The Blue Hour

De: Paula Hawkins

Narrado por: Gemma Whelan

The spellbinding new novel from the internationally 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 binge-worthy 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.

The Descriptions

The tiny moments, which make up impactful memories are caught by this writer beautifully. Very worthwhile reading.

No ending. Unfinished.

Helena, Sebastian, Emmaline, and Marguerite are pointless in the plot. Needs a really good edit. Seemed like Hawkins needed to “wrap it up” at the end, but couldn’t work out how. The reader will never know what happened to the most sympathetic and least sympathetic characters — Becker and Grace.
