About this listen
It was a case that haunts Bobby Dodge to this day—the case that nearly killed him and changed his life forever. Now, in an underground chamber on the grounds of an abandoned Massachusetts mental hospital, the gruesome discovery of six mummified corpses resurrects his worst nightmare: the return of a killer he thought dead and buried. There’s no place to run. . . . Bobby’s only lead is wrapped around a dead woman’s neck. Annabelle Granger has been in hiding for as long as she can remember. Her childhood was a blur of new cities and assumed identities. But what—or who—her family was running from, she never knew. Now a body is unearthed from a grave, wearing a necklace bearing Annabelle’s name, and the danger is too close to escape. This time, she’s not going to run. You know he will find you. . . .
The new threat could be the dead psychopath’s copycat, his protégé—or something far more terrifying. Dodge knows the only way to find him is to solve the mystery of Annabelle Granger, and to do that he must team up with his former lover, partner, and friend D. D. Warren from the Boston P.D. But the trail leads back to a woman from Bobby’s past who may be every bit as dangerous as the new killer—a beautiful survivor-turned-avenger with an eerie link to Annabelle. From its tense opening pages to its shocking climax, Hide is a thriller that delves into our deepest, darkest fears. Where there is no one to trust. Where there is no place left to hide.©2007 Lisa Gardner Inc.; (P)2007 Random House Inc.
What the critics say

“First-rate . . . A nail-biting ride to the thrilling climax.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“The crises are gripping, the protagonists earn quick sympathy and the pages turn with speed.”—The Wall Street Journal
“Sometimes a series writer, in this case Lisa Gardner, rises above to produce a book that stands alone because it's that good. Indeed, Gardner continues with her lead character from Alone, Massachusetts state police Det. Bobby Dodge, but in Hide, she really brings her game.”—Daily News, New York
"An intense, suspenseful story.”—Chicago Tribune

This is a high-quality Crime-Thriller. To be sure, Lisa Gardner doesn't have any Pulitzers or Nobels in her future ('Hide' isn't anything close to "Literature"), but the twisty-turny plot - neatly tied up in the end - is keep-you-guessing clever, the characters are interesting, the dialogue is realistic, and the description is viscerally-affecting. Despite a straight-up silly overdramatic conclusion, I enjoyed the offering.
Also in the audiobook's favor: Random House Audio enlisted Maggi-Meg Reed to narrate the book. Reed's reading is undeniably imperfect (exhibiting an oddly upbeat tone at times), but her diction, timbre, cadence, and voice-acting are unimpeachable. This is a solidly above-average performance.
You don't absolutely NEED to read 'Alone' before this one - but that first book in the 'D.D.Warren and Flora Dane' series definitely clarifies some plot points, makes some characters more realistic, and helps to imply some motivations for the perpetrator. Despite that deficiency in standalone merit, this recording still translates to a 9/10-star effort.. easily worth your Credit. Enjoy.
Gritty. Gruesome. Gripping.
