Alone

By: Lisa Gardner

Narrated by: Anna Fields

“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.

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

I know I'm not Alone . . .

. . . when I say that this audiobook was a delight. I am a fan of Gardner's and she does not disappoint on this book. I wasn't very impressed with the reader, but definitely like the book. Also, if you haven't read it yet, do read The Killing Hour and The Next Accident, Killing Hour is outstanding five stars!

OUTSTANDING

Keeps twisting and turning right until the end. Shows how there is hardly ever a clear 'black and white' to anything. Hope there is more on the way.

Twist & Turns

This was my first Lisa Gardner novel and it was so exciting! It had so many different twist & turns then tying all together!! The suspense kept me going! I wasn’t crazy about the narrators voice , that was the only struggle. But the book was an awesome read or listen. 😉

Anna Fields in over her head.

This is another hit for Lisa Gardner! With so many twists and turns, she will keep you guessing right up to the end...and beyond.
Anna Fields however, was in over her head. Her portrayal of Bobby Dodge and some of the other male characters were horrible. Bobby Dodge sounded like a dime store thug. He sounded nothing like intelligent and gentle professional that he was supposed to be. The voice Ms. Fields chose for him reminded me of some uneducated petty thief or maybe a member of a mob family. He did not sound at all like a respected professional sniper for the state police.
This was very disappointing. The only thing that made listening worthwhile was the story itself. It was just too good to stop listening based on the poor job by the reader. I hope in the future novels someone better is chosen to represent Lisa Gardner's books. I still recommend this book regardless.

Great performance but drawn out story

Like all Lisa Gardner books this story was filled with turns and suspenseful twists. The performance was wonderful so no complains there. It took some time to get use to the readers voice and tone but once I did, I thoroughly enjoyed the reading.
This may be because it was the unabridged version, but many things were repeated multiple times over and over and over again. Certain points in the book I started to zone out. I would recommend an abridged version of available bc the story is still great

Engaging twists

This book exceeded my expectations with its engaging twits throughout and interesting gripping ending. Narrator very good and easy to follow different characters !

Great story but poor performance!

Interesting characters made unsympathetic by poor voices. Would have been a good book to read.

Love these books

Love these books so much I had to go back and listen to the first in the series since I didn’t realize this was a series until after I finished one of the other ones where it tied back to this book. Now I’m about to reread the ones I’ve already read in order before I continue listening to the last one in the series I haven’t yet started. If you love plot twists, murder, and who done it books, these books will not let you down.

Excellent story

I really loved this one. I found it hard to put down and do my work. I really enjoy this author.

Page turner

Every page a new problem develops. Poor Bobbie! Great cop caught in a mess great read!
