The Blue Hour is the new novel from global bestselling author Paula Hawkins – and it’s her most suspenseful and powerful book yet.

Eerie, lush and dark, The Blue Hour is a psychological thriller about hidden truths and the dangers that come with uncovering them.

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.

‘The best Paula Hawkins yet – by a tense and haunting mile.’ – Lee Child
