Into the Water Paula Hawkins /and will her new book do well?

Into the Water Hardcover by Paula Hawkins

Paula Hawkins is a British author who wrote "The Girl on the Train".  It has been published in over forty languages, has been a #1 bestseller around the world, and is now a major motion picture starring Emily Blunt. The book is a psychological thriller novel which deals with themes of domestic violence, alcohol, and drug abuse. The books success is amazing. Amazon has over 56,000 reviews for the book. Even though the overall rating is 4 stars out of 5 there are negative comments and people have mixed comments.  The negatives are that book is a “fast read”. The plot moves you quickly, but it doesn’t stick with you too long when you finish.

With this kind of former success, and another book coming, you wonder how the new book will do?

I wanted to know more about this author?  She worked as a journalist for fifteen years before turning her hand to fiction. She was born and brought up in Zimbabwe.  Paula moved to London in 1989. She moved to darker fiction as a style after her book The Money Goddess: The Complete Financial Makeover was released in 2007.

"Into the Water", is scheduled to be released May 2, 2017.  It is her second dark fiction thriller.

Will “Into the Water” do as well as “The Girl on the Train”?  We will have to wait to see. The book will be released on May 2nd, 2017.
