Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Audiobook version. This was an ok book. I literally had nothing else to read, so I stuck with it longer than I normally would have. It was slow. Really slow. I'd say the last ⅓ of the book is where the author starts to make things happen. And then it seemed like *too mych* happened -- the pacing was strange. The timeline was annoying and honestly could have been eliminated completely. It was odd all the way through. A Slow Fire Burning by Paula Hawkins is a fast paced whodunnit mystery thriller. I had high hopes with this book as the author's previous books were bestsellers. The plot is nice and the mystery hangs in the air while reading it. The characters are good, each having an unique identity. It was fun reading their past life and motives for murder. But after reading half the book, the plot became totally predictable. And the most important thing is that the plot missed to answer so many questions. I was literally dying to get answers for those. Although the plot is thrilling and engages the reader throughout, but I felt that the characters had more to say. I would only give 3 stars to the book. It took a minute for me to connect with the characters in this novel. Glad I did. Pleased that the plot ran deeper than I expected. Novel is about a small wealthy but dysfunctional family, and their neighbors. Lots of twists and turns. I like the fact that A Slow Fire Burning is very different than Hawkins; A Girl on the Train. I don't mind that many authors write formulaic stories but I prefer that each novel portray something different. This one delivers. Laura and Irene are wonderful characters. Good read. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Miriam är den nyfikna grannen som uppenbart inte berättar allt hon vet för polisen.Tre kvinnor med olika kopplingar till offret, tre kvinnor som av olika anledningar hyser agg och bär på sorg. Tre kvinnor, som vare sig de är medvetna om det eller inte, brinner inombords av längtan efter att få något tillbaka efter allt de fått utstå. Eller åtminstone kanske bli sedda och hörda.Vad är de beredda att göra för slippa känslan som svider i bröstet, är hämnd det enda sättet att finna ro? Hur länge kan hemligheter ligga och pyra innan de flammar till eld? En enda gnista kan tända en förtärande eld. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

The cast of characters including an author, a grieving mother, an old neighbour, a houseboat dweller, didn’t particularly rivet me, but I did think the feckless young Laura, always landing trouble on her head, was particularly well drawn. ( )
