Description:
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins delivers a gripping and twisty thriller that unravels a brutal murder in London and the lives of three women connected to it. When a young man is found gruesomely murdered on a London houseboat, suspicion immediately falls on Laura, the troubled one-night-stand who was the last person seen leaving his home, and who is known for her fiery temper and troubled past. However, as the investigation unfolds, two other women emerge as potential suspects: Carla, the victim's grief-stricken aunt, already reeling from the recent death of another family member, and Miriam, the nosy neighbour who seems to be withholding crucial information from the police. Each woman has her own reasons to be resentful, to desire revenge, and to potentially be capable of terrible deeds. Hawkins weaves a taut narrative that delves into the insidious and destructive nature of past trauma, exploring how seemingly isolated events can have far-reaching consequences and how trust can be irrevocably broken. This signed first UK edition hardback is an exclusive edition, often featuring black sprayed edges, unique endpapers, and board designs. It is a compelling and deeply human thriller, praised for its meticulous plotting, damaged yet relatable characters, and a shocking conclusion. This special signed edition is a must-have for collectors of Paula Hawkins' work and fans of suspenseful crime fiction and psychological thrillers.
