THE RUNAWAY SUNDAY TIMES NO.1 BESTSELLER AND THRILLER OF THE
YEAR
,
YOU DON'T KNOW HER. BUT SHE KNOWS YOU.
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.
Really great suspense novel. Kept me up most of the night. The
alcoholic narrator is dead perfect.

The thriller scene will have to up its game if it's to match
Hawkins this year
*Observer*
A complex and increasingly chilling tale courtesy of a number of
first-person narratives that will wrong-foot even the most
experienced of crime fiction readers
*Irish Times*
achieves a sinister poetry . . . Hawkins keeps the nastiest twist
for last
*Financial Times*
Hawkins' masterful deployment of unwittingly unreliable narration
to evoke the aftershocks of abuse and trauma is a powerful way of
exploring women's marginalization
*Huffington Post*
Springs new surprises on us . . .Pulses will be quickened
*The Good Book Guide*
The Girl on the Train has more fun with unreliable narration than
any chiller since Gone Girl
*New York Times*
Halfway through and I can't stop reading it. My kinda thriller!
*Tweet from Armistead Maupin*
it's BLIDDY FABLISS, isn't it! A long long time since a book
gripped me like this
*Tweet from Marian Keyes*
The Girl on the Train is one of those delicious thrillers that can
be devoured in four sittings, that's two return journeys on a
typical train trip! There's a whiff of Agatha Christie and a dollop
of Gone Girl with plenty of blind alleys that we happily wander up
and get lost in. Pick it up, solve the crime and pass it on . .
