Publisher Review

Paula Hawkins has more in common with Patricia Highsmith than just her initials . . . The Blue Hour is her finest work yet. * JOHN BOYNE * An addictive, exhilarating book. * DONAL RYAN * A tensely atmospheric and layered exploration of artistic drive and devotion; loyalty and betrayal; class, money and revenge . . . I loved it. * CHARLOTTE WOOD *
