Jennie McGrady's enthusiasm for the new school year is extinguished when the culturally diverse Trinity Center home to her church and school is destroyed by fire.

Jared Reinhardt has been in counseling with Michael, trying to break free of a neo-Nazi group or so he claims. Jennie would like to believe him, until she spots Jared slipping away from the scene of the fire-

Carlos Hernandez was present when the fire broke out and hasn't spoken a word since. His father, the church janitor, is a prime suspect, and Jennie is convinced that the boy's silence stems from fear. Is he protecting his father, or has someone threatened to hurt him if he tells the truth?

Jennie smells foul play among the remains-

This review is from: From the Ashes (Jennie McGrady Mystery Series #10) (Mass Market Paperback)

I am mad at Patricia Rushford. The way she handled the situation of Susan's (Jennie's mom) marriage was very lame. She took the decision away from Susan of who she should marry. The way that Michael's sister handles the situation is also ridiculous. I would have never done what she does! But I don't want to give anything away, so I won't go into detail. Although there are some flaws with this book, it should have been the ending to the series. The ending to the series was worse than this one was. It was obvious to me that this was going to be the end, but Patricia was making too much money to end the series and start a new one.
