Praise for The Hiding Place

''A terrifyingly tense

Trade Review
A terrifyingly tense thriller that takes you to the darkest places of the human heart -- Elly Griffiths, The Locked Room
I loved this. A great police procedural centred on a boarding school with a potent mix of privilege and the fall out from toxic parenting, building up to a gripping, breathless denouement. Great stuff -- Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange
Another totally thrilling page-turner. Masterful writing about teenage insecurity again, with a plot that twists and turns in to such a dramatic conclusion. Also so filmic, I could see every scene - surely has to be adapted! -- Araminta Hall, author of Hidden Depths
