About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A novel from Eve Chase, author of The Glass House and The Birdcage.

A glittering family. A Notting Hill house. Step into their secrets...

Notting Hill, London. Lou Parker's famous mother walks out of their pink front door and doesn't return home by midnight, or the midnight after... Looking after her little brother, trying to piece together where their mother might be, Lou ventures into a different world - far from the fancy terraces - filled with ramshackle antique shops, shadowy figures. A place where time seems to have stopped. And Lou must protect her brother. At all costs.
Twenty-one years - 7665 midnights - later. The new owner of a Notting Hill house starts excavating a basement, oblivious to what might lie beneath. While in a writer's Saint-Germain apartment, a mobile phone rings...and the clock starts ticking again.

Sweeping from vibrant London streets to the boulevards of Paris to an old English country house, The Midnight Hour is a story about the dark secrets hidden within a golden family - and a woman desperately trying to turn back the hands of time before it's too late.

Critic Reviews

Mesmerising - a book you want to race back to (Lisa Jewell)
Moody, evocative, with a dream-like quality no other author can master (Gillian McAllister, bestselling author of Just Another Missing Person)
A wonderful twisty novel of family and secrets — the perfect summer read (Kate Morton)
Evocative, beautifully written and absolutely gripping, The Midnight Hour is sensational - her best yet (Rosie Walsh, bestselling author of The Man Who Didn’t Call)
An engrossing, atmospheric and beautifully written story of a woman trying to turn back the hands of time. I always love an Eve Chase, but this is my favourite so far (Anna Mazzola, author of The Clockwork Girl)
An exquisitely-written, immersive mystery full of loss and longing and boho glamour with a sharp undercurrent of darkness. Brings back to life a Notting Hill that has long since disappeared (Tammy Cohen)
I adored every word of this beautifully written, immersive family mystery (Gill Paul)
So vivid, it's like a time machine (Tasmina Perry)

Fabulous, I loved this

This was the best book I’ve listened to in a long time. The way the story revealed itself was masterful, and the characters and emotions so believable and relatable. Loved it, highly recommend
