If you read the book called “The Girl on the Train” then you already are a fan of the author of this book. It is slow as its name suggests but don’t get fooled by this, this is a slow burn revenge story, and what an amazing story it is, with an ending that was not easy to guess.
You are going to find many stories running at once with different time frames, in some cases, it can be confusing but if you are a fan of this style of storytelling then you are in luck.
I normally finish a book in a day and In some cases, several books in a day but this book took me two days because I was reading a few more books and they were much faster in pace than this one. And because of that, I realized that this book is not for everyone due to the slow pace and that is one of its flaws that can’t be ignored if you want action and pace on every page so only buy this book if you are not expecting much from it plus you need to remember it is not “The Girl on the Train.”
You are basically reading five stories in one but none of the stories are connected to the others but later it all comes together and that is what you are wanting to know and that is why it feels so slow to read.
Not for everyone but really a clever book by a clever author. You just need to understand and wait till everything opens up and that is the true magic of this book.
The only reason I am not giving good points is the slow pace even though it was a clever story and the way of telling it was great but not everyone is going to like it.
Synopsis:
“AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The 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 Times
With 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.”
