"Grief drove them away. But starting again comes at a price.
When Melanie and Gareth Sayer move with their daughter to a Welsh coastal village, it looks like the perfect place to heal old wounds. The sea air, the new business, the promise of a quieter life . . . but will the past let go?
Their new beginning is soon poisoned by the return of an old school friend. Gareth is unsettled by the reappearance of Delyth Powell, while Melanie finds her kind and welcoming. Then a message arrives, one that only Gareth understands, and it’s clear Delyth knows a secret from his past. Something he has kept hidden for years.
As tensions rise and loyalties fracture, Melanie no longer knows who to trust: her husband, whose temper is flaring under the pressure, or the woman who claims to be her confidant. And when the truth finally comes out, it will shatter everything.
Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Adele Parks, No Place to Hide is a gripping psychological thriller about buried secrets, dangerous friendships, and how well we really know the people we love."
