Descripción: AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERThe scorching new thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Girl on the Train.“A Slow Fire Burning twists and turns like a great thriller should, but it's also deep, intelligent and intensely human.” – Lee Child“Only a clairvoyant could anticipate the book’s ending” – New York TimesWith the same propulsion that captivated millions of readers worldwide in The Girl on the Train and Into the Water, Paula Hawkins unfurls a gripping, twisting story of deceit, murder, and revenge.When a young man is found gruesomely murdered in a London houseboat, it triggers questions about three women who knew him. Laura is the troubled one-night-stand last seen in the victim’s home. Carla is his grief-stricken aunt, already mourning the recent death of yet another family member. And Miriam is the nosy neighbor clearly keeping secrets from the police. Three women with separate connections to the victim. Three women who are – for different reasons – simmering with resentment. Who are, whether they know it or not, burning to right the wrongs done to them. When it comes to revenge, even good people might be capable of terrible deeds. How far might any one of them go to find peace? How long can secrets smolder before they explode into flame?Look what you started.ReviewPraise for A Slow Fire Burning:“Sure to set the literary world on fire.”—Good Morning America“A Slow Fire Burning is a classic whodunit that unfolds the mystery until the very last page.”—USA Today“[It] Simmers…this one is indeed a page-turner….like a good curry, layered with spices, percolating for about 300 pages, leaving readers sated at the end.” —The Associated Press“A Slow Fire Burning is not only her most complex, twist-filled tale yet, but it’s also the most mature, intricately detailed, and superbly paced book of her career.”—shondaland“Gives the term "thriller" a whole new meaning…Hawkins's new book is a bloody masterpiece that's darker than it appears.”—Popsugar“Paula Hawkins is the queen of keeping us on the edge of our seats. … [A Slow Fire Burning is] the thriller of the summer.”—HelloGiggles“A nuanced picture of the female psyche…a cleverly crafted whodunit.”—Salon“This thrilling whodunnit barely lets you breathe as it barrels toward a shocking ending.”—Good Housekeeping“A creeping psychological thriller about entanglement and strained family relations that spiral into viciousness...Hawkins submerges readers into the troubled lives of her leading ladies...
