Resumen del Editor

“The Hiding Place is terrific in every way.” (Lee Child)

From the acclaimed author of The Chalk Man comes an unputdownable psychological thriller about a man who returns home to settle old scores - and uncovers a secret darker than he could have imagined.

Joe never wanted to come back to Arnhill. After the way things ended with his old gang - the betrayal, the suicide - and what happened when his sister went missing, the last thing he wanted to do was return to his hometown. But Joe doesn’t have a choice, not after a chilling email surfaces in his inbox: I know what happened to your sister. It’s happening again....

Lying his way into a teaching job at his former high school is the easy part. Facing off with onetime friends who aren’t too happy to have him back in town - while avoiding the enemies he’s made in the years since - is tougher. But the hardest part of all will be returning to the abandoned mine where his life changed forever, and finally confronting the horrifying truth about Arnhill, his sister, and himself. Because for Joe, the worst moment of his life wasn’t the day his sister went missing. It was the day she came back.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Tudor maintains a tone of creeping dread throughout the book, of something lingering always in the background, coyly hiding its face while whispering promises of very bad things to come. In the last quarter, however, she goes for broke with outright horror, giving readers an effective jolt of adrenaline that will carry them all the way to the terrifying conclusion. Readers won’t know what hit them. Tudor came out swinging with The Chalk Man, but this one puts her firmly on the map. Not to be missed.” (Kirkus)

“Tudor has crafted another fantastic horror-tinged thriller (after The Chalk Man, 2018) in the vein of John Connolly and Brendan Duffy." (Booklist)

"Some writers have it, and some don't. CJ Tudor has it big time - The Hiding Place is terrific in every way." (Lee Child)

Wow!

I didn't even expect this type of book. I absolutely loved it. Narrator was the best! The story was great, Don't read alone at night!

suspenful

Even w all the homework nursing school brings, I could not stay away from this book. loved it so much i hated that it had to end

It was Ok

The last portion of the book left unanswered questions. There were two story lines then all of a sudden there were more. It reminds me of movies where nothing happens for the first 1 hrs and a half and then the last 30 min is filled with explosion and twist. Everything has to get wrapped up quickly. It just feels empty. I wouldn't recommend. The speaker was awesome tho.

Great read

I really enjoyed this book, like her other books she mixes in a little horror in with her mystery and really weave a fascinating story.

Meh

The story only gets going towards the end, and then only briefly. Ultimately unsatisfying. Will look at reviews before reading the author’s next

Creepy and suspenseful

I I admit I only ordered this because it was recommended by Lee Child. However I could not stop listening. I usually figure out the plot long before the end but, I didn't figure this one out. Not a dull moment. I very much enjoyed the book and I am headed back for another by this author. Give it a try.

5 star sophomore follow up.

If you thought CHALK MAN had a dark and claustrophobic vibe, wait until you read THE HIDING PLACE. My highest recommendation.

This was a grest book

I enjoyed this book very much and I would recommend it to you . It told a great story and it's a great read.

It was okay

This is my second book by C.J. Tudor. The Chalk Man was my first and I really enjoyed it. This one felt like it had me all over the place. It was creepy, some horror, and at times it had me a bit confused. Not a bad story, just not my favorite.

Love C.J. Tudor

Just recently became acquainted with Tudor’s work. After enjoying three of her books, I’m hooked.
