Every family has its secrets...
Four years after being abandoned by their abusive mother, headstrong Elise Montgomery and her timid younger brother Sebastian are finally rebuilding their childhood at their grandmother’s isolated woodland home.
But on a sweltering summer’s day, tragedy is about to come calling again.
When Nana May is killed in a horrible accident, the siblings find themselves terrified and alone. Sebastian wants to contact their one remaining relative, the elusive Uncle Edward. However, Elise insists they hide away from the outside world.
But the outside world is the least of their troubles.
In a house built on secrets and lies, the children will soon discover that nothing is as it seems...and danger lies much, much closer to home.
Jumping between past and present, and building to a shocking conclusion, The Hiding House is a gripping and unique mix of dark family drama, fairy tale, and British psychological suspense.
