Her Quiet Place by Robert W Kirby
English | 2025 | Mystery & Thriller
‘It was her favourite place in the world… until they ruined it.’
Hannah is a shadow of her former self. Since her husband’s suicide two years ago, she has been stuck in a dark place. She is an alcoholic and a drug abuser, consumed by despair and spiralling towards self-destruction. That is until he enters her life and changes everything.
Her new man, a charming police detective called Max Hudson, might just give Hannah a reason to get up in the morning. He gives her hope, and now she thinks she might be falling for him.
Louisa should be concentrating on her final year at school, but instead, she’s started getting involved in her parents’ personal affairs. She’s certain her dad is seeing another woman, and her mum seems content to be treated like a complete doormat.
Hannah begins to see a different side to Max, one she doesn’t much like. At times, it’s almost as if he has a split personality. He’s not the person she thought he was.
Louisa is determined to uncover what her dad is up to, but she knows she has to tread carefully. He might be a top police detective, but there’s something about him that unnerves her. Deep down, she senses a troubling darkness in him, and her mum is acting stranger than ever.
As Max’s behaviour grows increasingly disturbing, Hannah realises she needs to cut the volatile man out of her life for good. She starts digging into his past, hoping to uncover some dirt on him. But, like Louisa, she’s venturing down a dangerous path.
A terrible secret from the early ’90s holds the key to uncovering the twisted truths of today. A love triangle between three messed-up teenagers led to betrayal and deadly consequences, with repercussions that still echo in the present.
But how far will Max go to keep his past buried, and how much will Hannah risk to uncover the truth?
