A Masterful Thriller: Paula Hawkins' A Slow Fire Burning

You probably already know writer Paula Hawkins from her two smash hit New York Times #1 bestsellers The Girl on the Train and Into the Water, so here’s a warning to prepare yourself for her third excellent thriller mystery, A Slow Fire Burning. Seriously, warn your friends: no spoilers, and avoid the internet, because while you’ll definitely want to solve this mystery, you’ll also want to get lost in and enjoy the intricacies and layers of the story.

A Slow Fire Burning centers around the murder of a young man on a London houseboat--suspicion focuses in on three women who are all tied to him in someway. Paula Hawkins unravels this mystery deliberately and in measured detail, leaving you guessing right up to the end. It’s a finely crafted story.
