A review by sporadicallybookish
Hide and Seek by Andrea Mara

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

5.0

Andrea Mara is the queen of missing children story lines, I’m sure. This hooked me from the first page and got me out of a reading slump so fast! This book was full of neighbourhood drama, deception, twists and turns. It gave me desperate housewives vibes, but with a Dublin twist! It’s told in dual timelines which is an instant win for me, and although there is a whole cast to get to grips with I found it settled into my head about 1/3 in (before that I would have to skip back to check who’s who 🫢). Also, I found the pacing was just to my liking and there was not a moment where I was bored or reaching for my phone! 

Mara has become an auto-buy author for me (let’s be honest she was once I read NOSAT) and I’ve just preordered her latest novel! All Her Fault is eyeing me up from the shelf as we speak, so look out for a review soon 🤍
