What We Hide by Lesley Sanderson is another dark and twisty domestic thriller from one of my must read authors. When I pick up a book by Ms Sanderson, I know that I will not be able to put it down, so compulsively readable is her writing.

Nell is shocked to receive the news that her mother has recently died. Her initial reaction is that this must be a cruel hoax. After all, her mother has been dead for thirty years. But Nell soon realizes that she has been lied to by the grandmother who stepped in to raise her. She realizes that she must confront Lilian with this unconscionable deceit, not knowing what possible motivation the older woman could possibly have for perpetuating such an horrific untruth for so many years. Decades of long hidden secrets are about to be exposed, and the truth is even more sinister than Nell could have ever imagined.

This is another gripping read by an author who has certainly established herself as one to watch within the domestic drama genre, and I will continue to devour everything she puts forth. 4.5 stars
