All She Burns

Red is a compelling protagonist. . . a fast-paced thriller that grips from the first page. Assured and powerful - a scorching debut!

Unique, bold and shocking. This sharply written and fast-paced thriller will draw you in and not let go till the final page. Sensational.

I adored Red so much. Spiky, cynical and with a soft heart underneath it all. She's my favourite kind of flawed protagonist - utterly compelling . . . This book (and series) has such a tasty premise and it delivers beautifully with a twisty plot, stylish writing and a well-drawn cast of believable characters. Charlotte's assured and slick debut is an exciting start to this scorching new series.

It's a wonderfully twisty tale and I raced through the final chapters. Charlotte writes such compelling, fluid prose it is easy to be swept up in the story. The subject itself is fascinating and scary in equal measure. There is something mesmerising about fire, and Charlotte captures that fascination perfectly. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

A scorcher of a debut that burns with tension from its opening pages. This series has such an original hook which is executed brilliantly - I'm already impatient to read the next instalment. It is twisty and propulsive. . . a real page-turner!

Charlotte Essex has created an original and unforgettable detective. All She Burns is an utterly riveting story. The novel puts us right inside Red's conflicted head, and it has the driving pace and dramatic momentum of top-drawer crime fiction - it crackles and snaps with jeopardy from start to finish.

Tightly plotted with a protagonist who leaps from the page, All She Burns lights up from the first word. Raced through it. Loved it.

A super impressive debut. All She Burns gives so much more than its terrific hook; with layers of complexity and a masterclass in the sympathetic flawed protagonist - I was rooting for Red right from the beginning and thinking about her long afterwards. What an original, emotional, propulsive read. I inhaled it!

What an incredible debut! Red is a wonderful character, in a series that is destined to run and run. It's taut, it's slick, it's brilliantly researched and it's everything you could want in an origin story. Utterly smokin' and thoroughly brilliant!

At once an enthralling study of obsession, trauma and guilt as well as a furiously page-turning manhunt thriller.

A red-hot debut. I raced through this page-turning twisty tale. All She Burns is a fiery cat-and-mouse story that will grip you from the very start. I loved it.

A compelling thriller which had me truly gripped. Red is a memorable, fiery investigator with true main character energy and the arson details were as mesmerising as staring into a bonfire. It's great!
