BAD Sydney Crime Writers Festival presents Paula Hawkins in conversation with Suzanne Leal about Paula's latest bestseller A Slow Fire Burning, in which long-smouldering secrets finally burst into flame and result in murder.
About the book
On London's Regent's Canal, a young man is found stabbed to death on a houseboat. Why did he die? Who killed him? What long-buried secrets, crimes and deceit have led to this gruesome end? All the people around him are damaged, they are all hiding something from their past, but who was ready to kill?
When Daniel Sutherland is found murdered, it triggers questions about three women who knew him. Each of them has experienced some form of loss or trauma in her past. Laura is the troubled one night stand last seen leaving his home. Carla is his grief-stricken aunt, already mourning the recent death of another family member. Miriam is the nosy neighbour clearly keeping secrets from the police.
The three women have separate connections to the victim and all three are - for different reasons - simmering with resentment, and whether they know it or not, burning to right the wrongs done to them. When it comes to revenge, even good people might be capable of terrible deeds. How far might any one of them go to find peace?
