Paula Hawkins (Author)
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 almost 20 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.
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.
*Lisa Jewell*
Paula Hawkins's plotting is meticulous. A Slow Fire Burning is a
clever onion of a book, expertly peeled.
*Belinda Bauer*
Dark and disturbing, this twisted story with its cast of damaged
characters builds to a brilliant conclusion. This one will stay
with you for a long time.
*Shari Lapena*
Gripping and intriguing, I loved every moment of A Slow Fire
Burning. Hawkins goes from strength to strength.
*S. J. Watson*
An unflinching look at the damage sparked by grief, loss and
betrayal - and the revenge and retribution that ensues. Compelling
and intricately plotted, it was its flawed and utterly credible
women, and the warmth and wit of their irreverent voices, that I
loved the most.
*Sarah Vaughan*
A new Paula Hawkins novel is always a cause for celebration. Her
books have all the pleasing twists of the noir genre while at the
same time having something to say that feels real and complex and
true - her women characters feel like someone you actually
know.
*Louise Doughty*
A Slow Fire Burning is a hugely gripping, character-based thriller,
with great writing and brilliant twists. Highly recommended.
*John Boyne*
