A Slow Fire Burning by Paula Hawkins

2.0

This was a mixed one. It was hard not to compare it to The Girl on the Train which is probably unfair but somehow the style didn't really work for me. Was it comfy, cosy murder mystery (in the style of The Appeal / The Thursday Murder Club) or was it meant to be gritty and hard-hitting. It fell between the two and, for me, didn't work all that well. Two stars is probably too harsh but I'm not sure it's a full three.
