'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 'Mason is one
of the best ghost story writers around today' Jess Kidd 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
