For twelve hours each day, the Scottish island of Eris is cut off from the mainland. No way in. No way out. The island's only house was once home to Vanessa, whose notoriously unfaithful husband disappeared twenty years ago. Now this remote and beautiful place is home to Grace . . . a solitary creature of the tides, guarding the island's past.

But far away in London, a stranger has just made a startling discovery - a human bone where no human bone should be. And in that moment Grace's precious isolation is threatened.

How will she respond? Can she be trusted? Or is it Grace who should be afraid?

Suddenly this is a very dangerous time to be alone . . .

'A darkly atmospheric, engaging mystery - her best book since The Girl On The Train.' Good Housekeeping (Book of the Year)

Reviews for The Blue Hour

Beautifully written, intriguing and atmospheric, The Blue Hour cuts to the heart of the artist’s visceral process, and the chillingly fine line between love and hate. It is a real page-turner * BELINDA BAUER * What an addictive, exhilarating book, so beautifully composed and brilliantly conceived. And what a heartstopping, haunting ending. Paula is a true master of her art. * DONAL RYAN * Paula Hawkins has more in common with Patricia Highsmith than just her initials. She combines dark, unsettling plots with psychologically damaged characters, to create novels that are as compulsive as they are complex. The Blue Hour is her finest work yet, a literary thriller set in the abstract world of art. * JOHN BOYNE * The Blue Hour swept me along on a tide as unforgiving and irresistible as the one around the island of Eris.’ * VAL MCDERMID * The best Paula Hawkins yet - by a tense and haunting mile. * LEE CHILD *
