We will be combining our love for reading and sharing snacks, while we work together to solve the puzzle of what do we read next? Let’s discuss it on the first Monday of each month!
June's book choice is "A Slow Burning Fire" by Paula Hawkins
In A Slow Fire Burning, the murder of a young man on a London houseboat has police narrowing their suspect list to three women who live near the canal where the houseboat was moored. Paula Hawkins (The Girl on the Train, Into the Water) loves a large cast of characters and multiple narrators. And she’s assembled a rum bunch in this novel. So rum that at a certain point in the story readers will come to the conclusion that any one—or all—of these people are capable of murder. It’s a testament to Hawkins’ skillful storytelling that readers will have no idea until the last few pages who the murderer is, and that they will, by then, be so fond of some of the characters—Irene and Laura in particular—that they won’t care if they did it. Prepare to inhale this smart thriller in one sitting. —Vannessa Cronin, Amazon Editor
