Paula Hawkins

Paula Hawkins builds her breakout thriller around a blackout drunk who might have witnessed a crime, or committed one, and can't tell you which. The result is a commuter-belt mystery where the biggest suspect is the narrator's own memory.

Paula Hawkins follows The Girl on the Train with a small-town drowning mystery told through eleven narrators, where a river with a body count going back centuries hides which deaths were suicide, murder, or something in between.
