Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The scorching Sunday Times number one best seller from the author of The Girl on the Train.

Penguin presents the audio edition of A Slow Fire Burning, read by Rosamund Pike.

What is wrong with you?

Laura has spent most of her life being judged. She's seen as hot-tempered, troubled, a loner. Some even call her dangerous. 

Miriam knows that just because Laura is witnessed leaving the scene of a horrific murder with blood on her clothes, that doesn't mean she's a killer. Bitter experience has taught her how easy it is to get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. 

Carla is reeling from the brutal murder of her nephew. She trusts no one: good people are capable of terrible deeds. But how far will she go to find peace? 

Innocent or guilty, everyone is damaged. Some are damaged enough to kill.

Look what you started.

"Superbly told, its twists and turns reveal the slow fire burning inside each which might just destroy them. Utterly compelling." (Daily Mail)  

"Fast-paced, highly charged and carried off with so much confidence that it is impossible to resist." (Sunday Times)

Another great mystery novel from the author.

I loved both the plot of the novel and the narration by Rosamund Pike. I really liked the other two mystery novels by Paula Hawkins and had to read this one too. I am glad I found the audiobook here. Thank you, Audible.
