Chase parcels out her clues slowly, without a hint of showiness. About families — the ones we’re born into, the ones we make and especially the ones we flee.'
New York Times

'The story slips back and forth in time making up a cleverly constructed puzzle of a plot whose pieces finally snap together in a truly gratifying manner.' The Washington Post

AUTHORS on The Midnight Hour

‘A wonderful twisty novel of family and secrets — the perfect summer read’ – Kate Morton, author of Homecoming

‘Mesmerising - a book you want to race back to’ - Lisa Jewell, author of None of This is True

‘I’m always so excited for a new Eve Chase book and The Midnight Hour is her best yet! Beautifully written with characters that jumped off the page and a clever mystery that kept me gripped. I loved every word’ – Claire Douglas, author of The Wrong Sister and The Couple at no.9

‘Evocative, beautifully written and absolutely gripping, The Midnight Hour is sensational - her best yet’ - Rosie Walsh, author of The Love of My Life and The Man Who Didn’t Call

‘I loved The Midnight Hour, a gripping, beautifully written novel…couldn’t turn the pages fast enough and felt every bit of Maggie and Kit’s peril. A summer must-read’ – Sarah Pearse, author of The Retreat and The Wilds

'The Midnight Hour is an intricate family drama with Eve’s trademark lyricism, dishevelled, dysfunctional glamour and beguiling characters. I was completely drawn in and held my breath through twist after twist, clinging on to the emotional rollercoaster right to the very last page when I collapsed with a satisfied sigh. Emotionally astute and beautifully descriptive with a plot as tightly sprung as a Swiss watch, this will put Notting Hill back on the map. Absolutely wonderful’ – Veronica Henry, author of The Secret Beach

'Immersive, tense and ultimately redemptive, while I was reading it held me completely in its grip.' - Sarah Vaughan, author of Anatomy of a Scandal 

‘The brooding allure of a Daphne du Maurier novel and all the wonderfully English eccentricity of a Richard Curtis movie. Eve Chase is at the top of her game in this twisty mystery about broken families, first love, the burdens of fame and secrets never to be told. Zipping between nineties Notting Hill and Paris, both now and then, a dark truth is teased out of a tangle of friendships and relationships, woven together in Chase’s exquisite prose. I was up all night reading it’ – Elizabeth Fremantle, author of Disobedient 

'An engrossing, atmospheric and beautifully written story of a woman trying to turn back the hands of time. I always love an Eve Chase, but this is my favourite so far’ – Anna Mazzola, author of The Book of Secrets
