Publisher's summary

“Like all the best suspense novels, Alone will leave you shaken...You can't wait to see what happens next.” (People)

Who can you turn to when you’re at your most vulnerable?

State Trooper Bobby Dodge watches a tense hostage standoff through the scope of his sniper rifle. Dodge has only one second to react, or a woman and her child may die.

Where can you hide when this killer comes?

The woman at the other end of Bobby Dodge’s rifle isn’t only in trouble - she is trouble. Cool, beautiful, and dangerously sexy, Catherine Rose Gagnon’s life will change in an instant of violence.

It’s the most terrifying place to be...When Bobby pulls the trigger, someone will die. And then no one will be above suspicion, no one beyond harm.

And no one will see death coming until it has them cornered, helpless, and alone.

Critic reviews

"Three-dimensional characters fill out a riveting story that is like a juicy steak: slow broiled to perfection....Highly recommended." (Library Journal)

"Intricate and suspenseful, Alone keeps you on the edge of your seat." (Los Angeles Times)

"Like all the best suspense novels, Alone will leave you shaken....you can't wait to see what happens next." (People Magazine)

Great book!

The story was well written with great attention paid to character and story development. Never saw the twist coming! Nice to see DD Warren also!!

suspenseful

loved it, loved the twists and turns . keeps you guessing. narration was pretty good also. voice changes was good.

Phenomenal!!

This is my first novel by Lisa Gardner, and I am most certainly not disappointed. I listened to this all in one fell swoop, and am going to search for another as soon as I wake up later today. I don't want to spoil this for anyone, but you'll be stuck within the first 5 minutes. Guarented!!

Enjoyable story, nice setting, mystery predictable

Would you try another book from Lisa Gardner and/or Anna Fields?

Yes.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Mostly predictable but satisfying

What aspect of Anna Fields???s performance would you have changed?

Her Boston accent wasn't authentic.

Do you think Alone needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes I would like to see if Lisa Gardner develops more interesting mysteries and I liked the main character Bobby Dodge.

Any additional comments?

Alone is entertaining story but a predictable mystery. I enjoyed reading a story set in Boson. Bobby Dodge is a sympathetic main character, as is the secondary character Catherine Rose Gagnon. I didn't really buy the extent of the power one of the villain exercised. The narrator Anna Fields does not get the Boston accents right but otherwise does an OK job. I probably will check another title by Gardner.

Good story

After starting this I went to search reviews.. the narration was sooo monotone I almost couldn’t continue... not a single negative review or any mention of the narrator so I continued on.. and either she got better or I just got used to it and the storyline kept me intrigued so I finished it!

terrible narration

Good story but hard to get past the narrator's voice and the awful character voices she used.

חוות דעת

ספר ראשון בסדרת החוקרת די-די וארן ,

האמת , קצת התאכזבתי🙈 כי התחלתי את הספר הראשון בסדרה כדי להבין יותר את הדמות של די-די,
ולצערי היא הופיעה מעט מאד בספר🤦🏻‍♀️

אבללל בכל זאת זה ספר מתח מעולה עם דמויות עגולות וסבוכות בדיוק כמו שאני אוהבת
עם עלילה מותחת ולא צפויה ❤️

Narrator ruined this title

I could not get past the narrator with this book. I did not finish the story. I tried very hard but this was not the right book for her.

Like others in the series

I’ve been reading this series for about three books. They are named for a female officer in the books but seem to be about a sniper cop named Bobby Dodge. He is an alcoholic but rarely relapses. The books are not too gory and the sex scenes are usually tender. I really prefer female authors for cop stories

So Creative

I just got sucked into this book, I listen to my books while I drive back and forth to work, often my commute is an hour long, I found myself taking the long way home just so I could listen to the book longer. I really enjoyed this author. This is the first book that I have listened to by her.
