A Slow Fire Burning by Paula Hawkins

slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? No

2.0

Damn I’m not having much luck with my thrillers at the moment! I didn’t enjoy the writing, and I wasn’t impressed by the plot or the structure. I really struggled to read this as there were too many stories and sub-plots throughout the book which made it confusing to keep up with.

I personally don’t think this had any thrill or mystery to it, I guessed the ending within the first few chapters and the final twist wasn’t that surprising. I found it really difficult to connect with any of the characters (maybe except Irene).

Overall, I didn’t enjoy this book and think it will be awhile before I read another Paula Hawkins book.
