*****
Present day Paris: Maggie Parker receives a call. The new owners of her family's old Notting Hill home are digging up the basement. They've no idea what might lie beneath . . .
London, twenty-one years earlier: teenaged Maggie, babysitting her little brother, waits in vain for her mother to come home after a night out. Seeking clues to her mother's mysterious disappearance, she's drawn away from the neighbourhood's grand terraces and into its hustling backstreets - and the arms of someone else living on their wits.
Over two decades later, the clock is ticking on a secret set to shatter Maggie's grown-up life. But the draw of the past is irresistible . . .

Mesmerising - a book you want to race back to -- Lisa Jewell 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, <i?Sunday TImes</i> bestselling author of <i>The Girls Who Disappeared</i> Passionately emotional, dreamily written and dripping with boho glamour * Daily Mail * Moody, evocative, with a dream-like quality no other author can master -- Gillian McAllister, bestselling author of <i>Just Another Missing Person</i> Beautifully written and totally compelling * Fabulous * An Eve Chase novel is always a sumptuous treat, and The Midnight Hour is perhaps her best yet. Exquisitely written, it's immersive, propulsive and as intricately constructed as the antique clocks which herald each lonely midnight hour. As ever, it's her characterisation that stands out, and her depiction of the joy and precariousness of first love, enjoyed by Maggie and Wolf. With whispers of One Day, and a story reaching back into nineties Notting Hill and Paris, this is a novel to immerse yourself in this summer: lush, evocative, nostalgic; gripping, with a dark undercurrent, but ultimately redemptive and hopeful. A true treat of a book -- Sarah Vaughan, author of <i>Anatomy of a Scandal</i> A wonderful twisty novel of family and secrets - the perfect summer read -- Kate Morton A gripping tale of family secrets * Woman's Own * I loved The Midnight Hour, a gripping, beautifully written novel that plunges you into the lives of siblings, Maggie and Kit, and the mysterious past that looks like it's about to catch up with them. Eve Chase skilfully weaves together two time periods, evoking London and Paris and the world of antiques with such a depth of detail that I felt I was walking the streets alongside the characters. As the tension builds and the secrets they've been hiding start to come to light, I couldn't turn the pages fast enough and felt every bit of Maggie and Kit's peril. A summer must-read. -- Sarah Pearse, bestselling author of <i>The Sanatorium</i> This mesmerizing mystery from Chase traces the story of an eccentric British family across two decades . . . with poetic prose and a sweeping scope, Chase reveals the Parker family's secrets at a tantalizing pace. The heart of the story, however, lies in Maggie and Wolf's reunion, which the author portrays with tenderness. Surprising, suspenseful, and heartfelt, this is impossible to forget * Publishers Weekly, starred review *More details
