It is impossible to write about Paula Hawkins without reference to the book that started it all. The Girl on the Train was, and remains, a phenomenon. It has sold an estimated 23 million copies worldwide and became the template for every psychological thriller that followed it.

Yet this is clearly no one-book wonder. Hawkins came roaring back with two more Sunday Times number one bestsellers in Into the Water and A Slow Fire Burning, both published to critical and public acclaim. Her new novel, the much-anticipated Blind Spot, reaffirms her mastery of twists and intrigue.

Paula Hawkins is interviewed by author NJ Cooper.
