Todo ello es puesto a prueba cuando Jake, su esposo, es encontrado muerto brutalmente en su residencia y a su mejor amigo, Ryan, junto a él con el arma homicida en sus manos. Un punto de inflexión donde comenzará a ver más allá de la “fantasía” en la que vivía.

No voy a mentir, me ha enganchado desde el principio y Paula Hawkins me parece que tiene una pluma muy buena, ya que va directa al grano sin ningún tipo de rodeo, y además los capítulos son cortísimos. Nuvela e slăbuță, are defecte în construcție care o duc înspre telenovelă. Însă principalul defect al cărții e dimensiunea ei. Intriga, chiar așa enervantă cum e, ar fi trebuit construită mai atent și avea nevoie de mult mai mare spațiu de desfășurare pentru tot iureșul de surprize pregătit cititorului.

Hawkins was born and raised in Salisbury, Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe), the daughter of Anthony "Tony" Hawkins and his wife Glynne. [5] Her father was an economics professor and financial journalist. Before moving to London in 1989 aged 17, Hawkins attended Arundel School, Harare, Zimbabwe then studied for her A-Levels at Collingham College, an independent college in Kensington, West London. [6] Hawkins read philosophy, politics and economics at Keble College, University of Oxford. [6] [7] She worked as a journalist for The Times, reporting on business. She then worked for a number of publications on a freelance basis, and wrote a financial-advice book for women, The Money Goddess. [2] Un relato medianamente aceptable para pasar el rato, pero con una trama que no tiene nada de destacable. Consta de poco más de 100 páginas y el estilo de escritura es más o menos ameno. Su principal fallo es que tanto la historia como los personajes no están correctamente desarrollados. Obviously, I am a big Paula Hawkins fan. In fact, she is on my top 10 list of favorite authors. What I love about her books is that I never see the end coming. However, Blind Spot is a huge disappointment. 32% into Blind Spot, I had figured out who did it and why. The Really Bad

Cuando me llegó este libro me sorprendió mucho su tamaño, no llega a las 160 páginas y no entendía cómo la autora iba a contar un thriller de los suyos en tan pocas páginas, pero me ha sorprendido mucho para bien.

A Slow Fire Burning will be seen, rightly, as a return to form; a London book from an excellent writer on London, and a tender portrait of characters that stay in the mind long after you’ve finished reading. Hawkins is resigned to the fact that the Cinderella story of the first book will always outshine all the others and, while trying to remain divorced from the mania, is grateful for what it has brought her. She bought a nicer flat. She stayed in more expensive hotels when she travelled. And she bought a car – “but it’s electric. It’s not a Ferrari.”Como tal el libro no es malo y me ha entretenido bastante, pero hay muchas cosas que no me han gustado para nada. En él nos encontramos con la historia de Edie, quien desde muy pequeña se sintió orillada a madurar pronto y a encontrar su fortaleza e independencia, pero con ello también su soledad.
