A Slow Fire Burning by Paula Hawkins

emotional mysterious sad slow-paced
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

4 stars may be generous, but I was  pleasantly surprised with how much I liked this book. I’ve never actually heard of Paula Hawkins and I really only put this on cause it was on my shelf for some reason and I’d just finished a book I loved so much that I needed something easier I didn’t care about so much as a break. I wouldn’t say I’m an avid reader of crime drama and I’m not one to be dissuaded  by predictability. But the cast of characters and themes throughout this book I found compelling. I particularly enjoyed the commentary on storytelling and the crime/mystery genre.
