Product Description
From the bestselling author of Along Came a Spider, Kiss the Girls and Cat and Mouse, a breathtaking novel of terror and suspense. Already a bestseller around the world – now reissued in striking new cover style.
Maggie Bradford is on trial for murder – in the celebrity trial of the decade. As one of the world’s best-loved singer-songwriters, she seems to have it all. So how could she have murdered not just one, but two of her husbands?
Will Shepherd was Maggie’s second husband. A magnificent athlete and film star, he was just as famous. But Will had dark, dangerous secrets that none of his fans could have imagined… that his own wife could never have dreamed of.

Format:Paperback
This novel has definite good points, but also some bad and slightly predictable ones that made me skim read parts.
The lead character Maggie is quite a typical 'naïve' woman who stumbles from one unsuitable relationship to the next, seemingly blinded by what is going on under her nose. Her supposed talent for singing and playing the piano is tiresome - she apparently reaches so many people that the whole population suck up to her every time they see her because her lyrics are so 'deep'. Mmmn.
The redeeming feature is the baddy of the book - Will - who is a great character, glib, smart, and utterly evil, he is a time bomb waiting to go off. As for the ending - it was good and quite thought provoking - however it did seem quite unlikely and wasn't explained too well.
I'd definitely suggest you read this for entertainment value, it's a good book by normal standards but not up to Pattersons other works.

I thought that this book was fantastic. It's escapr from realism into the perfect world that is so common in books and films (and yes, far fetched from reality).
This book helped to show that even what appears to be perfect on the surface is not so deep down.
A top sports person, good looking and rich the type so many women dream about turns out to be the devil incarnate. In my view it is well worth a read.

hide and seek was a thriller from the start! I couldnt put it down i received my copy on monday and had it read by wednesday evening. the lead chracter maggie keeps you hooked she has had a rough ride to start of her life but makes herself into a multimillion pound singer.
she feels she has recovered from the murder of her first husband by her own hands! Then she falls in love again only for that to end in tradgedy We her about Will through and story and learn to both love and hate him intensley he is truly crazy,scary and evil. But Maggie falls for him and marries her true love. But Maybe now this is the worst part of her life. As she fights for her freedom after being charged with wills murder but did she do it? The main thing maggie has in her life through all this is her two children and best friend Barry. Its a must read!!!

First and last
This is the first book of James Paterson I have read and I did not think much of it at all. I think he should have done some research before putting into his book. Read more
