Slow burning fire (A)

With the same unmistakable style that has captivated millions of readers around the world in The Girl on the Train and Into the Water , Paula Hawkins captures us in a web of deception, murder and revenge.

“Full of twists and turns like any self-respecting great thriller, A Slow Burning Fire is also a deep, intelligent and intensely human novel, whose characters resemble people we all know ... or perhaps even ourselves. " - Lee Child, bestselling author of The Past Does Not Die

"A suspense that never lets go." - The Independent

"Only a fortune-teller could predict the ending." - The New York Times

Laura has spent most of her life under the weight of the judgments of others. She is considered short-tempered, upset, an outsider. Miriam knows that just because Laura was seen leaving a horrific crime scene with her clothes stained with blood doesn't necessarily make her a killer. Bitter experience has taught her how easy it is to be caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Carla is still reeling from the brutal murder of her nephew. He doesn't trust anyone: he knows that even good people are capable of terrible deeds. But how far is she willing to go to find peace? Innocent or guilty, each of us is deeply marked. But some of us are scarred to the point of killing. Because when you light a fuse, you can no longer stop the fire.
