About this ebook

The gripping sequel to bestselling THE FOUR STREETS. Shot through with darkness, but also humour, warmth and charm.

In the Four Streets in Liverpool, a dreadful murder has been committed, and 14-year-old Kitty Doherty is pregnant with the dead man's child.

This secret is so dangerous that her mother, Maura, and the redoubtable Kathleen, her best friend Nellie's grandmother, decide the girls must be spirited away quietly to Ireland to await the birth of the baby.

But back in Liverpool, the police are not giving up their search for the truth. Somewhere, in this tight-knit Irish Catholic community, someone must know something. Someone surely will talk one day. The streets are alive with gossip and rumour and it isn't easy to keep a secret that big.

Can't wait for the next one? THE BALLYMARA ROAD is out now!

What people are saying about HIDE HER NAME:

'The events of the book are still with me days after finishing it, such a compelling read I cannot recommend it enough'

'This book is just as strong as Four Streets and had me hooked straight away'

'I also liked the gentle humour that emerged - very much a feature of the gallows humour of that time'

Ratings and reviews

Good story but one of those when author runs out of script therefore ending poor. Fault on this book as some pages missing which was very frustrating.

Slow start felt repetitive of The four streets however after the priests death this story took on a life of its own. Another compelling read

Good book, A bit slow in parts and I wanted a bit more I dunno happiness I suppose, but I liked it none the less.
