5.0 out of 5 stars I love her books 26 Jan 2013
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I first discovered this author at a book shop and when I got home I researched on line to find that the book I saw was the 10th in the series about Maggie O'Dell a detective. I ordered the first book and then I was hooked. I now own all ten! Great characters and the stories are so different to each other. I would compare her to the books James Patterson wrote in the begining but alas doesn't anymore. Long may M. O'Dell live and reign

3.0 out of 5 stars So-So 26 Feb 2013
By Papatwo
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have read all of the Maggie O`Dell series and once again Alex Kava has written an interesting tale. But, it now feels like an artist painting by numbers. None of the characters have developed in any way for that last 3 books at least. The introduction of Maggie's brother is another strand but nothing is happening. She investigates, gets her `man` and gets hurt in the process. I really hope this is a temporary blip because the author has proved she is a brilliant thriller writer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Alex Kava - Fireproof 22 Feb 2013
By molko VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
This is Alex Kava's 10th book featuring FBI profiler Maggie O'Dell. This time around O'Dell is joined by other regular faces of the series Julia Racine and RJ Tully as they all work together to hunt down a serial arsonist who is targeting seemingly random buildings in the city. As the fires escalate the heat kicks up as bodies start turning up at the scenes as well.

I've been a fan of Alex Kava since her first book 'A Perfect Evil (MIRA)' which was truly enjoyable, and while many of the following books in the series weren't really up to scratch, it seems Kava has found her voice within the genre over the last few years and has produced a string of fast paced, entertaining thrillers. 'Fireproof' is relentlessly paced and plotted so much so as to rival that of the prolific James Patterson's Alex Cross series. I'd recommend this one as a standalone but if you haven't already then i'd also point you in the direction of Kava's back catalogue. The only thing making me hesitant to award this 5 stars was that i guessed the culprit fairly early on and that the ending leaves the story open for a follow up which left me slightly annoyed that the full mystery wasn't all tied up in one book. Needless to say I'll be first in line for the hardback copy of her next book 'Stranded (Maggie O'Dell)'.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too straightforward 10 Jun 2013
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I like Alex Kava's books as they are full of twists and turns. This I found disappointing. It is a straightforward investigation of an arson with a sort of subplot of 2 dead bodies unrelated to the arson. I guessed straightaway who the arsonist was and the subplot never got going as it will obviously be dealt with in the next book. In fact this seems to be a theme throughout. Her boss starts to be almost nice to her, her thoughts about a relationship seem to be changing but none of these are explained any further. It's as if this was written as an introduction to the next book.
For new readers this is a decent procedural but a bit simplistic and not very typical of Alex Cava's writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a scorcher ! 15 April 2013
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is Alex Kava back to her best. Her last couple of books have lacked a punch, but Fireproof proves Alex can still write a great thriller.
