Some secrets can never be concealed. . . .

Nell Galilee, her husband, and twelve-year-old stepdaughter Maude rent a holiday cottage by the sea, needing time and space away from home. Nell grew up in this small, wind-blown town and has mixed feelings about returning, and it isn't long before she is recognised by a neighbour, seemingly desperate to befriend her. The cottage has been empty for some time, and from the start Nell feels uncomfortable there. Something isn't quite right about this place. . . .

Maude, furious about being brought here against her will, soon finds herself beguiled by the house's strange atmosphere. There are peculiar marks in the roof beams above her bedroom, and in another room, a hiding place, concealing a strange, unnerving object.

As the house gradually reveals its secrets, Nell becomes increasingly uneasy—and Maude spellbound. But these women—and the women that surround them—are harbouring their own secrets too, and soon events will come to a terrible head. . . .

A brilliant, unsettling, and chilling ghost story of mothers and daughters, truth and deception that asks how far you would go, to get what you truly desire. . . .

Everyone is talking about The Hiding Place. . . .

There's nothing like a haunted house to get the heart racing, and this deliciously dark contemporary gothic tale set in Whitby will do just that. Hugely atmospheric, the writer builds the tension gradually—unsettling and creepy, it's a perfect supernatural read for Halloween.

My Weekly

Satisfyingly unsettling, this is a hugely atmospheric novel that oozes with uncanny menace.
