A Slow Fire Burning

Picked up this morning at Cup O Joe in Clintonville. I liked The Girl on the Train, and was excited to find something there!
Book description from GoodReads:
"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."

I just finished reading this last night. It was hard for me to follow at times. I could easily visualize the houseboats on the canal and picture Miriam and Laura, but the rest of the characters blurred together in my mind.
Not as good as The Girl on the Train, but okay.
