A Slow Fire Burning

Finally, the world-bestselling author of "Girl on the Train" is back. With this stunning new thriller, Hawkins confronts the reader with three troubled women, their grievous histories, traumas and current living situations. Main character Laura Kilbride in particular embodies the narrative twist of an unreliable narrator par excellence. Due to a gruesome car accident in her childhoord, Laura suffers from severe brain damage, having problems to concentrate, to articulate herself properly and to control her emotions. Taking all of this into consideration, it is up to the reader to differentiate between a character's own confusion and not to get confused BY the story itself. The ultimate question to solve is how and why Daniel Sutherland had to die. Enjoy the puzzle!
