way! This series has been phenomenal and I'm so happy I found it. This one is the best yet.
Delaney is such a great character. Her and Leo make the best team. The chemistry between them has been fun to watch. I cannot wait to see what this series goes.
Thank you Netgalley for the chance to read this book in turn for my honest review.

I've somehow missed the earlier books in this series but no matter- this was fine as a standalone. Detective Delaney Pace and Sheriff Leo Palmer might have a serial killer on their hands, a villain who is going after single women. There's a fire, there's a sword, there's danger, And there's Delaney's personal life which includes her adopted kids. All this mayhem in Wyoming might be a bit over the top but the storytelling is good. Thanks to Netgalley for the Arc. A page turner,

this novel had just the right balance of personal and case story telling. we get to know more of Delaney's life not least the new care role she has to get to grips with. and also in this case she has her own connection to a missing woman who could be the books serial killers next victim. add to that they are facing terrifying wildfires and this all amps up the tension and pressure of the book, you are kept by both your love for detective Delaney and the current story line. i really enjoy it when you have a series and or set of characters that you find true joy in coming back to. this is definitely the case in these books. and this one isnt without Delanays more personal tensions.
this book is surrounding murdered woman who appear to be connected by being on dating apps. one of which is recognised by Delaney's colleague. the woman are found having been stabbed by a sword.
Pamela is so good at balancing both light and dark and building tension. it also add to how you get involved with the story line simply by getting you invested in the characters. it keeps you guess through every new turn and reveal.
the wildfire was a very real and added plot point. and makes you realise the workers especially in the police or care work have to work through all and many situations that make what they have to do even more urgent and harder. this was depicted so well in the book.
this is a book and then series you will look forward to and wont mind settling in for the evening with.

Detective Delaney Pace has many balls in the air. She is the mother of two adopted daughters who seem to find trouble, her job is never boring, and she is in love with her boss, Sheriff Leo Palmer who happens to be up for reelection. Of the three, her job is probably the easiest to handle; however, that is about to change. With wildfires threatening the town, a body is found in a destroyed cabin. She is pinned to the ground with a large silver sword, but that is not the biggest shock. Leo recognizes the woman as someone he met on a dating app. With a Renaissance fair in town, the possible source for the sword seems obvious, but nothing is as it seems. As the case develops with another body, questions arise about one of Delaney's colleagues and a friend; it is an exciting and fast-moving investigation with a surprising ending. I am anxious to read what happens next for Leo and Delaney!

This book has excellent characters, dialogue and setting, as well as an interesting plot. The problem is the storytelling with the jumping around in time, suddenly chapters with first person POV, and the retrospect turns out to be a misleading as well.

A masterful intertwining of the series characters stories and a mystery, as they search for a killer.

I am loving this series. The ongoing character development has me returning to catch up on what is next for Delaney, Leo and co, add to that an engaging mystery and it has all the ingredients for a great read.

In book 5, Her Burning Lies, the team are dealing with major fires, a trafficking ring, a medieval festival in town as well as a killer leaving young women murdered and pinned by authentic swords. With a colleague going missing, others coming under suspicion, this book will have you wondering just who is involved with what. While you can get a sense for who the killer is in terms of their connection and motivation for what is going on, determining who they are, well, that is another matter completely.

Delaney is teaching her daughter Carrie to drive her semi named Gabrielle which has hay on it for the farmers needing help due to the wildfires. They arrive at the staging area to find that a dead body has been found in the abandoned house. She immediately transitions to detective mode and begins that delicate balancing act of figuring out who the killer is while also taking care of her family. She and Leo dig into mystery and find themselves dealing with multiple threads of investigation going in a variety of ways. Add in the political pressure on Leo as he is running for Sheriff against Joe who is a deputy in the department and is intent on causing trouble for Leo in the media as well as the wildfire raging around them. It is an intense read that leaves you wondering what will happen next. There are countless distractions and directions that are pulling at Delaney and Leo so the times flies when you are reading as there isn't a good stopping point until the end.

Had my attention from start to finish… I couldn't put it down and finished it in a day. Can't wait for more from this amazing author What an absolute cracker of a book!!!… sucked me straight in… absolutely addictive page turner… absolutely absorbed me… Book 5 in the series which just keeps improving book by book!

While a massive wildfire is threatening homes and property in Kearny, County, WY, Detective Investigator Delaney Pace, and Sheriff Leo Palmer battle their feelings for each other while on a hunt for a serial killer who is murdering young women in a horrendous manner. Another winner for this series! Anxiously awaiting Delaney’s next exploit. I received an ARC from NetGalley, and the opinions expressed are my own.

This is my first Delaney Pace book and now I can't wait to read more!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc in exchange for an honest review!
