Hiding Places
Autor Erin Healyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 sep 2015
Eleven-year-old Kate keeps her knowledge to herself—one sister’s stash of marijuana, the other’s petty cash pilfering, her grandfather’s contraband candy bars. She protects her mother and Gran, too, screening out critical comments from the hotel suggestions box. But suddenly the stakes are raised; her grandfather’s best friend is murdered the day after Kate heard the two men arguing.
At the same time, far from the quiet mountain resort, a homeless man sees a robbery gone wrong . . . a gang member seeks revenge for the death of his son . . . and a boy chooses the worst time to wield spray paint on a store window. In a strange and spiraling sequence of events, their disparate worlds collide at Harrison Lodge.
Kate offers shelter to one of them, unaware of the terrible consequences to the family she loves. But people can hide in all kinds of ways, sometimes even in plain sight . . . and some secrets are just waiting to be exposed.

Recenzii
3 stars. 'Healy’s latest has some intriguing moments, but overall there is nothing very memorable about the plot. The quirky cast of characters elevates the story and gives some variety, yet the significance of the hiding places (both figuratively and literally) is not really communicated well enough to make a lasting impact.'
