One of them has killed before.
One of them will kill again.

In the sweltering summer of 1997, straight-laced, straight-A student Karen met Biba – a bohemian and impossibly glamorous aspiring actress. A few months later, two people were dead and another had been sent to prison.

Having stood by Rex as he served his sentence, Karen is now married to him with a daughter, Alice, who runs a vintage clothing company in London.

They’re a normal family, as long as they don’t talk about the past, never mention the name Biba, and ignore Alice’s flashes of dark, dangerous fury.

Karen has kept what really happened that summer of ’97 hidden deep inside her. Alice is keeping secrets of her own.

But when anonymous notes begin to arrive at Alice’s shop, it seems the past is about to catch up with them all …

‘Full of duplicity, doppelgangers and dead girls’ dresses, The House of Mirrors delivers a white-knuckle ride as a murky past creeps up on the present. I don’t think I took a breath until I found myself screaming my way through the crescendo’ ALICE SLATER
‘I love an Erin Kelly book! The worlds she creates are so rich and alive’ JANE FALLON
‘When it comes to deeply involving, twisty thrillers, Erin Kelly is in a league of her own.

The House of mirrors is a magnificent mystery that begs to be read in a single sitting but deserves to be pored over slowly, every word savoured. Possibly the finest thriller you’ll read all year’ CHARLOTTE PHILBY
‘Erin Kelly is quite simply one of the best crime writers around. The House of Mirrors is a totally absorbing story of family secrets, omissions and outright lies, with unforgettable characters and settings.

It is impeccably plotted down to the very last line. I loved it’ JANE CASEY
‘An electrifying thriller’ WOMAN’S OWN
