“A taut, slow-burning thriller.” –Boston Globe
“Truly exceptional.” – Liz Moore, New York Times bestselling author of The God of the Woods
Welcome to Eris: an island with only one house, one inhabitant, one way out. Unreachable from the Scottish mainland for twelve hours each day.
Once home to Vanessa: A famous artist whose notoriously unfaithful husband disappeared twenty years ago.
Now home to Grace: A solitary creature of the tides, content in her own isolation.
But when a shocking discovery is made in an art gallery far away in London, a visitor comes calling.
And the secrets of Eris threaten to emerge….
A masterful novel that is as page-turning as it is unsettling, The Blue Hour recalls the sophisticated suspense of Shirley Jackson and Patricia Highsmith and cements Hawkins’s place among the very best of our most nuanced and stylish storytellers.
“Reminiscent of du Maurier: art, islands, missing spouses … A compelling piece of work, hard to put down.” — Mick Herron
“The best Paula Hawkins yet – by a tense and haunting mile.” — Lee Child
“An atmospheric and marvelously twisty novel– Paula Hawkins returns with an examination of legacy, and the mountains we’ll move to feel like we belong. THE BLUE HOUR builds a labyrinth of surprises, which deliver through to the very last page.” — Danya Kukafka, author of Notes on an Execution
