Summary

9 hours， 20 minutes

The scorching new thriller from the number-one 'New York Times' best-selling author of 'The Girl on the Train'。

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。

4，5 *****Dit boek is zo goed！ Het leest als een trein， heeft goede plotwendingen en ik leefde mee met alle personages。 Beste thriller die ik dit jaar heb gelezen。

El cadaver de un hombre joven es encontrado en una barcaza en Londres。 La vida truncada de 4 mujeres se cruzan entre sí unidas por este joven hombre; su tía， su amante， su vecina y la vecina de su madre。 Un pequeño mundo de mujeres lleno de demonios por malas decisiones y tragedias。 El comienzo de la historia es muy interesante y el final muy bueno aunque ya supiéramos más o menos al culpable。 Pero hacia los 3/4 de la novela， el fuego lento fue taaaaan lento， que perdí el interés y ya sólo querí El cadaver de un hombre joven es encontrado en una barcaza en Londres。 La vida truncada de 4 mujeres se cruzan entre sí unidas por este joven hombre; su tía， su amante， su vecina y la vecina de su madre。 Un pequeño mundo de mujeres lleno de demonios por malas decisiones y tragedias。 El comienzo de la historia es muy interesante y el final muy bueno aunque ya supiéramos más o menos al culpable。 Pero hacia los 3/4 de la novela， el fuego lento fue taaaaan lento， que perdí el interés y ya sólo quería encontrar al culpable。 。。。more

I think this could have been a 5 star book for me if it had hit me at the right time when I wasn't so burnt out。 I enjoyed the storyline。 I especially liked that the author seemed to poke fun at herself a bit。 It just had too much skipping around and too much brain power required and was too much of a slow burn to grab my attention and keep me engaged。 I think this could have been a 5 star book for me if it had hit me at the right time when I wasn't so burnt out。 I enjoyed the storyline。 I especially liked that the author seemed to poke fun at herself a bit。 It just had too much skipping around and too much brain power required and was too much of a slow burn to grab my attention and keep me engaged。 。。。more

This book was okay but a bit disappointing versus others I have read by this author。 It kicks off with the discovery of a body on a houseboat in London。 It’s clearly a case of murder， so for the police it’s now simply a case of identifying who had both the opportunity and the motive。 There is a cast of characters that you are introduced to and then you spend time trying to figure where they land in the storyline。 We have the nosy neighbor who had found the body， a young woman who’d had a recent This book was okay but a bit disappointing versus others I have read by this author。 It kicks off with the discovery of a body on a houseboat in London。 It’s clearly a case of murder， so for the police it’s now simply a case of identifying who had both the opportunity and the motive。 There is a cast of characters that you are introduced to and then you spend time trying to figure where they land in the storyline。 We have the nosy neighbor who had found the body， a young woman who’d had a recent one night stand on the victim's boat and an aunt who seems to be nursing a whole bag of resentment， for reasons we are to discover later。 And there are other linked characters too who are perhaps worthy of consideration。 Could one of these be the killer or are we being sold a shoal of red herrings？ Well， it’s a complicated tale and readers will need to pay close attention if they’re to have a chance of successfully resolving this one。 There are a number of separate storylines running in parallel as we step back and forth in time。 I found it a little confusing， in truth， though I confess I am easily lost if too much information is put on the table。 The story is told from their alternating POVs， but it had an easy flow to it that kept it from being confusing and disjointed。 Hawkins did a masterful job at ultimately weaving the three stories together and bringing it all full circle， which makes it a compelling read that keeps you thinking about the characters long after the somewhat surprising reveal。 The pace of this book was quite slow as compared to her other novels I felt。 The cast of characters are definitely unforgiving， unrelated and unreliable at the same time。 I also did not like some of them at various points in the story。 。。。more

Very good book and kept my interest all the way through。 I listened to this being read by Rosamund Pike and she was absolutely fabulous！ One of the best narrators I have come across。

Tasha ，

Great story and loved that the audiobook was narrated by Rosamund Pike。 Paula Hawkins has a unique ability to dump a bunch of character development into the first half of the book and then masterfully weaves it together throughout the back-half， leaving you guessing， thinking you figured it out and then proven wrong， until at long last， the true culprit is revealed。 Such a great read。

Entertaining crime thriller but somewhat required suspense of disbelief。 Enjoyed Laura’s character—depiction of frontal lobe TBI long term effects。

another good book from Paula Hawkins。

4。5 stars， very good book， fantastic audiobook read by Rosamond Pike。

Interesting characters that are not always like able but sympathetic。 It was a good story but the ending went off the rails for a bit 。 It just became too unbelievable and had too much of a twist 。 Still it was fun entertainment。

