ReviewsPraise for A Slow Fire Burning : "A Slow Fire Burning is a hugely satisfying, brilliantly crafted novel about the entanglement of betrayal and retaliation, the damage of loss, and how tragedy reverberates in ways we can never expect. Wickedly dark and gorgeously written, this is a novel you'll be thinking about long after the last delicious pages. Paula Hawkins is masterful." -- Ashley Audrain, New York Times bestselling author of The Push "With a beautifully wrought cast of characters who are real and likeable even when they are complicated and flawed, a fantastic, picturesque London setting, twists and turns galore and exquisite prose, this is a high class read.

TitleLeadingA
SynopsisAN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The scorching new thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Girl on the Train. " A Slow Fire Burning twists and turns like a great thriller should, but it's also deep, intelligent and intensely human." - Lee Child "Only a clairvoyant could anticipate the book's ending" - New York Times With the same propulsion that captivated millions of readers worldwide in The Girl on the Train and Into the Water , Paula Hawkins unfurls a gripping, twisting story of deceit, murder, and revenge. When a young man is found gruesomely murdered in a London houseboat, it triggers questions about three women who knew him. Laura is the troubled one-night-stand last seen in the victim's home. Carla is his grief-stricken aunt, already mourning the recent death of yet another family member. And Miriam is the nosy neighbor clearly keeping secrets from the police. Three women with separate connections to the victim. Three women who are - for different reasons - simmering with resentment. Who are, whether they know it or not, burning to right the wrongs done to them. When it comes to revenge, even good people might be capable of terrible deeds. How far might any one of them go to find peace? How long can secrets smolder before they explode into flame? Look what you started.

  • Hawkins 3rd novel is just as compelling as her first 2.

    Paula Hawkins has become one of my favorite authors since she burst on to the literary scene with 'The Girl on the Train'. That first novel was Purchased during a horrendous downpour, at a WalMart, while visiting my son in Honolulu. I was elated to find I'd stumbled in to a fantastic read from a brand new author. This latest book is just as good as the first (and second). I love all the twists and turns her novels include. Keeps you guessing and page turning. Hard to put one of her books down. Wish there was some way to continue reading while I sleep. I anxiously look forward to Ms Hawkins next endeavor.

  • No likeable characters.

    Not a single character to me was sympathetic, likeable or compelling in their story. The narrative jumps from present to past and from character to character with no clues that the jump has been made. This book would almost make me believe book burning was appropriate.
