I really like Paula Hawkins and, while this isn’t my favourite of her books, she does a great job exploring themes of loneliness, love and caregiving that almost creep up on you as you read. And even when I figured out the who in the whodunnit part of the book, these themes and ideas made me want to keep reading and delve more into the characters.
