I know literally nothing about this, but I WANT IT.

Another heroine who is a physical, emotional and mental wreck: Hawkins had it in for poor Laura. She was constantly bashed about and yes, she did make almost nothing but poor choices.Her father and mother were emotional train wrecks themselves. Talk about a cat chasing its tail. I have to say that after a while, I got tired of the continuous bouts of extreme violence that Laura endured. Towards the end, I thought the worst was over, but... no, poor Laura!A lot of the plot relies on the mental in...

Welp, somehow I was able to finish the book with no enjoyment. Third time isn't always the charm in the case of Paula Hawkins. A slog and a challenge to pick up where I left off. I couldn't find a single character to like and it went downhill from there. I didn't plan on reading another Paula Hawkins, but Rosamund Pike narrates and I thought just maybe...Girl on the Train 3⭐Into the Water - didn't make it to GR dnf shelf.

(2.5) Forgettable

will this book ever be published?***********still no title? So mysterious... I LOVE IT***********This book comes out in four months and there's no title, synopsis or cover. Why do I sense that this will be pushed back.***********October 2019!? Can't she wrote instead of... You know... Eating or sleeping? Is that too much to ask?| Goodreads | Blog | Pinterest | LinkedIn | YouTube | Instagram

Oh boy, this was a disappointment. It took her 4 years to write this??I hate to say it, but, A Slow Fire Burning....is a slow hot mess. Once a big Hawkins fan here, I loved Girl on the Train, idolized that book. Wasn't as impressed with Into the Water like many others. But this one....ugh. Way too many POVs, time jumps, and just so much unnecessary drivel confusing the reader more and more. A rather predictable tale of murder and revenge..... The ending didn't shock me at all. It was going to be...

***HAPPY PUBLICATION DAY***This was my third Paula Hawkins book and while I found it somewhat slow going, the writing was superb. It was the pacing and the large cast of unlikable and unreliable narrators that bogged this one down for me a bit. Otherwise this would probably have been a 5*.I thought the title was very apropo because of the slow burn of anger, hatred, jealousy and deceit brewing within these characters. We start in this book at the ending and follow through the back stories of all...

If I had a dollar for every time someone fell in this book….Quick!!! Someone get these people a LifeAlert necklace! 😱The character development was awesome! I truly felt like I got to know each of the characters. Irene was a badass. I hope I’m exactly like her when I’m 80 years old. 😂The twists weren’t as action-packed as I was hoping they would be, but it still made for an enticing story. I may be biased as I was expecting a book as extraordinary as ‘The Girl on the Train’ so therefore I left fe...

NOW AVAILABLE!!!hawkins' debut thriller The Girl on the Train came out hot on the heels of the film-adaptation of Gone Girl, when the psych suspense market was craving MORE LIKE THIS, PLEASE, and it became a runaway bestseller that everyone either loved or loved to hate, but its success ushered in a WAVE of twisty suspense novels trying to hitch a ride aboard the gone girl on the (gravy) train, so many of which unabashedly featured the word "girl" or "woman" in their titles. her follow-up, Into

Paula Hawkins writes an ambitious thriller with multiple characters, all in one neighborhood in London. Her setting is in an area near a canal with moored houseboats. The title, “A Slow Fire Burning” reflects the emotional simmering of the female characters, all who have reasons for revenge.In an interview with NPR, Hawkins admits that while she was walking near her London home, which is near an area of moored houseboats, she often contemplated where would be a perfect spot to hide or dispose of...

Let me just say that this book was not meant for me.I wasn’t impressed by the writing and I found the storyline and its structure to be pretentious and confusing.The dialogues were very disappointing and I was bored the whole time.Fortunately this book is small (84k words) and the chapters are not too long.As if someone else wrote it, chapter 30 was my favourite one, where I asked why couldn’t have been like that throughout the book? It was a moment of great lucidity and that was what I was expe...

Nope! That bloody disappointment choo choo train sound started playing in my head! After being introduced to Ms. Hawkins with her psychological, twisty thriller “Girl on the train”, I was so drawn into her story about complex, broken, unreliable characters. I found her second work: “Into the water”a little disappointed me. Maybe I was expecting to read something similar to her debut : something riveting, more mysterious, exciting, character driven with smart twists and you didn’t see it coming

no one:not even a single soul:me: sorry if this is your favorite book but I AM DRAGGING IT TO JAIL!!

A fairly entertaining thriller, but the web Hawkins weaves becomes a little convoluted by the end. Maybe I'll write a longer review soon.

Well well I guess this is why you shouldn't judge a book by the first 50%.....A young man, Daniel Sutherland, has been found deceased on a houseboat. Leaving the scene of the crime is Laura, a young woman known to police. Fortunately for Daniel, there is a noisy neighbor Miriam who takes detailed records of all of the comings and goings. However, Daniel's mother, Angela, died just a few weeks before Daniel in an accident. Are these deaths connected? Was it Laura? What do we really know?This was

After a young man is found murdered in a houseboat in London, it brings to the forefront three women who have unique and complicated connections to him. A nosy neighbor, a one-night stand, and a resentful family member, all who are juggling their own secrets and hidden agendas. You won’t know whom to trust in this twisty murder mystery.

Like the three parts of a braid, the stories of the three women in A Slow Fire Burning come together and are interwoven into one. A young man is found murdered on his canal boat. Three women were among the last to see him - Laura, his one night stand, Miriam, his neighbor and Carla, his aunt. Each is an unreliable narrator and all seem to be hiding something. We actually hear from other narrators, this is a book with a lot of POVs. We also are given glimpses into small segments of a best selling...

A young man in his twenties is found stabbed to death on the houseboat where he had been living. I admit that I've always been entranced by the idea of living in one, minus the murder of course. A woman who lives in another of the boats is the one to find his body and at first glimpse she seems like the typical busy body type of person, always looking, judging. Soon though, there will be two other women involved, unreliable narrators all. There are connections between these women and the dead ma...

There is a murder because of course there is. Tenuous connections, deception, and betrayal embroil members of a family, a pitiable young woman, and a meddlesome middle-aged spinster in the investigation that ensues. Moving back and forth in time, the characters’ backstories are slowly revealed as Hawkins turns you every which way but loose. There is even a book within in a book. I was held breathless.

**4.5**Paula Hawkins earned her label of a psychodramatic writer when she blew us away with The Girl on the Train. A Slow Fire Burning is an atmospheric, suspenseful, psychotic thriller that will have you gripping the edge of your seat. To say I was not confused is an understatement, but I remember having that same feeling with her first one, but yet it reels you in at a tantalizing rate of emotions that you will revel in this when your finished. Jealousy and deceit are the catalyst for this pow...
