An Evening With Paula Hawkins

Author of Global No. 1 Bestseller The Girl on the Train

The record-breaking author of the 23 million-copy selling thriller The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins, joins us with a new tale to take you to the edge of your seat.

One of our greatest living writers of suspense, Paula Hawkins is the 21st century rival to Daphne du Maurier and Patricia Highsmith; a storyteller whose twisting plots and psychologically disturbed protagonists have enthralled millions of us across the globe.

Now the author of bestsellers including Into the Water, A Slow Fire Burning, and The Girl on the Train (which became a box office No. 1 movie starring Emily Blunt), Paula now plunges us into the upper echelons of the art world, and a story of money, loyalty, and betrayal that may be her finest work to date.

When a small bone at the centre of a famous sculpture is revealed to be human, three people become intimately connected by the secrets and lies that put it there.

Set on a Scottish tidal island connected to the mainland for just a few hours each day, and home to only one inhabitant, Paula’s new novel The Blue Hour asks questions of ambition, power, art and perception. Join her live in conversation at The House of Koko for an exclusive insight into the mind of one of the world’s favourite authors.
