Hidden Pictures

Über das Buch

'I loved it. The surprises really surprise and it has that hard-to-achieve propulsiveness that won't let you put it down. And the pictures are terrific!' Stephen King 'Must be the boldest double twist of the year. Truly fantastic' The Times AN AMAZON.COM BEST MYSTERY/THRILLER OF THE YEAR Mallory is delighted to have a new job looking after gorgeous four-year-old, Teddy. She's been sober for a year and a half and she's sure her new nannying role in the affluent suburbs will help keep her on the straight and narrow. That is until Teddy starts to draw disturbing pictures of his imaginary friend, Anya. It is quite clear to Mallory and to Teddy's parents, even in his crude childlike style, that the woman Teddy is drawing in his pictures is dead. Teddy's crayons are confiscated, and his paper locked away. But the drawings somehow keep coming, telling a frightening story of a woman murdered... and they're getting more sophisticated. But if Teddy isn't drawing the pictures anymore, who is? And what are they trying to tell Mallory about her new home?

  “The first quarter of this book was good, which always seems to be a red flag for me in a book. Promises like these seem to never pan out. Eventually you start to see the author's political and religious views start to bleed into the book. I very rarely rate books one star, but when an author shows racist and anti-atheist characters prevailing it's not even about the book anymore. This book and author pissed me off. The only thing worth redeeming is the narrator for the audiobook, who is kickass and a favorite of mine. Audio read by : Suzy Jackson”

  “Wow, okay. Trying to wrap my head around the fact this won best horror when the writing wasn't particularly strong and the characters were frustratingly one dimensional and very cliché, and that twist..... don't get me started on that twist and ending. Whatever.”

  “I've never seen a clearer agenda in a book than this. Of course the atheist, pro science, pro consent parents transed the kid after killing her mom I'm so shocked. But also of course the liberal, no red meat eating parents were going to teach their kid about “anal, cunnilingus, and gender theory” be so fucking for real. This was a Fox News level millennial couple and the message only would've been clearer if they made it a same sex couple. ”I knew deep down that she always knew she was a girl” bffr”