Matthew ，

The Girl on the Train was such a great read。 After reading this book， unfortunately， I like that book less！ This book was so heavy-handed and calculated in its plot points that I reflected back on The Girl on the Train and realized it， too， was heavy handed。 The Girl on the Train was an easy page turner with a clear narrative voice。 This book had neither of those benefits; the characters were muddled and rather than thinking whodunnit， I thought whocares。 I'm unlikely to read additional work by The Girl on the Train was such a great read。 After reading this book， unfortunately， I like that book less！ This book was so heavy-handed and calculated in its plot points that I reflected back on The Girl on the Train and realized it， too， was heavy handed。 The Girl on the Train was an easy page turner with a clear narrative voice。 This book had neither of those benefits; the characters were muddled and rather than thinking whodunnit， I thought whocares。 I'm unlikely to read additional work by this author。 。。。more

Paula Hawkins’s books are always a delight to read。 Her thrillers have always kept me on the edge and I was over the top excited for her new book too。 The story revolves around the murder of a young man and finding his culprit。 The police suspected three women but each of them had their own secrets which they were hiding。 Who killed the man and what was the reason？The book didn’t meet my expectations of a great thriller。 I really didn’t like the characters as they were making me cringe with thei Paula Hawkins’s books are always a delight to read。 Her thrillers have always kept me on the edge and I was over the top excited for her new book too。 The story revolves around the murder of a young man and finding his culprit。 The police suspected three women but each of them had their own secrets which they were hiding。 Who killed the man and what was the reason？The book didn’t meet my expectations of a great thriller。 I really didn’t like the characters as they were making me cringe with their constant bickering。 Not a bad story but definitely not the best from Paula Hawkins。 。。。more

I am terribly sorry Paula， you certainly know how to write and this is not personal but I found A Slow Fire Burning to be an absolutely slow， piece of trash that definitely needs to be burned。 There is not one single， redeeming thing about this book except for maybe， Irene。 Maybe。 I was so excited to get Ms。 Hawkins new title and rushed into Barnes and Noble on release day and yet， here we are， almost a month later and I finally slogged through to the end。 I hate not finishing a book so I tried， I am terribly sorry Paula， you certainly know how to write and this is not personal but I found A Slow Fire Burning to be an absolutely slow， piece of trash that definitely needs to be burned。 There is not one single， redeeming thing about this book except for maybe， Irene。 Maybe。 I was so excited to get Ms。 Hawkins new title and rushed into Barnes and Noble on release day and yet， here we are， almost a month later and I finally slogged through to the end。 I hate not finishing a book so I tried， every night but every night， I just fell asleep。 Tonight， I thought to myself， “it’s October， time to read some hauntingly good books so just finish this one already。” I actually had to force myself to finish this book and I have never been more thankful to be done。 I feel like a weight has just been lifted from my shoulders。 Unfortunately， a headache， queasy stomach and a pair of restless legs are left behind。 Lots of triggers: Language， sex， abduction， rape， child death/murder， theft， drug and alcohol abuse， animal murder， physical attack， annoying red herring， incestuous thoughts etc。 🤮 。。。more

I liked this one better than her follow up to The Girl on the Train， but it really was a slow burn。 The big twist wasn't overemphasized or even out of the blue， the characters were WELL developed， and there wasn't a lot of gimmicky pov and setting switches （altho there was a fair amount， it never felt too forced）。 I don't know WHY， exactly， but I enjoyed this。 3。5 stars rounded up cuz， idk， it had spunk， I guess。 Houseboats， creepy family stuff， and the like。 I liked this one better than her follow up to The Girl on the Train， but it really was a slow burn。 The big twist wasn't overemphasized or even out of the blue， the characters were WELL developed， and there wasn't a lot of gimmicky pov and setting switches （altho there was a fair amount， it never felt too forced）。 I don't know WHY， exactly， but I enjoyed this。 3。5 stars rounded up cuz， idk， it had spunk， I guess。 Houseboats， creepy family stuff， and the like。 。。。more

