Hidden- Lisa Sell -psycholigical thriller
Jen works in a counselling office and is training to be a counsellor. She has had a rough
ride and all credit to her has pulled herself back in line and on the up. However Jen
has a secret- when she was a child she killed another girl and no one found out, her
death was put down to either suicide or misadventure. When she meets with the
girls mother she explains that she now only has a few months to live and believes
that Kelly was murdered and would Jen help with some of her old friends to try
and find out what went on. Jen understandably is quaking in her shoes. Did she
really kill her or was there more to that day? We are taken back in alternate chapters
to the 1980’s when the story began and I loved some of the references to that era
(being of a certain age!) There are quite a few characters to discover and who fits
where but this is well done without overdoing the detail. A clever plot, an
interesting read and a touch of nostalgia.

Beta Readers’ Reviews • “Hidden is an intense ride that kept me guessing until the last!” • “A gripping read with spot-on ‘80s references. It took me back to my teenage years.” • “A chilling blend of eighties childhood nostalgia and suburban violence. Unputdownable!” • “A nostalgic journey back to the eighties, interwoven with suspense and mystery.”
A Note From the Author I grew up on a 1980s Oxfordshire council estate, so I couldn’t resist setting Hidden in a similar environment. Although I now live in beautiful Dorset, a part of my heart still belongs to Oxfordshire. Key Features • The first in a series for the duo, Jen Taylor and Claire Dalton. • Full of 1980s nostalgia and retro references. • A working class story with thriller elements.
