A riveting page-turner about a woman caught in the crosshairs of an agri-business’ corporate assassin.

Against hope, Smythe Windwalker Daniels’ anonymity is compromised and a creditable threat has been made against her life. As the threats ratchet up, she feels she has no place to hide, and the danger impacts not only her life but the lives of those around her. She reluctantly accepts the FBI’s protection, hoping to testify and bring a promise of justice to her community.

Smythe is a woman with vision in her eyes and fire in her soul. From a young age, Smythe was discriminated against as a mixed-race girl in a predominately white neighborhood. She leaves her current career to escape the corporate rat race, only to get entangled in a pesticide poisoning cover-up attempt by a mega corporation. While on the run, she seeks to find meaning in events that now threaten her life.

Through a series of misadventures, she discovers how all events are all woven together in this tapestry called “life.” As she uses her past experience to find meaning in her present, she begins to see beauty in the midst of chaos. But the harder she tries to hide, the more difficult it is to survive.

About the Author

Opa Hysea Wise is an American author, born to mixed-race parents. She grew up across the United States and currently resides out West.

As an adult, Opa understood the deep need for connection that we as humans have. Like so many people of color, the longer she remained in the States, the more she came to experience a sense of “otherness.” Those experiences fueled her desire to discuss diversity as the woven fabric within the American tapestry.

She worked as a Training and Development specialist and manager in Government and Corporate organizations. Often tasked to develop and deliver diversity courses, Opa brought a sense of understanding, compassion, and a call to action to her audience with the firm knowledge that returning to the connection we all have as one body in this universe would be but one step to returning to love.

Engaging Story of Self-Discovery

Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2020

No Place to Hide is a suspenseful page-turner, but the real thrill in the story is Smythe's development over the course of the story.

Smythe is a fascinating character, with a rich background, and a deep connection to life, and her higher-self. This is just as much a murder mystery as it is a story of self-discovery and the adventure of life.

Very enjoyable, engaging read. I look forward to reading more from Wise.

Smythe is the oldest of three daughters, the one that has to take responsibility for difficult decisions when her mother can’t handle the strain. When her father has an inoperable stroke, it is Smythe who has to make the best choice for her father and notify her siblings. When Smythe witnesses a murder, she has to rely on herself to get through a harrowing situation snd come out the other side. I really liked the growth of the main character throughout the book, as well as the balance between action and characterization. The only issue I had was there were some preachy parts of the book. Suspenseful, intriguing, and with a surprise ending, lovers of suspense will enjoy this book.

More about relationships than the murder mystery

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2020

Review first posted at Girl Who Reads. A free copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.

Smythe Windwalker Daniels has been compromised, and there are credible threats to her life. She accepts the FBI’s protection, hoping to testify and bring justice, as well as meaning to her life on the run.

No Place to Hide takes place in Hawaii, so many features of native life are mentioned and discussed. Smythe's history is given upfront as soon as we meet her and she contemplates quitting her job. When she does, she's in the wrong place at the wrong time, witnessing a murder. Involvement with the FBI brings up past times she or indigenous family members were racially profiled by police and authority figures. Smythe is biracial, which means she has microaggressions coming from all sides of her heritage and doesn't trust authority. While the reader gets all this backstory, the agent sees it as willful obstinate and wanting to make her life miserable. We get more info-dumping on the agent and her friend, which really slows the pacing in the beginning of the book.

There are interesting characters in the book, such as the philosophical baker Joao. I enjoyed the time spent showing the characters getting to know each other and appreciating each others' strengths. Initially, there were a lot of choppy sentences, and some errors jumped out at me; "wha-la" instead of voila is a huge one that threw me right out of the narrative, for example. Some of the conversations feel a bit stilted at times, particularly when there's exposition. Smythe is trying to find her place in the world, but the philosophical discussions come across as heavy-handed at times. I don't know how long it takes to get a case going to the courts, but it seems like an incredibly long time over the course of the book.

In addition to philosophy, there are discussions about childhood abuse, mental illness, and religion; the discussions make up the bulk of the book, with short bursts of action in between. I had expected this to be a thriller, but this novel is more about relationships and conversations. Mindfulness exercises and meditation are described in detail, as well as Smythe's concern for her business and conferences to learn coaching techniques. If you have any curiosity regarding life as a success coach, this will give you an idea of how it works.

Self-Discovery and Suspense

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2021

No Place To Hide will never let you down on suspense. It is not only suspenseful, thrilling and riveting but it is also a fast paced read and a well developed characters. In this book you will not only enjoy the suspense that the murder story brings but you will enjoy how beautiful and strong the woman in this story. How she developed herself, and become the woman that she is, her discovery of her self and the compassion she has.

In a way this felt like a mix of John Grisham's The Pelican Brief and The Client, minus the legal parts. The author is a wonderful writer with a great vocabulary and well done story structure. One thing though, I would have loved more intensity throughout. I picked this book believing it was a fast-paced thriller/suspense but it didn't quite hit that level. But otherwise nicely done.
