About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Winner of the 2016 Audie Award for Audiobook of the Year.

Includes an exclusive extract from Paula Hawkins' scorching new thriller A Slow Fire Burning, read by Rosamund Pike.

Rachel catches the same commuter train every morning. She knows it will wait at the same signal each time, overlooking a row of back gardens. She’s even started to feel like she knows the people who live in one of the houses. ‘Jess and Jason’, she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. If only Rachel could be that happy.

And then she sees something shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough.

Now everything’s changed. Now Rachel has a chance to become a part of the lives she’s only watched from afar.

Now they’ll see; she’s much more than just the girl on the train....

Beautifully observed and written. Thrilling in it's twists and turn and characterisation. A must have book by a new talent.

Superb!

Excellent plot and delivery, a true thriller, with lots of very neurotic, self destructive character that some how are real in a very familiar way.
Sexual politics is war in the trenches of suburbia, and everyone is fighting a private little war that no one can win, till it escalate out of control and the knives come out. We will all recognize some one in our past a slight deja vu of youth, and indiscretion well buried in the past. Saints will not understand this book and should not read it.
All three reader were excellent and created a small reality that added to the story.

Good, but over rated. I was expecting a classic, but worked out the murderer half way through.

The narrators bring the book to life.

Any additional comments?

I thought this was a superb book, really engrossing thriller with genuine suspense. The characters are that great mixture of quirky and not very pleasant. It is very well read and anyone who likes good thrillers will like this book.

Great Thriller...keeps you guessing until the end.

Ending of the book becomes rather cliche and not much left for the imagination.
Not the sensational hit I was hoping for.

Cliche ending
