PAULA HAWKINS worked as a journalist for fifteen years before
turning her hand to fiction. Born and brought up in Zimbabwe, Paula
moved to London in 1989 and has lived there ever since. Her first
thriller, The Girl on the Train, has been a global phenomenon,
selling 23 million copies worldwide. Published in over forty
languages, it has been a No.1 bestseller around the world and was a
No.1 box office hit film starring Emily Blunt.
Into the Water, her second stand-alone thriller, has also been a
global No.1 bestseller, spending twenty weeks in the Sunday Times
hardback fiction Top 10 bestseller list, and six weeks at No.1.
From 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!

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.

Paula Hawkins's plotting is meticulous. A Slow Fire Burning is a
clever onion of a book, expertly peeled.
