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 Anatomy of a Scandal*
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 The Sanatorium*
Evocative, beautifully written and absolutely gripping, The
Midnight Hour is sensational - her best yet
*Rosie Walsh, bestselling author of The Man Who Didn’t Call*
