Product Description

Product Description

From the author of #1 bestseller TAUNTING THE DEAD.

What if you had no one to turn to and nowhere to run?


Following the tragic death of her husband, Cathy Mason opens her home to young women who need a roof over their head and a sympathetic ear. From victims of domestic violence to drug addicts, no woman is beyond Cathy’s helping hand. The only problem? She lives on the notorious Mitchell Estate, where temptation and trouble lurk on every corner.

When malicious notes are posted through her door, her belongings trashed and a homeless teenager is found murdered, Cathy reckons it’s just part of daily life on the estate. But when those she cares about most fall prey to violence, she begins to suspect a past mistake is catching up with her. Can Cathy finally confront her own troubled history before it engulfs not only her, but also the women struggling to rebuild their lives?

SOMEWHERE TO HIDE is psychological suspense that will test your every emotion. Feel the fear of the characters as they flea their backgrounds and share their hope as they try to overcome all manner of obstacles to start again.

What the readers are saying:


'After reading Mel Sherratt's first book Taunting the Dead I could not wait to read Somewhere to Hide. I have to say this book had me gripped from the first page. The characters almost became real, I'm not sure how else to describe it but I felt so involved in the story and really cared about how they felt and what happened, without giving any of the story away I laughed one min and felt like crying the next!'

'You get stuck into the plot very quickly and totally immersed with the goings-on in this gritty tale of life on a tough estate. The characters are hard and you really wouldn't mess with them. There were plenty of twists weaved into the plot, and the finale was quite spectacular and would certainly have made a great ending for a TV program.'

'This is my first Mel Sherratt book, but it won't be my last. I was hooked straight away, there should be more Cathy Mason's in this world! 5 star +.'

About the Author

Ever since she can remember, Mel Sherratt has been a meddler of words. Right from those early childhood scribbles when she won her first and only writing competition at the age of 11, she was rarely without a pen in her hand or, indeed, her nose in a book. Born and raised in Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, Mel used her beloved city as a backdrop for her first novel, TAUNTING THE DEAD, and it went on to be a #1 best seller. SOMEWHERE TO HIDE is the first book in a new series, THE ESTATE. You can find out more at www.melsherratt.co.uk or on twitter at @writermels and on Facebook

5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping and entertaining thriller! 27 July 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Another cracker from the wonderful author that is Mel Sherratt!

Cathy is widowed, not yet 40, and takes in people who need somewhere to live in her "safe" house. Liz is married to Kevin who constantly uses and abuses her even thought they have a child together called Chloe. When Liz realises that enough really is enough, her and Chloe are moved to Cathy's safe house which she is currently sharing with troublesome Jess.

On the same day that Liz turns up, so does Becky, a young girl with a secret and although they know she has run away from somewhere and someone, she won't tell anyone. Cathy's house is on the Mitchell estate, one side of the estate is where people who like to look after themselves live, with their good jobs, nice gardens and well tended to houses. The other half is full of trouble, unemployed, burnt out cars, run down houses and people who really don't care about themselves or anyone else for that matter.

Austinis a young man who is planning a big surprise for someone on his 21st birthday. But who is that surprise for and why?

I was first introduced to Mel's writing last year when I read Taunting the Dead. Once again in this book, her writing is exciting, gripping and mesmerising and I was quickly lost to the real world, deeply engrossed in the story. I could definitely see her books being portrayed in a TV series but I haven't chosen the characters yet!

You get stuck into the plot very quickly and totally immersed with the goings-on in this gritty tale of life on a tough estate. The characters are hard and you really wouldn't mess with them. Cathy was a really strong main character, likeable, gutsy and brave sticking up for the girls in her care, helping them to achieve something in their lives and not take any crap from anyone. She taught them to have faith in themselves and to believe that they deserved better and could achieve more.

There were plenty of twists weaved into the plot, and the finale was quite spectacular and would certainly have made a great ending for a TV programme. I'm delighted that this was the first of a series of books about The Estate and can't wait till the next one is due in October with a third due in February.

Really enjoyed reading this gritty, fantastically written thriller by this great author who really could compete against some of the world's top thriller and crime writers.
