Beth thought she'd escaped her past. But all this time, it's been waiting for her...
Beth and Ian are desperate to have a child. So much so that they decide to sell his family cabin in upstate New York to pay for IVF.
When they arrive at the cabin, they meet Ryan, the caretaker. But Ryan is not who he says he is... He's here because he knows Beth has a dark secret. And now he intends to use it against her.
He threatens to tell Ian everything about Beth's past unless she does exactly what he says.
Beth finds herself caught in a nightmarish trap. If Ian discovers what she's been hiding from him, she's sure he'll leave her. She'll lose everything she cares about, including the chance to have a child of her own.
On the other hand, what Ryan wants her to do is so dark and twisted it's beyond horrifying.
Either way, Beth is sure her life is over, she can see no way out. Unless... Unless she digs deep and finds a part of herself that is willing to do something so awful it doesn't even bear thinking about...
You Can't Hide - the stunning psychological thriller perfect for fans of Teresa Driscoll, Freida McFadden, Daniel Hurst.

"You can't hide" is a psychological thriller in which we learn the tragic fate of two women. Lizzy and Beth are women who are victims of domestic violence. Each of them have done something wrong in their past. Unfortunately, this has consequences in the future. One of them has a husband who shows her who's boss at every step. I was shocked to find out how this wedding happened. Zachary's behaviour made me sick to my stomach. I literally wanted to lock him in the basement and wait for him to die. A seemingly perfect doctor, but in fact an abusive psychopath. I felt sorry for Lizzy for such a husband. Beth is in a different situation. She has a loving husband, Ian. Together they drove to his house to sell it. There they will meet a certain evil man. Will they make it out completely? Do the two ladies have anything in common? Do their husbands know each other? You will learn the answers to these questions by reading the book "You can't hide". Let me just add that I was in shock when I got to know the ending. I didn't expect this turn of events. A plus for the author. It was my first reading encounter with Emily Shiner's work. After reading this book, I already know that I want to read her other novels. I read this book as an e-book. It has only 187 pages. Every page is a real gem. Good action, an original plot, interesting characters and an exciting ending, that's what you can say about this book in a nutshell. I wasn't bored while reading. I love psychological thrillers.
