Her father, an economist and financial journalist, was a professor at the University of Edinburgh. Hawkins studied at Arundel School, Harare, Zimbabwe, before transferring to London in 1989, aged 17.

She worked as a reporter for The Times, writing about company. She later worked for a freelance basis and wrote The Money Goddess, a financial advice book for women.
Hawkins began writing romantic comedy fiction under the name Amy Silver in 2009, and Confessions of a Reluctant Recessionista was released. She didn't succeed in business until she challenged herself to write a darker, more serious book. The Girl on the Train, her best-selling book, was a complicated thriller with themes of domestic violence, alcohol, and drug use. The novel took six months, writing full-time, at a time when she was in a difficult financial situation and had to borrow from her father. In 2016, the novel was turned into a film. She was named as one of the BBC's Top 100 Women in November 2016. Into The Water, Paula's second thriller, was released in May 2017 and has since gone on to become a Sunday Times and NYT best-selling thriller. On August 31, 2021, A Slow Fire Burning was published.