Meine MeinungSeit "Girl on the Train" bin ich ein absoluter Fan von Paula Hawkins。 Auch in diesem Psychothriller steht wieder eine junge Frau im Mittelpunkt， die mit der Welt fertig zu sein scheint。 Als Kind hatte Laura einen schweren Unfall， den sie nur knapp überlebt hat。 Sie hinkt seither und hat Probleme ihr Tun und Handeln unter Kontrolle zu halten。 Sie fügt sich selbst Schmerz zu。 Sie ritzt sich， bis das Blut nur so spritzt。 Nach einem One-Night-Stand gerät sie unter Mordverdacht。 Sie wurd Meine MeinungSeit "Girl on the Train" bin ich ein absoluter Fan von Paula Hawkins。 Auch in diesem Psychothriller steht wieder eine junge Frau im Mittelpunkt， die mit der Welt fertig zu sein scheint。 Als Kind hatte Laura einen schweren Unfall， den sie nur knapp überlebt hat。 Sie hinkt seither und hat Probleme ihr Tun und Handeln unter Kontrolle zu halten。 Sie fügt sich selbst Schmerz zu。 Sie ritzt sich， bis das Blut nur so spritzt。 Nach einem One-Night-Stand gerät sie unter Mordverdacht。 Sie wurde gesehen， wie sie blutverschmiert das Hausboot verließ， in dem der junge Mann ermordet wurde。 Es stellt sich die Frage， ob Laura wirklich der letzte Mensch war， der den Toten lebendig gesehen hat。Die Geschichte kommt nicht spektakulär daher。 Vielmehr baut sich die Spannung nach und nach auf。 Die Protagonisten sind gut gezeichnet。 Nur von dem Ermordeten konnte ich mir erst ziemlich am Ende ein Bild machen。 Carla， die Tante des Mordopfers， war mir von Anfang an suspekt。 Seine Mutter wirkt auch sehr speziell。 Miriam ist die Nachbarin des Ermordeten und hat noch mit Jemanden eine Rechnung offen。 Ich fand es sehr interessant， wie sich die Wege von Carla und Miriam mit Lauras kreuzen。Mit Laura hat Paula Hawkins wieder mal eine Protagonistin geschaffen， die einem sehr nahe geht。 Einsam und verlassen， körperlich lädiert und unheimlich traurig kämpft sie sich durchs Leben。 Ein leichtes Opfer 。。。。。 oder Täterin？FazitWieder konnte mich die Autorin von Anfang an abholen。 Abermals hat sie mich an den seelischen Abgründen ihrer Figuren teilhaben lassen。 Der Schreibstil ist magisch。 Ich musste immer weiter lesen。 Die Spannung ist von Anfang an da。 Erst leise。 Dann immer lauter。 Einziges Manko: Ich habe ziemlich früh geahnt， wer für den Mord verantwortlich ist。 Ich mag bei einem Thriller am Ende überrascht werden。Danke Paula Hawkins。 Ich hatte spannende Lesestunden。 。。。more

I have struggled to focus while reading ever since the start of the pandemic， but this book blew that out of the water！ I was engrossed and intrigued from start to finish and absolutely loved the journey。 This author is so skilled at weaving people， events， and exchanges together just enough to tell a brilliant and cohesive story - while never telling all until the very end。 Such a good read and a great story！

Too many characters at once。 It took a bit in to get used to all of them。 Very anticlimactic ending。

First thoughts: PRO TIP - never look at the last page of a Paula Hawkins book！ Haha I think I may have ruined my reading （maybe not ruined but tainted？） of her newest novel by checking how many pages there were！ She always has a line to drop at the very end so DON’T PEAK！！ Besides that， I always love her writing， her characters have a life of their own， and the plot was interesting albeit a bit all over the place at times， but things seemed to wrap up nicely for the most part in the end。 I alway First thoughts: PRO TIP - never look at the last page of a Paula Hawkins book！ Haha I think I may have ruined my reading （maybe not ruined but tainted？） of her newest novel by checking how many pages there were！ She always has a line to drop at the very end so DON’T PEAK！！ Besides that， I always love her writing， her characters have a life of their own， and the plot was interesting albeit a bit all over the place at times， but things seemed to wrap up nicely for the most part in the end。 I always recommend her books so give it a go！ Or check out her other two reads - The Girl on the Train and Into the Water。 。。。more

Christy Beam ，

The title is very fitting。 This book is about as interesting as watching a slow， agonizing， dull fire burn to ash。 I kept waiting for it to get interesting & hold my attention， but it never did。 As a big fan of Girl on the Train， this one was a big let down。 Definitely don’t recommend。

Thomasm ，

This novel reminded me a lot of Ruth Rendell’s writing—characters， setting， style。 Very good！
