Reviews

'Kelly's monograph is to be welcomed [...] for subjecting the formal and ideological dimensions of this variegated literary corpus to systematic, theorized investigation. This absorbing [...] study of the 'Troubles' thriller genre significantly expands the critical frameworks within which contemporary Northern Irish fiction can be read.' Modern Language Review
