About the author
Paula Hawkins is a British novelist who was born in Salisbury, Rhodesia, now Harare, Zimbabwe. She worked as a business journalist before turning to fiction and became widely known through the psychological thriller The Girl on the Train.
Into the Water, A Slow Fire Burning, and The Blue Hour continue her interest in disputed memory, visual art, isolated places, and the power created when one person controls another person’s story.
Where to start
