Paula Hawkins

A single mother turns up dead at the bottom of the river that runs through town. Earlier in the summer, a vulnerable teenage girl met the same fate. They are not the first women lost to these dark waters, but their deaths disturb the river and its history, dredging up secrets long submerged. Left behind is a lonely fifteen-year-old girl. Parentless and friendless, she now finds herself in the care of her mother's sister, a fearful stranger who has been dragged back to the place she deliberately ran from--a place to which she vowed she'd never return. With the same propulsive writing and acute understanding of human instincts that captivated millions of readers around the world in her explosive debut thriller, The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins delivers an urgent, twisting, deeply satisfying read that hinges on the deceptiveness of emotion and memory, as well as the devastating ways that the past can reach a long arm into the present. Beware a calm surface--you never know what lies beneath. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD WINNER FOR MYSTERY/THRILLER

When a young man is found gruesomely murdered in a London houseboat, it triggers questions about three women who knew him. Laura is the troubled one-night-stand last seen in the victim’s home. Carla is his grief-stricken aunt, already mourning the recent death of yet another family member. And Miriam is the nosy neighbor clearly keeping secrets from the police. Three women with separate connections to the victim. Three women who are – for different reasons – simmering with resentment. Who are, whether they know it or not, burning to right the wrongs done to them. When it comes to revenge, even good people might be capable of terrible deeds. How far might any one of them go to find peace? How long can secrets smolder before they explode into flame? Look what you started.

Rachel catches the same commuter train every morning. She knows it will wait at the same signal each time, overlooking a row of back gardens. She’s even started to feel like she knows the people who live in one of the houses. “Jess and Jason,” she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. If only Rachel could be that happy. And then she sees something shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough. Now everything’s changed. Now Rachel has a chance to become a part of the lives she’s only watched from afar. Now they’ll see; she’s much more than just the girl on the train...

The spellbinding new novel from the internationally bestselling author of The Girl on the Train. An isolated Scottish island, accessible to the mainland only twelve hours a day. A famous (some might say infamous) artist whose notoriously unfaithful husband disappeared after visiting her twenty years ago. A present-day discovery that intimately connects three people and unveils a web of secrets and lies. A masterful and propulsive novel that asks searing questions of ambition, power, gender and perception, The Blue Hour recalls the very best of Shirley Jackson and Patricia Highsmith and cements Hawkins’s place among the very best of our most nuanced, powerful and stylish storytellers.

Quando il corpo di sua sorella Nel viene trovato in fondo al fiume di Beckford, nel nord dell'Inghilterra, Julia Abbott è costretta a fare ciò che non avrebbe mai voluto: mettere di nuovo piede nella soffocante cittadina della loro adolescenza, un luogo da cui i suoi ricordi, spezzati, confusi, a volte ambigui, l'hanno sempre tenuta lontana. Ma adesso che Nel è morta, è il momento di tornare. Di tutte le cose che Julia sa, o pensa di sapere, di sua sorella, ce n'è solo una di cui è certa davvero: Nel non si sarebbe mai buttata. Era ossessionata da quel fiume, e da tutte le donne che, negli anni, vi hanno trovato la fine - donne "scomode", difficili, come lei -, ma mai e poi mai le avrebbe seguite. Allora qual è il segreto che l'ha trascinata con sé dentro l'acqua? E perché Julia, adesso, ha così tanta paura di essere lì, nei luoghi del suo passato? La verità, sfuggente come l'acqua, è difficile da scoprire a Beckford: è sepolta sul fondo del fiume, negli sguardi bassi dei suoi abitanti, nelle loro vite intrecciate in cui nulla è come sembra.

