Paula Hawkins became a global literary phenomenon with The Girl on the Train (2015), a psychological thriller narrated by an unreliable protagonist whose daily commute becomes entangled with a missing persons case. The novel’s success — over 20 million copies sold and a major film adaptation — established Hawkins as one of the most commercially successful thriller writers of her generation.
Her subsequent novels have continued to explore psychological suspense through different lenses. Into the Water (2017) examined the deaths connected to a drowning pool in a small town. A Slow Fire Burning (2021) wove together three women’s lives around a murder on a London houseboat. The Blue Hour (2024) moved to a remote island setting. Hawkins also published the novella Blind Spot (2022). Each book shares a preoccupation with how people construct and distort the stories they tell about themselves and others.
