The Hiding Place

- Reviews -

This book delivers on its premise and then some! This novel about a creepy school and a deadly game gone wrong is both compelling and beautifully written and infused with a simmering tension - I couldn' t stop turning the pages! -- Sarah Pearse, author of The Sanatorium A terrifyingly tense thriller that takes you to the darkest places of the human heart -- Elly Griffiths, The Locked Room The Hiding Place by Simon Lelic totally ruined by evenings! A taut pacy murder mystery that just won' t stop turning pages. Lelic manages to combine Golden age whodunnit charm with a hypnotic mystery. The thinking reader' s writer Lelic never disappoints and this one is the best yet -- Imran Mahmood, author of You Don' t Know Me 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 Lelic' s best yet. As beautifully crafted as ever, and builds layer upon layer of tension -- Cara Hunter, author of The Whole Truth Dual timelines unravel the truth behind a deadly game in a sinister boarding school & the present day hunt for a killer. Tense, full of misdirection & beautifully written -- Gilly Macmillan, author of The Nanny I finished reading The Hiding Place by Simon Lelic yesterday. It opens with a chilling first page and the tone is set for a dark and disturbing thriller right up to the heart-stopping finale. A must read -- Michael Wood ' Skilful and compelling' * OBSERVER, THRILLER OF THE MONTH * ' An intricate and powerful thriller' -- TANA FRENCH ' A brilliantly tense tale' -- ARAMINTA HALL ' A bloody good read and the very definition of unpredictable' -- JOHN MARRS
