Books like A slow fire burning

The unmissable new thriller from the author of the global bestsellers The Girl on the Train and Into the Water.Explaining the new book's premise in her own words, Hawkins said: "A Slow Fire Burning starts with a brutal murder on a London canal boat. Laura, a likely suspect, is witnessed leaving the scene and for a while it looks like a straightforward case. But what I wanted to explore in this book is the way that no tragedy happens in isolation: an accident in childhood can have ramifications a decade later; trusting the wrong person at the wrong time can derail a life completely. I am interested in the way we become the people we are: how we choose what to hold onto and how those things can wound us."
