Book Description

August 2004
Watch your back. Trust no one. And when a killer closes in, hide yourself away.

It should have been an ideal week during a perfect summer in "America's First Resort." But just hours before the KEY News crew arrives for their broadcasts from Newport, Rhode Island, the skeleton of a socialite who disappeared fourteen years ago is found in a dank tunnel beneath a famous mansion.

It doesn't end there. Next, the socialite's daughter is found at the bottom of the Forty Steps that lead from the legendary Cliff Walk to the ocean. And soon, the town is talking about the scandal and a killer whose work may be only beginning.

When one of the KEY News interns is killed in a suspicious car accident and another disappears, this year's crop of fledgling journalists are targets, including Grace Callahan, not so young at thirty-two, who came to the City-by-the-Sea determined to launch a future in television news. She and the other KEY interns have been told that at the end of the summer one of them will be offered a full-time position. Grace, a single mother fighting for custody of her preteen daughter, needs the job more than any of the other interns do. As their number dwindles one by one, Grace must face the real danger that lurks in an otherwise idyllic town. But can she uncover a murderer who does not want the secrets buried beneath the city's fabled mansions to come to light? With its lightning-fast pace and unpredictable twists, Hide Yourself Away is Mary Jane Clark at her suspenseful best.

Readers beware. You won't want to miss a word, because with a Mary Jane Clark novel, every word is a clue.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

This plodding seventh thriller in Clark's popular KEY News series is distinguished chiefly by the author's insider perspective on major network TV. Grace Callahan, 32-year-old divorced single mom, is the oldest (and by far the neediest) of four TV interns competing for a permanent spot on the crew of KEY to America, a major network news show, when the team departs to do a weeklong remote broadcast from historic Newport, R.I. Forced to leave her 11-year-old daughter, Lucy, in the care of her philandering ex-husband and his Barbie doll wife (who are suing for full custody), Grace develops a crush on her producer, B.J. D'Elia, and feels drably inferior to fellow intern Joss Vickers, super-chic daughter of a wealthy Newport family. The story is kicked into motion by the discovery of the skeleton of a socialite who disappeared 14 years before in an old Underground Railroad tunnel ("a human skull and bones, swaddled in yards of gold lamé"), and the number of suspects and clues (smelly red herrings) rapidly proliferate to include a sleazy local scrimshander, a tattoo artist and a clambake master—all this before Grace's fellow interns begin to fall victim to the paranoid murderer. Even Clark's most faithful fans will be fatigued by the repetitive soap opera plot, which wears on and on until virtually everyone is suspect.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hide Yourself Away is an okay read, October 31, 2004
By 
This review is from: Hide Yourself Away (Hardcover)
Grace Callahan is a single mother working as an intern for Key to America, a popular morning television program. She is in competition with students a lot younger than she for the one position available. Grace would not be able to do her job without her Dad's help, despite his failing health. Her ex-husband Frank is making things difficult for her when he sues for full-time custody of their daughter Lucy. Grace goes to Newport, Rhode Island with the show to do an in-depth look at the area. The investigation into the cause of death of Charlotte Sloane is re-opened 14 years after her murder when her remains are found. Grace befriends her daughter Madeleine Sloane days before she is murdered. Sam Watkins, one of the interns is knocked unconscious after witnessing the crime. Zoe, another intern is murdered. Residents and workers of Key to America are tense because of the escalating violence. The art of scrimshaw is mentioned often throughout the story without really being explained. Some storylines are taken up and dropped without explanation. The chapters are each a quick read without too much depth. The killer is not revealed until the end but by then my interest wavered.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Read, January 5, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hide Yourself Away (Hardcover)
It may not be the Great American Novel, but this book was certainly enjoyable. It has a similar style to her other books, and I was definitely surprised by the ending. I read it on a six hour airplane flight, and it was good enough to take my mind off of my fear of flying! If you like her other books, you'll like this one.
