The Blue Hour

**WINNER of Good Housekeeping UK's GH GOOD BOOKS Collection**

Vivid, extremely tense, unnervingly unputdownable. This is a superb, powerful read. Independent

Undoubtedly Hawkins best novel yet Observer
*****

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)
