About this listen

AN AMAZON.COM BEST MYSTERY/THRILLER OF THE YEAR

Mallory is delighted to have a new job looking after gorgeous four-year-old Teddy. She's been sober for a year and a half, and she's sure her new nannying role in the affluent suburbs will help keep her on the straight and narrow.

That is until Teddy starts to draw disturbing pictures of his imaginary friend, Anya. It is quite clear to Mallory and to Teddy's parents, even in his crude childlike style, that the woman Teddy is drawing in his pictures is dead.

Teddy's crayons are confiscated and his paper locked away. But the drawings somehow keep coming, telling a frightening story of a woman murdered...and they're getting more sophisticated. But if Teddy isn't drawing the pictures anymore, who is? And what are they trying to tell Mallory about her new home?

Critic Reviews

"Whip-smart, creepy as hell and masterfully plotted, Hidden Pictures is the best new thriller I've read in years. Destined to be a classic of the genre." (Ransom Riggs, best-selling author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children)

"I read Hidden Pictures and loved it. The surprises really surprise and it has that hard-to-achieve propulsiveness that won't let you put it down. And the pictures are terrific!" (Stephen King)

I really wanted this book to have twists and turns that could be explained and not supernatural. I love psychological thrillers but don’t love when there is the supernatural aspect so this book (while loved by many!) is just not for me

Was disappointed with the supernatural

Narration a bit over - wrought . Good story, well written, but no characterisation, insight or originality.

Cheap thrills

At times this horror story left me feeling uncomfortable and disconcerted as the main character struggles with the truth whilst battling her past, I loved this story and I'm glad I didn't know how it was going to end and I can't wait to read the authors next book 👍

My kind of horror

Not bad, not overly "spooky" or a horror as I was more hoping for. But a bit of supernatural, thriller and mystery. I really liked Suzy's voice ( I don't know why but it was very nice to listen to) Maybe I'll check another from Jason

3.5/5 pretty good