Novo livro da autora do best-seller internacional A garota no trem. Com a mesma escrita frenética e a mesma noção precisa dos instintos humanos que cativaram milhões de leitores ao redor do mundo, Paula Hawkins nos presenteia com uma leitura vigorosa e que supera quaisquer expectativas, partindo das histórias que contamos sobre nosso passado e do poder que elas têm de destruir a vida que levamos no presente. Nos dias que antecederam sua morte, Nel ligou para a irmã, Jules, que não atendeu o telefone e simplesmente ignorou seu apelo por ajuda. Agora Nel está morta. Dizem que ela se suicidou. E Jules foi obrigada a voltar ao único lugar do qual achou que havia escapado para sempre. Mas ela está com medo. De seu passado há muito enterrado e por saber que Nel jamais teria se jogado para a morte. E, acima de tudo, ela está com medo do rio, e do trecho que todos chamam de Poço dos Afogamentos…

Rachel neemt elke ochtend dezelfde trein. Elke dag hobbelt ze over het spoor, langs een rij charmante huizen in een buitenwijk van Londen, en stopt daar altijd voor hetzelfde rode sein. Zo kijkt ze elke ochtend naar een stel dat op hun terras ontbijt. Ze heeft inmiddels het gevoel dat ze hen persoonlijk kent en noemt hen ‘Jess en Jason’. Hun leven – in Rachels ogen – is perfect. Een beetje zoals haar eigen leven dat ooit was. Op een dag ziet ze iets vreemds in hun tuin. De trein rijdt gewoon weer door, maar voor Rachel verandert alles. Niet in staat om het voor zichzelf te houden, stapt ze naar de politie met haar verhaal, wanneer blijkt dat 'Jess' vermist wordt. Hiermee raakt ze niet alleen verwikkeld in de gebeurtenissen die volgen, maar ook in de levens van iedereen die erbij betrokken is. Maar wie is er te vertrouwen? Heeft ze meer kwaad dan goed gedaan door zich met deze zaak te bemoeien?

Het Tate Modern-museum in Londen houdt een tentoonstelling over ‘Beeldhouwwerken en natuur’. Een van de werken in bruikleen is van Vanessa Chapman, een beroemde – sommigen zouden zeggen beruchte – kunstenares. Als de tentoonstelling net geopend is, ontvangt het museum een verontrustend bericht. Een zeer vooraanstaand forensisch antropoloog claimt dat in het kunstwerk gebruik is gemaakt van een menselijk bot. En dat terwijl de notoir ontrouwe echtgenoot van de kunstenares twintig jaar geleden op miraculeuze wijze is verdwenen…Kunstkenner James Becker reist af naar de Schotse kust om de waarheid boven water te halen. Vanessa’s nalatenschap wordt beheerd op een geïsoleerd eiland dat alleen met eb bereikbaar is. Ga je erheen, dan kom je er de komende zes uur niet meer weg. Ligt de waarheid op het eiland begraven?

VI NE ZNATE TKO JE ONA, ALI ONA ZNA SVE O VAMA. Rachel svako jutro putuje vlakom na posao. Zna da ce svaki dan vlak stati uvijek na istom semaforu, s pogledom na niz vrtova iza kuca. Jedna ce joj kuca posebno zapeti za oko. Umislit ce si da poznaje njezine stanare i nazvat ce ih Jess i Jason. Njihov život – kako ga ona vidi – savršen je, za razliku od njezina koji se nakon razvoda poceo raspadati. A onda ce se dogoditi nešto šokantno. Samo na minutu, prije nego što vlak krene dalje Rachel ce shvatiti da život idilicne obitelji nije tako savršen. Sve ce se promijeniti, savršena ce obitelj završiti na naslovnicama novina, a Rachel u njihovoj kuci i postati dio života koji je dotad samo gledala iz vlaka. “Djevojka u vlaku... savršeno je napisan i pripovjedacki genijalno zamišljen roman.” - THE WASHINGTON POST

Jeden Morgen pendelt Rachel mit dem Zug in die Stadt, und jeden Morgen hält der Zug an der gleichen Stelle auf der Strecke an. Rachel blickt in die Gärten der umliegenden Häuser, beobachtet ihre Bewohner. Oft sieht sie ein junges Paar: Jess und Jason nennt Rachel die beiden. Sie führen – wie es scheint – ein perfektes Leben. Ein Leben, wie Rachel es sich wünscht. Eines Tages beobachtet sie etwas Schockierendes. Kurz darauf liest sie in der Zeitung vom Verschwinden einer Frau – daneben ein Foto von »Jess«. Rachel meldet ihre Beobachtung der Polizei und verstrickt sich damit unentrinnbar in die folgenden Ereignisse...

