My Rating: TBR
A stylish and immersive new novel of ambition, legacy, and betrayal from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Girl on the Train.
An isolated Scottish island, accessible to the mainland only twelve hours a day. A famous (some might say infamous) artist whose notoriously unfaithful husband disappeared after visiting her twenty years ago.
A present-day discovery that intimately connects three people and unveils a web of secrets and lies.
A masterful and propulsive novel that asks searing questions of ambition, power, gender and perception, The Blue Hour recalls the very best of Shirley Jackson and Patricia Highsmith and cements Hawkins’s place among the very best of our most nuanced, powerful and stylish storytellers.
Praise
“It's very good - reminiscent of du Maurier: art, islands, missing spouses ... A compelling piece of work, hard to put down.”
— Mick Herron
