The Hiding Place

A Novel

“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.

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.

Meh

It was a slow story. I kept waiting for something more. It paralleled Pet Sematary by King. Main character was unlikable …the BEST thing about the book was narrator.
