A Slow fire burning, indeed! I love the way Paula Hawkins tells a story. She takes her time with the plot, the characters and their development.  She even pokes fun a bit in this story about how authors in classic thriller stories, go back and forth between the past and the present.  “Get on with it”-Irene. Some may think there’s too many characters in this story and hard to keep up but I quite enjoyed it.  And its kept me guessing on who indeed killed Daniel. I listened to the audiobook and really really enjoyed the narration by Rosamund Pike.  Great way to start my books off for the month of November!
