I loved Hidden Depths. Immersive, suspenseful and humane, this is a novel to savour. * Louise Candlish * Hidden Depths is that rare thing - an utterly compelling pageturner with real literary merit. Araminta Hall gives fresh insight into the Titanic story with an historical novel that uses her family's real life experiences to inspire characters whose emotions and crises feel utterly immersive and contemporary. My favourite of Hall's novels - and that's saying something! * Kate Helm * I loved Hidden Depths. Gorgeously written, evocative and compelling, this is a powerful and suspenseful novel about a woman's voice finally being heard. Set on the Titanic, this is a must read next year. * Sarah J Harris * A stunning read exploring female empowerment and love, set aboard the Titanic.

Just astonishingly good. * Katy Regan * Really enjoyed this twisty suspense set on the Titanic. * Olivia Kiernan * A gripping tale of gaslighting & betrayal set on Titanic with moments of Hitchcock-like suspense, this story plays with your emotions & keeps you turning the pages for more.
