A Richard & Judy Book Club Pick.

THE SCORCHING SUNDAY TIMES no.1 BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN

Penguin presents the audio edition of A Slow Fire Burning, read by Rosamund Pike.

'What is wrong with you?'

Laura has spent most of her life being judged. She's seen as hot-tempered, troubled, a loner. Some even call her dangerous.

Miriam knows that just because Laura is witnessed leaving the scene of a horrific murder with blood on her clothes, that doesn't mean she's a killer. Bitter experience has taught her how easy it is to get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Carla is reeling from the brutal murder of her nephew. She trusts no one: good people are capable of terrible deeds. But how far will she go to find peace?

Innocent or guilty, everyone is damaged. Some are damaged enough to kill.

Look what you started.

'Shocking, moving, full of heart . . . A Slow Fire Burning shows a writer at the height of her powers.' Observer (Thriller of the Month)

'Superbly told, its twists and turns reveal the slow fire burning inside each which might just destroy them. Utterly compelling.' Daily Mail

'Fast-paced, highly charged and carried off with so much confidence that it is impossible to resist.'
Sunday Times

All this going back and forth between characters, time and situations made this story quite confusing.

What a brilliant audio book! Wow - Rosamund Pike is phenomenal - she inhabited each character and I instantly knew who was talking. I lurched between deciding which character was guilty. Riveting story, exquisitely narrated. 7-stars!

Loved the characters. They were very realistic. They could easily be your neighbour or a friend

Ironic

This was a good story but the jumping around between characters was particularly hard to keep up with, especially in an audiobook.

Good story

Did not disappoint. Every character is flawed, some seem irredeemable, but all carry honest hurt and a fragility that connects us. Kept changing my mind about who I thought the culprit was and who I thought deserved to be guilty.

Interconnected characters you can really feel
