Description
While walking home from work one evening, Jeff Manning is struck by a car and killed. Two women fall to pieces at the news: his wife, Claire, and his co-worker Tish. Reeling from her loss, Claire must comfort her grieving son as well as contend with funeral arrangements, well-meaning family members, and the arrival of Jeff’s estranged brother, who was her ex-boyfriend. Tish volunteers to attend the funeral on her company’s behalf, but only she knows the true risk of inserting herself into the wreckage of Jeff’s life.
Told through the three voices of Jeff, Tish, and Claire, Hidden explores the complexity of relationships, the repercussions of our personal choices, and the responsibilities we have to the ones we love.

Advance Praise
“[A] delicate, honest exploration of secrets, family, and the varied meanings of true love...” —Booklist
“By
giving the perspective, in alternating chapters, of each of the three
main characters… this novel builds suspense as the reader wonders what
really happened. McKenzie's fourth novel is sure to please her many fans
and appeal to readers who enjoy women's fiction with an element of
suspense.” —Library Journal
“A good
pace, simple plotting and likable characters… Hidden is going to be,
like Spin, Forgotten and Arranged before it, an international
bestseller.” —Montreal Gazette
Marketing Plan
“McKenzie has written a compulsively readable novel about grief and
infidelity with great insight and great heart. A truly engaging read.” —Heidi Durrow, author of The Girl Who Fell From the Sky
“Catherine
McKenzie’s latest book may be her finest. Hidden explores the
intersecting lives of a man, his wife, and a woman who may or may not be
his mistress. Imaginatively constructed, filled with nail-biting
tension and gracefully written, Hidden is a winner.” —Sarah Pekkanen, author of These Girls and Skipping a Beat
“What
I love about this deft, intimate novel is that here are no angels or
demons here, just adults—husbands, wives, mothers, fathers—leading
complex, messy, very human lives. They all struggle to weigh desire
against obligation, what they want against what is right. I found myself
in the impossible, wonderful position of rooting for all of them—and of
missing them when the book was over.” —Marisa de los Santos, author of Belong to Me and Love Walked In
“Using
distinct narrative voices, Catherine McKenzie has crafted a compelling
novel that kept me turning pages at a breakneck speed. Heartbreakingly
honest and real, Hidden is a wonderfully relatable tale.” —Tracey Garvis Graves, author of On the Island
“Gripping,
smart, beautifully written, Catherine McKenzie's books are always a
must read. Hidden should be at the top of your list.” —Allie Larkin, author of Stay and Why Can’t I Be You
“Catherine
McKenzie breaks your heart in this story of two grief-stricken women
mourning the same man. Hidden’s complex grace and page-turning sympathy
left me satisfied through very the last page.” —Randy Susan Meyers, author of The Murderer's Daughters and The Comfort of Lies
