A little bit thriller, a little bit mystery, and a pinch of romance, D.K. Janotta's first work is a brilliantly crafted thrill ride that proves that Janotta is a master of suspense. With strong characters and an original plot, The Girl Who Put Out the Fire is a homerun.From the very first page, Kari Erntemann is a strong and unique female protagonist who is endearing to readers, but always remains a little bit of a mystery wrapped in an enigma. At the beginning of the story, we find her looking for a story and looking to understand her recent breakup with the love of her life, Jerry. Soon, Kari finds herself playing the role of mentor to Anton von Flamberge and on the heels of a story investigating illegal immigration and corrupt business practices.Kari sets out to research her story and find Jerry and winds up tangled in a web of corruption, secrets, and mystery. The plot is full of wonderful turns and is a ride that will make you seriously hesitate before putting this book down for even a second because you'll be so immersed in Kari's world.Overall, The Girl Who Put Out the Fire is an incredibly promising first work by Janotta that will hopefully be the start of a wonderful career.
