Critics Review
Kelly’s most accomplished book to date … a gripping tale of secrets, revenge and obsession, masterfully done. - Guardian
An author in total command of the tensions within dysfunctional families … Gripping all the way. - The TimesKelly excels at thrillers set in middle-England idylls, that sidestep the cliched and the cosy to go for the jugular. [THE BURNING AIR] sees her reach another level. - Independent on SundayHer narrative choreographs a succession of hints, twists and revelations with elegance and precision. The novel is beautifully written and the characters have a dreadful plausibility about them that engulfs you in their untidy lives. Like all the best psychological thrillers, this one leaves the reader feeling mildly traumatised - and hungry for the author’s next book. - SpectatorExpect dark secrets and a killer twist. So thrilling, this book will have you sleeping with the lights on. - CompanyErin Kelly is a seriously good writer, and this gripping novel is her best yet. I really loved it - couldn’t put it down! - Sophie HannahIt’s not often I read a book where the twist is so surprising, I have to go back and work out how I missed it, but that’s what happened here … Brilliant and heart-stopping - WomanHer new book is every bit as dark and intriguing as her previous novels - BellaAbout The Author
