A supernatural tour-de-force' Daily Mail 'Haunting and atmospheric'
A.J. Gnuse, author of Girl in the Walls 'The perfect modern ghost
story' Katie Lowe, author of The Furies Some secrets can never be
concealed . . . Nell Galilee, her husband and twelve year old
step-daughter 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' Lucie McKnight Hardy 'Tense, atmospheric and
suffused with the peculiar longing of motherhood' Araminta Hall
'Full of intrigue . . . sure to leave readers unsettled' Anita
Frank, author of The Lost Ones
