About this audiobook
Dr. Harmon Gettys is the perfect man: tall, dark, handsome, and brilliant. He’d seemingly be a catch for any woman—especially those who desire an apparently charmed offspring. But Gettys uses his seed for murder, to create a legacy of violence.
For Fire Marshal Greymon Gift, gruesome burn-related murders are nothing new. But a sudden spike in his jurisdiction has Gift on high alert. When an FBI investigation links multiple arson scenes to the deceased Dr. Gettys, Gift is pulled even deeper into a case that’s hot enough to start a conflagration. He knows that even if Gettys were alive, such an assortment of violent crimes could never be committed by just one man. So who is spreading these horrors from coast to coast?
Gift and FBI Agent Rose Cleary partner up to stop the growing number of savagely murdered victims, but can they uncover the truth before they wind up on the list of the dead? Extended Family offers a thrilling look into the heart of darkness. Horrifying and suspenseful, the novel explores the idea that evil can be passed like a torch from one generation to the next. As Gettys proved—and Gift is about to find out—sometimes all it takes is a spark to set the family tree ablaze.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5
The prologue was promising, from then on it was tough going. Don't get me wrong, the plot was okay but too many 'secrets' were quite obvious. The end held no surprises for me. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Raymond Gift is a fire marshal after an accident saving a young boy from a fire left him with a head injury. He's covering for a friend when he is called to the scene of a grisly murder where the body has been burned to hide the evidence. This is only the tip of the ice berg as he and fellow FBI agent, Rose Cleary, race against time to find what appears to be a serial killer before he or she stikes again. Fast paced but a disappointing end and far-fetched ending.
