Book description
A stylish and immersive new novel of ambition, legacy, and betrayal from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Girl on the Train. An isolated Scottish island, accessible to the mainland only twelve hours a day. A famous (some might say infamous) artist whose notoriously unfaithful husband disappeared after visiting her twenty years ago. A present-day discovery that intimately connects three people and unveils a web of secrets and lies. A masterful and propulsive novel that asks searing questions of ambition, power, gender, and perception, The Blue Hour recalls the very best of Shirley Jackson and Patricia Highsmith and cements Hawkins’s place among the very best of our most nuanced, powerful, and stylish storytellers.Review"The author of The Girl on the Train combines a murder mystery with an exploration of an artist’s troubled inner life in this elegiac novel." -Sunday Times (London) “The stormy Atlantic Ocean inspires a troubled artist and swallows up a few sins in a fine new novel by Paula Hawkins, who’s best known for her debut, The Girl on the Train. Three books later, she’s elevated her game with The Blue Hour, a disturbing, elegant, and psychologically probing inquiry into the final years of a troubled artist and the mess she left behind.” - Lisa Henricksson, AirmailAbout the AuthorPaula Hawkins worked as a journalist for fifteen years before she wrote her first novel. Born and brought up in Zimbabwe, Paula moved to London in 1989. She now splits her time between London and Edinburgh.
