Books like The hiding place by Karen Harper
After an extended coma, Tara Kinsale wakes to devastating news: her best friend, Alexis, has been murdered, and she is suddenly left to care for Alexis’s daughter, Claire, while her husband abandons her for another woman. With her world shattered, Tara rebuilds her life by reopening her private‑investigation firm and taking on the responsibility of raising the child. The situation worsens when Nick MacMahon—a close relative of Claire who has returned from military service in Afghanistan—steps in to claim custodial guardianship. Tara and Nick must confront a sinister threat that emerged during her unconscious months, and together they investigate the mysterious loss of a precious item from her life. Their partnership forces them to unearth long‑hidden secrets that could jeopardize everything they hold dear and prove that some hidden truths resurface no matter how deep they are buried.
