HIDING by Jenny Morton Potts
First off, congratulations to the artist who created the cover for Hiding. It is a powerful and evocative story depiction that is impossible to ignore or, in my case, “say no to” in ebook format. Second, the synopsis was thankfully brief, going against the tide just enough to catch this reader’s attention. But could Potts’ writing meet up to the lofty standards that have been set? Fortunately, yes.
I really like thrillers with shifting first-person storylines. And in this instance, the contrast between the geographical locations and the upbringing of these personalities just heightened the sense of interest regarding how on earth their lives would one day collide.
Rebecca and Keller, as well as the other people and experiences that affected their life, are skillfully developed by Potts in her novel Hiding. Keller is possibly the most successful of the two. In their gang, there had been four of them. Angelo, Steve, Keller, Lemi, and They are all a little out of place and never participate in the main event. The four of them resembled the leftover pastry pies Lemi’s mother used to make. Both with menacing ideas and a sense of loneliness and alienation.
The Atlantic wind carried the want to know. She watched the waves spume out the window as it smacked her dark hair against her face as if to dare her. At age 10, Rebecca Brown made up her mind. She would receive some clarification. She had endured enough waiting. I loved Potts’ frequently contemplative and literary flow of phrase, even if it was well-paced, succinct, and captivating. He was a man in a community where emotional reserve was in short supply. It provided a welcome counterpoint to the gritty violence of other events shown.
But Hiding ended more abruptly and with less gravity than I had anticipated following Jenny Morton Potts’ superb attention to detail and intricate, yet measured plotting. Having said that, up until that moment I had been completely absorbed, and I eagerly forward reading more from this obviously gifted storyteller.
