Trade ReviewFrom the first sentence to the last, this explosive, startling novel grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. Fiendishly clever and with a wonderful sense of place too. Go read! * Kate Mosse *
I love Paula Hawkins, and this is why -
A Slow Fire Burning twists and turns like a great thriller should, but it's also deep, intelligent and intensely human . . . the characters are just like people you know . . . or maybe even just like you yourself. Hawkins is proving herself a worthy 21st century heir to Barbara Vine and Patricia Highsmith. * Lee Child *
My Book of the Month, for which I predict big things . . . An intriguing, unputdownable thriller that is as much about the compelling, damaged characters as it is about the intricate plot. * Alice O’Keeffe, The Bookseller *
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. Paula Hawkins is a genius. * Lisa Jewell *
Paula Hawkins's plotting is meticulous.
A Slow Fire Burning is a clever onion of a book, expertly peeled. * Belinda Bauer *
