Hide

By: S J Morgan

Narrated by: Matt Addis

Like a dark unsettling road movie, Hide takes us on a chilling ride from '80s urban Britain to the menace of the Australian outback.

It's 1983 in Thatcher's Britain. Alec Johnston has left his comfortable family home in Cardiff and taken a flat with bikers Minto, Stobes and Black. There he meets Sindy, Minto’s strange and vulnerable young girlfriend. When she starts to view Alec as a possible saviour from her abusive relationship, it earns Alec a big target on his back.

Hide takes us on a dark, unsettling journey: one that begins in a small town in Wales and continues through the vast Australian outback. As the threats get closer, Alec fears this is one journey from which he may never return.

Critic reviews

“Crime fans with a hankering for a gripping, edge-of-your seat read will love Hide.” (Books+Publishing)

Couldn't finish it

There were no reviews available, so I took a chance. Very dumb protagonist who lies and can't see what is in front of his face. The narrator's accent was difficult to understand, also. Sorry I wasted a credit.

A Good Suspense Novel

Seeing that there was only one rather unfavourable comment about this book, and having thoroughly enjoyed it, I thought I'd counter-balance with a much more positive review, as this book definitely deserves more love!
A great listen (took me two days) and the narrator is excellent. The large part of the book is set in South Wales, and the accents may therefore sound a little strange to folk listening outside of the UK. However although I'm not Welsh, I believe the narrator (assuming he's not actually Welsh!) pulled off the accents very well.
The Australian part doesn't feature in quite as big a way as the preview might suggest. I'd say about three-quarters of the novel is set in South Wales, so if you're looking for "outback adventures" then don't expect too much of it in this novel. However, if you're seeking an easy suspenseful listen, not involving too many characters, then I would definitely give this book your consideration.
