Den enorma Booktok-favoriten - nu på svenska! Boken har exklusiva tryckta snittytor.

Mallory Quinn har precis kommit ut från rehab när hon får jobb som barnflicka åt paret Ted och Caroline Maxwells femåriga son Teddy. Och Mallory älskar det omedelbart. Hon har sitt eget krypin, kan ta löprundor i det vackra bostadsområdet om kvällarna och har stabiliteten hon behöver. Framför allt älskar hon Teddy - den rara, blyga lilla pojken som aldrig går någonstans utan ritblock och pennor. Så fort han får chansen sitter han och ritar träd, kaniner och ballonger. Men en dag ritar han något annat: en man i skogen, som släpar en kvinnas livlösa kropp.

Det dröjer inte länge innan Teddys teckningar blir ännu mer skrämmande och hans streckgubbar utvecklas snabbt till verklighetstrogna skisser som ligger långt över en femårings förmåga. Mallory börjar undra om det är glimtar av ett gammalt olöst mordfall. Kan offret hemsöka Teddy? Mallory måste lösa gåtan och rädda Teddy innan det är för sent.  

Hidden pictures är en skrämmande och pulshöjande thriller som är perfekt till höstens "spooky season"! Det är en av de absolut mest älskade böckerna på Booktok och den har utsetts till årets bästa bok av åtskilliga tidningar samt i Goodreads Choice Awards.
