“Fire Angels” by Joseph Richardson tells the story of David Cooper and his friends and family in Walako, Florida. The novel follows them during the decade between 1915 and 1925. Town mysteries, strange deaths, the appearance of conspiracies, and a web of lies drive the plot. Through the novel, there is a strong undercurrent of ethnic and racial tension. At nearly 400 pages, “Fire Angels” appears intimidating; however, the pages just breeze by. Richardson’s writing is fluid and superb. He crafts an engaging story, well-developed characters, and immersive environment. The reader becomes so absorbed in the story that they are hesitant to put the book down, and this is a testament to the quality of Richardson’s writing.
“Fire Angels” is a well-crafted and well-honed story. It is a fantastic first novel for author Richardson and a surprising gem for the reader.
