Hide: The book you need after Squid Game

Product Information

Hide is the first book of a new Detective Harriet Foster series from author Tracy Clark. The second book in the series, titled Fall, is already planned for publication December 5, 2023. It was an abandoned Amusement Park, closed after a five year old girl vanished within, her patent leather shoe caught on the branches of a topiary. "Slowly what didn't crumble rusted and what didn't rust leaned. All the walkways were lined with impassable shrubbery, undergrowth turned into overgrowth, wild plant life was riddled with thorns." This book will live in your head rent-free. When I wasn’t reading Hide, I was thinking about it—it’s one of those rare books that twists itself into your consciousness. Kiersten White has outdone herself.” —Victoria Lee, author of A Lesson in Vengeance There were many sweet moments to compensate for the terrifying ones and it showed how closely I had bonded with the varied central characters with just how much I rooted for them all in equal measure. A happy ending could never be guaranteed for all and bittersweet and mixed emotions dogged me for much of this. The ending had me hoping for a little more but was still a satisfactory conclusion to a stellar story. Overall, this was a pretty good story - The characters could have been less flat and the book could have been edited to reflect more current technology

Homo homini lupus [Man is a wolf to man] The existence of this inclination to aggression, which we can detect in ourselves and justly assume to be present in others, is the factor which disturbs our relations with our neighbour… So – how do I conclude this? I could go on and on, but I don’t want to give away any more of the plot. Parts of it are a little bit over the top, but I guess that’s why it’s called fiction. I could rave for days about this book, but your time would be better spent reading the book! Seek out Hide. You won’t be sorry! I love a good horror book. I love being scared by them. This book has an underlying dread which really helped amp up the anxiety and tension for me.

The not knowing was sort of like when you first started watching Lost and you knew something was in the jungle, but you could never tell what it is. I liked that, but eventually as you discover the truth behind the park, it could have gone deeper into those elements. It’s a murder mystery filled with suspects as well as many of the topical issues of today: racism, sexism, police power, women as police, stalking, and the psychology of alienated “outsiders,” to name just a few. The prose and dialogue are first-rate. Ms. Clark writes about police procedure and culture as surefootedly as if she had been a Chicago detective.

Hide-a-Saurus: Dinosaurs Word Mat - Do you have a dinosaur fan on your hands? This brilliant word mat shows the names of various dinosaurs that feature in the story. Learn the names of the velociraptor, spinosaurus, pterodactyl and more. Further, I promise this is it for complaints, the horror aspects were kept too obscure. I wanted more. I liked the build and tension initially. This one was full of tension, without making me terrified. You know things are going to go wrong and the author keeps you in the dark until the end when the motivations are revealed. There are quite a few characters to keep up with and two characters named Ava! Why?!I do definitely think the graphic novel version is the best way to read this book. The illustrations add so much more meaning to the story. A teacher and a novelist, Unsworth worked as a lecturer in English at Norwood Technical College, London, at University of Athens for the British Council, at University of Istanbul,Turkey for British Council, lived as a Writer in residence, Liverpool University, England, and also at Lund University, Sweden. He was a teacher at the University of Iowa's Writers' Workshop, 1999. This was once again an amazing story! I felt like it followed the novel fairly well. Having read it last year I can’t recall all the finer details but the story at large stays the same and even knowing what happens I still found myself taken by surprise on occasion. Overall, many people may enjoy this book, it just was not for me due to subject matter that I don't care to read. Thank you to NetGalley, Clarkson Potter, Ten Speed Press, Kiersten White, Scott Peterson (adaptation writer), and Veronica and Andy Fish (illistrators) for the opportunity to read Hide: The Graphic Novel in exchange for an honest review.

With two contestants getting caught and out of the game each day, the tension increasingly mounts. Additionally, it's not clear at all who, or what, the Seekers are. Gardner threw in lots of twists and red herrings that kept me guessing right up until the end. Just when I thought that I had everything figured out, there was another twist! I love it when authors do that - keeps me on my toes! let us leave unexamined what it says about me that i use competitive murder books as escapist entertainment. suffice it to say, i ride the subway into the city every day, which gives me a front-row seat to the decline of civilization along with some simmering fantasies about thinning out the human herd. I really liked Detective Foster and her partner, Detective Li, but there was opportunity to build their characters out more. In fact, all of the characters fell a little flat. My apologies if I sound unduly severe, but actual 'reading' is still difficult for me due to my eyesight problems, and I rely heavily on an audiobook narrator to provide a fair interpretation of the author's intentions when reading me her or his story. Unnecessary dramatics and inconsistent vocal characterisations do nothing for an author's artistic objectives and even less for an attentive listener.

I actually was expecting something different to this when I went into it, some more horror and less adventure. Not that there isn't horror and gore of course, and the monster too, but it wasn't what I expected.

Unsworth was twice married, to Valerie Moor, 1959 with whom he had three daughters (marriage dissolved, 1991), and to Aira Pohjanvaara-Buffa, 1992. In later years made his home in Umbria, Italy. He died in Perugia, at age 81, of lung cancer. In Russia, female cops dressed like this are being disciplined, though, to be fair, it was the short skirts, not the high heels, that were the cause of the Interior Ministry's ire. Bobby Dodge, still reeling from his last case as a Boston police sniper, is now a detective with the Massachusetts State Police. He receives a call from his old pal and ex-girlfriend, Sergeant D.D. Warren of Boston P.D. requesting his assistance on a case. Don’t ask questions or listen to the police scanner. Just get here. STAT. What he sees in that chamber calls to mind another case and another victim. Has his worst nightmare returned? Is it a perfect book? No. But it's an easy read with a unique concept, interesting characters, a creepy atmosphere, and social commentary sprinkled on top. I kept pausing my work to read a few more chapters because I needed to know how it ended!Her butt has barely settled in at her new precinct when the call comes in signalling her first case. It’s a heavy one, a stabbing murder of a young woman, virtually disembowelled and partially hidden beneath a pile of leaves on Chicago’s Riverwalk. This is book number two in a Lisa Gardner series called Detective D.D. Warren. This is the first book that Detective Warren is really front and center. In the first book, Alone, she was introduced, but almost as a side line character. Now she is taking the reigns. I read the original version of Hide last year when it released, and while I enjoyed it, I remember thinking it had a lot of facets that didn't translate well to a written novel and would have worked better in a visual medium, like a film or mini-series—or, lo and behold, a graphic novel!
