“Paula Hawkins does it again, but in a new way. Unreliable narrators of their own memories and lives abound so the breadcrumbs are strewn all about. Just enough clues to make one vaguely uncomfortable about 'helpful' characters and some major incidents that are out of the blue (no pun intended). The island and the tides that make it unreachable at certain times of day are characters all on their own, but unlike the people, they at least are constant. ”

""The best Paula Hawkins yet – by a tense and haunting mile."" – Lee Child
""An atmospheric, stylish puzzle box of a thriller... truly exceptional."" – Liz Moore, New York Times bestselling author of The God of the Woods
""A masterful exploration of the nature of obsession...I loved it."" – Angie Kim, New York Times bestselling author of Happiness Falls and Miracle Creek
The propulsive and powerful new novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Girl on the Train
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.
