Paula Hawkins

‘Reminiscent of du Maurier and extremely hard to put down. The Blue Hour is destined to be a big hit.’ Mick Herron

When a bone at the centre of a famous sculpture is identified as human, the life the recently deceased artist Vanessa Chapman led with her companion Grace on the remote tidal island of Eris comes under scrutiny. What happened to Vanessa’s husband who vanished without trace twenty years ago? Paula Hawkins’ thrilling new novel The Blue Hour asks questions about the ways in which female artists and their work are framed in a world dominated by male critics and dealers.

Paula Hawkins is the international bestselling author of three novels, Into the Water, A Slow Fire Burning and The Girl on the Train. The latter has sold more than twenty-three million copies worldwide, broke the UK record for weeks at number one in the bestseller list and was turned into a hit film starring Emily Blunt. Hosted by journalist Helen Nugent.
