Her Hiding Place An Utterly Compelling and Jaw-Dropping Locked-room Psychological Thriller

By Shannon Hollinger

First published 2025

"Okay sweetheart," I whisper, giving my little girl Alice a final kiss. "Now remember, after I've locked the door, be quiet like a mouse. I'll come back later, I promise." Her little face crumples as I turn to leave and my heart breaks. But I have no choice. I have to work, and I have to keep her hidden. It's just ten days until the new hotel opens. As I push my cleaning cart into the chandeliered honeymoon suite, I wonder how it would feel to stay here as a guest. To watch the sun rise over the ocean, to fall asleep with no fear. I'll never know, of course. Instead, I work twelve-hour days as a maid, constantly frightened of discovery. Alice is just three, and she's already seen more than any child should. Hiding on this isolated island resort, where she can only come out at night, is so hard for her. But the other staff can't know she's here, let alone the guests when they arrive. And no one can know my secret-or what we're really running from. But when a massive storm cuts the island off from the mainland, my darkest fears become real. A body is found and in the shocking aftermath, someone finds out about Alice...
