The Burning Air by Erin Kelly FIC Kel

 
      I have read several good books lately but this one made me put everything aside so that I could keep reading.  The story begins with Lydia writing in her journal as was her habit. This time, however, it is to write out a confession.  She needs to get it off of her chest even if no one ever sees it.  Lydia is dying, but she hasn't shared the news yet with her family- husband Rowan, daughters Sophie (married with children) and Tara ( an unmarried mother) and her son Felix.   It quickly jumps to almost a year after Lydia's death.  They are all gathering at the family's weekend home (a restored barn) for the first time since the funeral.  Their time together will be disrupted by a figure from the past who is convinced that Lydia was a murderer and who is intent on ruining the family after decades of stalking them.  Interesting characters and some twists along the way.  A good read!
