We are delighted to welcome you to an evening with Paula Hawkins to discuss her gritty crime drama The Blue Hour in partnership with Good Housekeeping's Good Books. A truly unputdownable thriller from the bestselling author of The Girl on the Train and A Slow Fire Burning that pitches three people on a Scottish tidal island into a nightmare when a bone at the centre of a sculpture turns out to be human. Paula was the Winner of the GH Good Books Summer Collection, voted for by readers of Good Housekeeping.
Paula Hawkins worked as a journalist for fifteen years before writing her first novel. Born and brought up in Zimbabwe, she moved to London in 1989. Her first thriller The Girl on the Train became a global phenomenon, selling over 23 million copies. Published in over fifty languages, it was a No.1 bestseller around the world and a box-office-hit film starring Emily Blunt. Paula's subsequent thrillers have all been instant Sunday Times bestsellers. In 2021 A Slow Fire Burning was nominated for Thriller of the Year at the British Book Awards, and in 2025 The Blue Hour was voted the Good Housekeeping Good Books winner.
