Hidden

I enjoyed this book very much, I have only read 2 of her books and I am looking forward to reading more.

electrifying clever morality drama

Two years ago Kate Whitehead accompanied by her infant son, fled from her abusive husband powerful Senator Thomas Whitehead. Now in San Diego using the identity of Tricia Campbell she is happy with her life and loves her significant other fireman captain Scott McCall. Kate reads in the paper that her best friend Leah Montgomery has vanished. Because Thomas knew both vanished females intimately, San Francisco Police Detectives Gregory and Stanton obtain a search warrant to look into the house, office, and cars. In a vehicle he owns they find blood. They soon arrest Thomas for the murder of his spouse. Kate ponders whether she should resurface to get her nasty husband off the hook or let him fry as he deserves. Either way she must reveal the truth about herself that she hid for two years from the man she loves. Tara Taylor Quinn provides an electrifying clever morality drama in which the heroine must decide whether to re-emerge in order to save the life of an abusive person she believes deserves death yet is innocent when it comes to killing her. The story line switches perspective mostly between Thomas and Leah with the former plotting how to deal with intrusive cops and the latter wrestling with ethics. Fans will be pleased with HIDDEN, a character driven thriller. Harriet Klausner

Great beginning, excellent middle, ooops for ending

Tricia Campbell aka Kate Whitehead sews for a living but was born to money and married money. Which came with abuse. Six months pregnant she fled for her life and her child's life and for 2 years has been living with a firefighter in another town. It's a day-at-a-time mutually agreeable situation since niether wants ties. But when Kate/Tricia's best friend disappears and her estranged husband is charged with murder, she knows she has to return to save him, not that she loves him any more - her heart is with the firefighter - but she cannot let a man go to prison for killing her when she is alive. I like this author and I liked this story until the very end when Kate/Tricia suddenly sends her brain out to lunch and behaves with incredible stupidity, when she seems to become a victim once again. It sort of ruined the story for me at that point. Sometimes people have to return to abusive situations for good and sufficient reasons but usually they take steps to protect themselves as much as possible and she doesn't. But I carp. Read the book and decide for yourself. Love with the firefighter does triumph in the end.
