A Slow Fire Burning: Novel

A Slow Fire Burning, the scorching new thriller from the number one New York Times best-selling author of The Girl on the Train, has become an instant number one New York Times best seller. This gripping, twisting story of deceit, murder, and revenge captivates readers with the same propulsion that enthralled millions of listeners worldwide in The Girl on the Train and Into the Water.

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. These three women have separate connections to the victim and are, for different reasons, simmering with resentment. Whether they know it or not, they are burning to right the wrongs done to them.

As the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that 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? "Only a clairvoyant could anticipate the book's ending," says the New York Times.

Renowned author Lee Child praises A Slow Fire Burning, stating that "it twists and turns like a great thriller should, but it's also deep, intelligent and intensely human." Paula Hawkins masterfully weaves a captivating tale that keeps readers on the edge of their seats, constantly questioning the motives and actions of the complex characters.

This latest offering from the acclaimed writer of The Girl on the Train and Into the Water is a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers and anyone who appreciates a gripping, twist-filled narrative that delves into the depths of human nature. The suspense builds with each turn of the page, leaving readers to ponder the lengths people will go to in pursuit of justice, or perhaps, revenge. Look what you started, indeed.
