Following the death of a patient in her care, Radha begins taking Valium to control her anxiety.

She tells herself she’s fine, but as the pressures of being a perfect wife, mother and daughter mount, her little habit spirals into addiction.

When she’s forced to find a new source of pills, she stumbles into the blackmailing clutches of Glasgow’s underworld.

A mistake that could cost her everything.

They give her an impossible choice: face personal and professional ruin or have blood on her hands by helping them deal.

As she fights to protect all she holds dear, can she protect herself?


A gripping and emotional suspense novel about a woman who risks it all to juggle it all.

Perfect for fans of Jo Spain, Paula Hawkins, Gillian Flynn.

1.0 out of 5 stars a chore to slog thru because it's so boring
Reviewed in Canada on October 20, 2022

The potential was there to do a deep dive about drug addiction and also to explore the Indian culture. Instead I slogged my way thru a very dry and boring story with an ending you can see coming early on in the story. The Samantha video reveal was so cheesy and unbelievable I literally rolled my eyes.

5.0 out of 5 stars The subtitle doesn't lie!

WOW, what a thriller. Just when you think a problem has been resolved, Heleen comes up with a surprising new twist! I could easily relate to the characters. Though Radha made some bad choices, you can't help but sympathize with the sticky situation she got herself into.
And early on in the story, the seeds were cleverly planted for the role her retired dad was going to play in the whole intrigue.

Every chapter made me want to continue reading, made me want to find out what would happen next. And now that I've finished the book, I again wonder what's next: what will the future hold for Radha and her family? Time for a sequel, perhaps?

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible page turner

The real question to be asked from this book is … define being an addict and a real addict!

One of my favourite things about What I Hid From You was the hidden meanings. Don’t get me wrong this was one hell of an incredibly thrilling read. It had a steady pace throughout but hooked you instantly wanting, no, needing to know what happens next…

However, that being said a BIG part of this book was about addiction and anxiety. The way it was written was incredibly sensitive but also made you realise just how bad either one of these could be.

When people think of addiction they automatically think of one type of person and that is not the case. As you can see clearly in this masterpiece written by Heleen Kist.

The same with anxiety. A word that is overused if you ask me. But it is in this context where people need the help, and are too ashamed to ask for it. It was heartbreaking that the main character did not feel ok to talk.

My second favourite thing about this book and Heleen’s writing style is the impeccable description that is used … so much so that in the beginning you can feel the weight that has been lifted from The main character Radha’s shoulders before you have even had a chance to connect with her.

That being said, it didn’t take long at all to feel a strong bond and connection to Radha. She was written perfectly, dealing with sensitive subjects taken with such care and consideration.

This is an amazing book that I believe will be enjoyed by many no matter what genre they prefer. This is more than just a one genre fitting. Absolutely incredible!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good start but became dull

I really enjoyed the first half of the book, it then became quite obvious what the conclusion would be. I found it lacked suspense and pace towards the end and I was skimming to finish, although the main character was likeable.
Wouldn't brushing to read another by this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Be warned....once you start, you can't stop.

This is the third book written by Heleen Kist that I've enjoyed a lot. I couldn't put it down and now that I've finished it life is a bit empty. I could relate to Radha and her relationships and anxiety, but what I thought was interesting is the way the 'baddie' is described and how for a moment I understood them and their role as parent too. The book is full of suspense and I highly recommend reading it.
