THE SCORCHING SUNDAY TIMES no.1 BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN

Penguin presents the audio edition of A Slow Fire Burning, read by Rosamund Pike.

'What is wrong with you?'

Laura has spent most of her life being judged. She's seen as hot-tempered, troubled, a loner. Some even call her dangerous.

Miriam knows that just because Laura is witnessed leaving the scene of a horrific murder with blood on her clothes, that doesn't mean she's a killer. Bitter experience has taught her how easy it is to get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Carla is reeling from the brutal murder of her nephew. She trusts no one: good people are capable of terrible deeds. But how far will she go to find peace?

Innocent or guilty, everyone is damaged. Some are damaged enough to kill.

Look what you started.

'Shocking, moving, full of heart . . . A Slow Fire Burning shows a writer at the height of her powers.' Observer (Thriller of the Month)

'Superbly told, its twists and turns reveal the slow fire burning inside each which might just destroy them. Utterly compelling.' Daily Mail

'Fast-paced, highly charged and carried off with so much confidence that it is impossible to resist.'
Sunday Times

Kritikerstimmen

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.
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.
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.
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.
Gripping and intriguing, I loved every moment of A Slow Fire Burning. Hawkins goes from strength to strength.
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.
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.
A Slow Fire Burning is a hugely gripping, character-based thriller, with great writing and brilliant twists. Highly recommended.

If Paula Hawkins had chosen a more linear style to tell this story, I would have been more on board, but this jumping back and forth in time was not a pleasant listening experience. Rosamund Pike, on the other hand, is a masterful reader. Huge range of emotion in both male and female voices as well as accents.

Confusing storytelling but excellently read by Rosamund Pike

This was really good! Much better than I expected after reading the rather mixed reviews on Goodreads. Yes, there are a few similarities to the author's famous debut, "The Girl on the Train" - the multiple POVs, the unreliable narrators, all those broken people; it won't win any prizes for orignality, but that's okay with me. It's really well written and very gripping. I enjoyed listening from start to finish.

The narrator's great, too! I didn't even know that Rosamund Pike did audiobooks. She did a marvellous job on this one and I'm certainly going to watch out for more from her.

Gripping story, great narrator

Great book and a pleasure to listen too! Love the narrator’s voice. I’m quite picky when it comes to narrators, but her voice is pleasant and she distinguishes the characters well through intonation etc.
story has loads of twists although you can see where it’s headed if you pay close attention / but there’s nothing wrong with that. Would definitely recommend! Sweetened up the time I spend cleaning and cooking ;)

Great!

Beautifully read. Almost too many twists, but the writing is good enough to pull it off. Credible & relatable characters. Enjoyed it very much.
