Quintana's books have a way of taking the thriller genre and making it utterly relatable with drama . This book is no different. It continues in with Jenny's style of flitting in between two eras flawlessly and answers a question albeit with an unfortunate answer. I found that I wasn't drawn to the main protagonist as much as in her other books and wanted to find out more about Eva. I really enjoyed the different historical mentions that honoured different injustices that the 20th century has faced. At times however I simply wasn't very interested in parts of the story. For example, I found that the time given to Victor was still far too much and unnecessary. The hidden pregnancies and discussions of abortions in the 60s were very interesting however not explored better and could confuse a reader who doesn't understand the difficulties faced at that time. However, still a great read.

I have read Jenny's two previous books, The Missing Girl and Our Dark Secret and thoroughly enjoyed them both. The Hiding Place is no different. Like her previous two, it is a 'slow burn' mystery that has the reader easily turning the pages to find out what really happened. Marina has known all her life that she is the baby that made headlines when she was found abandoned in a block of units in 1964, and while she has had a great life with her loving adoptive parents, she has spent her life wanting to know why her mother left her. So in 1992 she goes back to her town and rents a room in the same building she had been found in. The story is told in alternating chapters from the perspective of Connie a pregnant teenager in 1964 and Marina in 1992. I really enjoyed watching the mystery unfold from the two different perspectives and all the different characters that inhabited the block of units in the different eras. I look forward to her next book!