Tras cautivar a veinte millones de lectores en todo el mundo con La chica del tren, Paula Hawkins vuelve con una apasionante novela sobre las historias que nos contamos al recordar nuestro pasado y su poder para destruirnos. Pocos días antes de morir, Nel Abbott estuvo llamando a su hermana, pero Jules no cogió el teléfono, ignoró sus súplicas de ayuda. Ahora Nel está muerta. Dicen que saltó al río. Y Jules se ve arrastrada al pequeño pueblo de los veranos de su infancia, un lugar del que creía haber escapado, para cuidar de la adolescente que su hermana deja atrás. Pero Jules tiene miedo. Mucho miedo. Miedo al agua, miedo de sus recuerdos enterrados largo tiempo atrás, y miedo, sobre todo, de su certeza de que Nel nunca habría saltado…

Biography : Paula Hawkins is a British author, best known for her 2015 novel The Girl on the Train. Hawkins was born and raised in Harare, Zimbabwe. Her father was an economics professor and financial journalist. She moved to London in 1989 at the age of 17, and later studied philosophy, politics and economics at the University of Oxford. She worked as a journalist for The Times, reporting on business. She then worked for a number of publications on a freelance basis, and wrote a financial advice book for women, The Money Goddess. Around 2009 Hawkins began to write romantic comedy fiction under the name Amy Silver, writing four novels including Confessions of a Reluctant Recissionista. She did not achieve commercial breakthrough until she challenged herself to write a darker, more serious story. Her best-selling novel of 2015 The Girl on the Train, was a complex thriller with themes of domestic violence, alcohol and drug abuse.The novel took her 6 months writing full time to complete at a time when she was in a difficult financial situation and had to borrow from her father to be able to complete it.[ Summary : The Girl on the Train (2015) is a best-selling novel by British author Paula Hawkins. The novel debuted at number one on the The New York Times Fiction Best Sellers of 2015 list (the combined print and e-book list) dated February 1, 2015, and remained in the top position for 13 consecutive weeks as of the list dated April 26, 2015. By early March 2015 the novel had sold over 1 million copies, and 1.5 million by April. It has spent 20 weeks at the top of the UK hardback book chart, the longest any book has ever held the top spot. The story begins with 32 year-old Rachel Watson commuting from a suburb into London on the train. While on her commutes, Rachel watches outside the window and develops an obsession with the couple who live down the street from Rachel's previous home, Scott and Megan Hipwell. They moved in after Rachel moved out so she does not know them, but calls them Jason and Jess, imagining them to be the perfect couple. In reality, Megan is having an affair with Rachel's remarried husband and has become pregnant. Rachel is an alcoholic who split from her husband, Tom, two years prior, when he was having an affair with another woman. Rachel began drinking because she desperately wanted a child, but was unable to get pregnant. Rachel's drinking was unbearable and made her boring to Tom, so he amused himself by exaggerating and lying about her drunken behavior when she couldn't remember it, as well as by cheating on her. Now living in her college acquaintance Cathy's spare bedroom, Rachel spends her day riding the trains and walking around London. Fired for being drunk at work, she has yet to reveal to Cathy that she's unemployed and living off her savings. Tom still occupies the home they had shared, now living there with his wife and former mistress, Anna, and infant daughter. Rachel is still deeply in love with Tom and calls and emails him at all hours of the night. This leads to tensions with Tom's current wife.

I dagene før hun døde ringte Nel Abbott søsteren. Jules tok ikke telefonen, og ignorerte søsterens bønn om hjelp. Nå er Nel død. De sier at hun hoppet. Og Jules har kommet tilbake til det ene stedet hun hadde sverget på at hun aldri skulle komme tilbake til. Hun er redd, veldig redd. Hun er redd for sine fortrengte minner, for det gamle Møllehuset, fordi hun vet at Nel aldri ville ha hoppet. Men mest av alt frykter hun vannet og stedet de kaller Døvika. En ny og intens leseopplevelse fra forfatteren av Piken på toget.

