The Burning by Jane Casey
Meh. Pretty standard fare police procedural. Young detective out trying to make a name for herself. Her name is Maeve. I started out with this series hoping it was set in Ireland due to the fact it's by an Irish author. But it is set in London and Oxford. Slough House author Mick Herron lives in Oxford so I'm getting to know Oxford pretty well.
There is a serial murder loose killing woman and then burning their bodies. Detective Maeve goes in to investigate the latest victim and finds there are subtle differences to this death. Is it possible there is a second copycat murderer out there? Of course. Is it the other narrator in the book? The odds seem to be pointed in that direction. It wasn't a very tricky puzzle to solve

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
