Story
Everyone in the small town of Denton is searching for Isabelle Coleman, a missing 17-year-old girl. All they've found so far is her phone and another girl they didn't even know was missing. Mute and completely unresponsive to the world around her, it's clear this mysterious girl has been damaged beyond repair. All Detective Josie Quinn can get from her is a name: Ramona. Currently suspended from the force for misconduct, Josie takes matters into her own hands as the name leads her to evidence linking the two girls.

Story
I tell myself that Max couldn’t kill anyone. He’s a family man now, different to who he was before. Even so, I should go to the police right away. But I can’t. Because if I do, I’m scared they’ll start to suspect me. How much do I really know about the girl in room 12? And if the truth comes out, how far will I go to protect my precious family?

Story
Last night, we celebrated our anniversary. Over candlelight, we talked about the children, our work, and I was so happy, and felt so loved. But the next morning, when I check my phone, there is a message. From a friend. And a string of photos appear of my husband, Will, with another woman: walking along the street holding hands. Going into fancy hotels. Standing at a window, his arms around her, her head on his shoulder…

Story
"I am Eva Delectorskaya," Sally Gilmartin announces, and so on a warm summer afternoon in 1976 her daughter, Ruth, learns that everything she ever knew about her mother was a carefully constructed lie. Sally Gilmartin is a respectable English widow living in picturesque Cotswold village; Eva Delectorskaya was a rigorously trained World War II spy, a woman who carried fake passports and retreated to secret safe houses, a woman taught to lie and deceive, and above all, to never trust anyone. Three decades later the secrets of Sally's past still haunt her.

Story
I only try on one of Nina’s pristine white dresses once. Just to see what it’s like. But she soon finds out...and by the time I realize my attic bedroom door only locks from the outside, it’s far too late. But I reassure myself: The Winchesters don’t know who I really am. They don’t know what I’m capable of....

Story
Fran finds her standing by the swings. A little girl, Esther, no older than seven years old, by herself in the dead of night, her pretty but old-fashioned yellow dress covered in grass stains and her hair dishevelled. She says she's waiting for Father, and that strikes Fran as particularly odd. After Esther is reunited with her family, Fran can't stop thinking about this pious child whose imaginary friend is God. Fran's instincts tell her something is very wrong. Why does Esther keep running away from home, and how did she get that bruise on her leg?

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The scorching Sunday Times number one best seller from the author of The Girl on the Train.
Penguin presents the audio edition of A Slow Fire Burning, read by Rosamund Pike.
What is wrong with you?
Laura has spent most of her life being judged. She's seen as hot-tempered, troubled, a loner. Some even call her dangerous.
Miriam knows that just because Laura is witnessed leaving the scene of a horrific murder with blood on her clothes, that doesn't mean she's a killer. Bitter experience has taught her how easy it is to get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Carla is reeling from the brutal murder of her nephew. She trusts no one: good people are capable of terrible deeds. But how far will she go to find peace?
Innocent or guilty, everyone is damaged. Some are damaged enough to kill.
Look what you started.
Critic Reviews
"Shocking, moving, full of heart.... Laced with humour and packed with moments of sheer horror, A Slow Fire Burning shows a writer at the height of her powers." (Observer, Thriller of the Month)
"Superbly told, its twists and turns reveal the slow fire burning inside each which might just destroy them. Utterly compelling." (Daily Mail)
"Fast-paced, highly charged and carried off with so much confidence that it is impossible to resist." (Sunday Times)

Slow start. But worth it. Excellent narration
Rosamund Pike brought each character to life with superb narration. l was a tad perplexed at the start and had to begin a again to catch all the threads. Resolves superbly at the end.

Smart convoluted story - brilliantly read.
I thoroughly enjoyed this very clever and humorously told story. What added to it was the amazing voice and acting talents of Rosalind Pike. Altogether - an extremely rewarding experience.

Good read, excellent narration
Liked the twists and personalities and how characters were brought into the story line. Narrator mastered so many character voices superbly. Probably enjoyed Girl on a Train more but enjoyed this too.

The narration makes this story
Thoroughly enjoyed the audio production. Rosalind brings the characters to life with distinct personality. Not sure how this would read as the story flits constantly between different points of view. But as an audio book I was hooked.