Rachel tar det samme toget hver dag. Fra toget ser hun det samme paret spise frokost på verandaen sin. Hun kaller dem Jason og Jess, og de virker så glade. En dag ser hun en annen person i hagen. Kort tid etter er Jess på nyhetene. Hun har forsvunnet. Rachel trekkes mot etterforskningen og prøver å bidra. I stedet blir hun selv mistenkt. Kastet ut i en verden full av svik, hemmeligheter og bedrageri, må hun konfrontere fortiden sin. Tre kvinner, tre menn, knyttet sammen gjennom ekteskap eller utroskap. Hver av dem kan klandres for noe. Men bare en av dem er en morder i denne psykologiske thrilleren om sårbarhet og besettelse. Piken på toget er en illevarslende og sammenfiltret historie om jakten etter sannheten.

Todas as manhãs Rachel pega o trem das 8h04 de Ashbury para Londres. O arrastar trepidante pelos trilhos faz parte de sua rotina. O percurso, que ela conhece de cor, é um hipnotizante passeio de galpões, caixas d’água, pontes e aconchegantes casas. Em determinado trecho, o trem para no sinal vermelho. E é de lá que Rachel observa diariamente a casa de número 15. Obcecada com seus belos habitantes – a quem chama de Jess e Janson –, Rachel é capaz de descrever o que imagina ser a vida perfeita do jovem casal. Até testemunhar uma cena chocante, segundos antes de o trem dar um solavanco e seguir viagem. Poucos dias depois, ela descobre que Jess – na verdade Megan – está desaparecida. Sem conseguir se manter alheia à situação, ela vai à polícia e conta o que viu. E acaba não só participando diretamente do desenrolar dos acontecimentos, mas também da vida de todos os envolvidos. Uma narrativa extremamente inteligente e repleta de reviravoltas, A garota no trem é um thriller digno de Hitchcock a ser compulsivamente devorado.

La vita di Rachel non è di quelle che vorresti spiare. Vive sola, non ha amici, e ogni mattina prende lo stesso treno, che la porta dalla periferia di Londra al suo grigio lavoro in città. Quel viaggio sempre uguale è il momento preferito della sua giornata. Seduta accanto al finestrino, può osservare, non vista, le case e le strade che scorrono fuori e, quando il treno si ferma puntualmente a uno stop, può spiare una coppia, un uomo e una donna senza nome che ogni mattina fanno colazione in veranda. Un appuntamento cui Rachel, nella sua solitudine, si è affezionata. Li osserva, immagina le loro vite, ha perfino dato loro un nome: per lei, sono Jess e Jason, la coppia perfetta dalla vita perfetta. Non come la sua. Ma una mattina Rachel, su quella veranda, vede qualcosa che non dovrebbe vedere. E da quel momento per lei cambia tutto. La rassicurante invenzione di Jess e Jason si sgretola, e la sua stessa vita diventerà inestricabilmente legata a quella della coppia. Ma che cos’ha visto davvero Rachel? Nelle mani sapienti di Paula Hawkins, il lettore viene travolto da una serie di bugie, verità, colpi di scena e ribaltamenti della trama che rendono questo romanzo un thriller da leggere compulsivamente, con un finale ineguagliabile. Decisamente il debutto dell’anno, ai vertici di tutte le classifiche.

Une semaine avant sa mort, Nel a appelé sa sœur, Julia. Qui n'a pas voulu lui répondre. Alors que le corps de Nel vient d'être retrouvé dans la rivière qui traverse Beckford, leur ville natale, Julia est effrayée à l'idée de revenir sur les lieux de son enfance. De quoi a-t-elle le plus peur ? D'affronter l e prétendu suicide de sa sœur ? De s'occuper de Lena, sa nièce de quinze ans, qu'elle ne connaît pas ? Ou de faire face à un passé qu'elle a toujours fui ? Plus que tout encore, c'est peut-être la rivière qui la terrifie, ces eaux à la fois enchanteresses et mortelles, où, depuis toujours, les tragédies se succèdent. Julia, Lena, Nel : avec ce superbe portrait de trois femmes en quête d'elles mêmes, aux prises avec les pesanteurs du passé, on retrouve l'infinie compréhension pour ses personnages dont témoignait déjà Paula Hawkins dans La Fille du train. On y retrouve, surtout, sa virtuosité et un talent incroyable pour tenir le lecteur en haleine jusqu'à l'ultime rebondissement, qui marquera tous les esprits.

