The Hiding Place by Jenny Quintana
4.0
I found this an enjoyable, intriguing mystery.
The story is dual time frame, set in South London and moves between Connie's story in 1965 and Marina's story set in 1991. Marina is trying to discover how she came to be left as a tiny baby in a doorway? In a quest to find the truth Marina rents an apartment in the building where she was found. Who still lives in the building and what do they remember?
Meanwhile in 1965 Connie is coming to terms with the recent loss of her mum and helping her dad run the family bookshop. She's eagerly waiting for a letter from Johnny, her boyfriend who went to Paris to make his fortune as an artist.
How will these two stories merge? What secrets will the two women uncover as they try to seek the truth?
This is an engaging story with two great main characters which were very well written. I felt very invested in both stories and enjoyed slowly uncovering the truth alongside Marina through the secrets of the house and its residents. The stories interweave as the mystery develops and they both come together perfectly at the end. I read this very quickly and will definitely look out for the other books by this author.
