About this listen
When Lou sees an ad for a long-abandoned mining town up for sale, it doesn’t take her long to convince her sister and their oldest friends to go in on the idyllic property buried in the bush – a place where the four families can hide away on weekends, get back to nature and unstick the kids from their screens.
But things start to go wrong before they even arrive for their first camping trip – a rogue deer sends a trailer off the road, a neighbour complains about the fence line and squatters have set up camp down by the river. Soon none of that will matter, though, because by the end of the first night someone will be dead.
At first it seems that hiding a body is easier than keeping other sorts of secrets: a lost job, an illegal crop, an outrageous affair, a little embezzlement. But what’s buried has a way of coming to the surface, and even in the bush, it’s hard to remain unseen.
White Lotus meets The Slap in a razor-sharp literary thriller about deception and self-deception, and how far people will go to protect what they feel they ought to have.
‘Absolutely brilliant. I wish I had written this book.’ Hayley Scrivenor, author of Dirt Town
Critic Reviews
‘Grabs you with both fists and doesn’t let go. Eerie, tense, fabulous. I could not put it down.’ (Jane Harper)
‘Absolutely brilliant ... going to take the world BY STORM. I wish I had written this book!’ (Hayley Scrivenor )
‘An absolutely scorching book. At once an evisceration of those who hide duplicity under a mask of good intention, and a propulsive nail-biter of a thriller, The Hiding Place had me turning pages at the rate of knots.’ (Hannah Kent, author of Burial Rites and Devotion)
‘A glorious clusterf*ck of a book – a modern-day Don’s Party. Except with kids. And bodies ... Kate Mildenhall artfully skewers the hypocrisies and self-delusions of middle Australia.’ (Chris Hammer, author of Scrublands and The Valley )
‘Intense. Incredible. What a banger!!’ (Sarah Bailey, author of The Housemate )
‘An utterly gripping page-turner.’ (Mark Brandi, author of Wimmera )
‘Smart, profound and wildly addictive, The Hiding Place is the perfect page-turner for your next weekend away with friends, the literary mirror in which you’ll see yourself – and others – all too clearly ... Think The Slap meets Birnham Wood by way of Liane Moriarty.’ (Anna Downes, author of The Safe Place )
