Robert Poole, Costco's book buyer, has selected A Slow Fire Burning by Paula Hawkins (Riverhead, $28, 9780735211230) as his pick for September. In Costco Connection, which goes to many of the warehouse club's members, he writes:
"A Slow Fire Burning, by Paula Hawkins, tells the story of a murdered man and the three women in his orbit: his most recent conquest, his aunt and a nosy neighbor.
"On the surface the three women have no connections other than their ties to the murdered man. However, each is simmering with resentment, and each wants to right the wrongs that have been done.
"This thriller is filled with all of the plot twists and unexpected turns that readers expect from Hawkins."