Entre la banlieue où elle habite et Londres, Rachel prend le train deux fois par jour : à 8 h 04 le matin, à 17 h 56 le soir. Et chaque jour elle observe, lors d'un arrêt, une jolie maison en contrebas de la voie ferrée. Cette maison, elle la connaît par coeur, elle a même donné un nom à ses occupants : Jason et Jess. Un couple qu'elle imagine parfait. Heureux, comme Rachel et son mari ont pu l'être par le passé, avant qu'il ne la trompe, avant qu'il ne la quitte. Jusqu'à ce matin où Rachel voit Jess dans son jardin avec un autre homme que Jason. La jeune femme aurait-elle une liaison ? Bouleversée de voir ainsi son couple modèle risquer de se désintégrer comme le sien, Rachel décide d'en savoir plus. Quelques jours plus tard, elle découvre avec stupeur la photo d'un visage familier à la Une des journaux : Jess a mystérieusement disparu...

Mira lo que has provocado. El descubrimiento del cuerpo de un joven asesinado brutalmente en una casa flotante de Londres desencadena sospechas sobre tres mujeres. Laura es la chica conflictiva que quedó con la víctima la noche en que murió; Carla, aún de luto por la muerte de un familiar, es la tía del joven; y Miriam es la indiscreta vecina que oculta información sobre el caso a la policía. Tres mujeres que no se conocen, pero que tienen distintas conexiones con la víctima. Tres mujeres que, por diferentes razones, viven con resentimiento y que, consciente o inconscientemente, esperan el momento de reparar el daño que se les ha hecho. Con la misma intensidad con la que ha cautivado a 27 millones de lectores en todo el mundo la autora de La chica del tren, Paula Hawkins, nos ofrece un brillante thriller sobre las heridas que provocan los secretos que ocultamos.

À Londres, trois femmes sont frappées de plein fouet par l'assassinat d'un jeune homme à bord de sa péniche : Carla, sa tante, Miriam, sa voisine, qui a découvert le corps, et Laura, avec qui la victime a passé sa dernière nuit. Si elles ne se connaissent pas, ces trois femmes ont un point commun : chacune a été victime d'une injustice qui a gâché sa vie. Chacune couve une colère qui ne demande qu'à exploser. L'une d'elles aurait-elle commis l'irrémédiable pour réparer les torts qu'elle a subis ? Paula Hawkins, l'auteure de La Fille du train, qui a conquis des millions de lecteurs à travers le monde, revient avec un nouveau roman éblouissant, à l'intrigue incandescente. Sous sa plume, trois femmes, qui brûlent de prendre leur revanche, vont voir leur monde s'embraser. Trois femmes, une vengeance. Jusqu'où sont-elles prêtes à aller pour obtenir réparation ? Après La fille du train et Au fond de l'eau, le nouveau roman de Paula Hawkins !

In het stadje Beckford wordt Nel, een alleenstaande moeder, dood aangetroffen in de rivier. Eerder die zomer sprong een tienermeisje op dezelfde plek haar dood tegemoet. Ze zijn niet de eerste vrouwen die ten prooi vallen aan deze donkere wateren, en hun dood veroorzaakt een golf van onrust over de rivier en zijn geschiedenis. Lena, de vijftienjarige dochter van Nel, blijft alleen achter. Daarom moet Nels zus, Jules, terugkeren naar het stadje dat ze jaren geleden de rug heeft toegekeerd. Voorgoed, dacht ze toen. In dezelfde hypnotiserende stijl als 'Het meisje in de trein', het debuut waarmee Paula Hawkins miljoenen lezers wereldwijd wist te raken, ontspint zich een verbluffend en gelaagd verhaal dat zich afspeelt in een kleine gemeenschap, waar pijnlijk duidelijk wordt dat herinneringen niet te vertrouwen zijn…
