Hailie

A Psychological Thriller

By: David A Lambert

Narrated by: Natalie Fortier

You can’t outrun what’s inside you.

And when the past hunts in silence,
even the sharpest mind can go blind.

Hailie Chambers is used to blood.

As a forensic photographer, she’s the calm behind the crime scene tape—documenting brutality, frame by frame, with a precision most people can’t stomach. She doesn’t flinch. She doesn’t get involved. She just captures the truth and moves on.

But when a new case surfaces—a scene more sadistic than anything she’s ever documented—something in her shifts.

The violence isn’t random. The cuts are clean. The message is deliberate.

And it feels familiar.

As the investigation deepens, Hailie begins to unravel. Blackouts. Lost time. A gnawing suspicion that what’s being done out there… might be connected to what’s buried inside her. Her past isn’t just haunting her dreams—it’s crawling up from the basement of her mind, and it’s dragging something unspeakable with it.

Set against the cold hum of forensic labs and the sterile silence of memory, HAILIE is a psychological thriller that peels back the skin of trauma to expose the raw nerves beneath. It's sharp, unrelenting, and disturbingly intimate.

Some truths live in the shadows.

Others stare you dead in the face.

Trigger Warning: This novel contains graphic scenes of violence and torture. Listener discretion is strongly advised.

Unexpected twist, great listen!

Really enjoyed this audiobook. The author did a great job with pulling you into Hailie’s story and making you feel for her. Loved the twists and turns. The narrator was great and really kept you in the story.

A wild ride!

I read the trigger warnings, but I don't think I took them as seriously as I should have. WOW! This was an incredible story by David and Natalie's narration did an amazing job given the levels of emotions and various characters. Highly recommend this for a listen, just.. take the trigger warnings seriously.

Riveting!

A gripping story of brutal murders, forensic intrigue and ultimately hope and healing. The murder scenes are graphic and I admit I had to skip through some of them. But that didn't keep me from wanting to know how the story would end. I was grateful for a satisfying ending!
The narrator did a fantastic job of bringing this story to life, embodying each character so skillfully that you forgot it was the same person voicing them all. Bravo!

Gripping

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. It was very gripping and terrifying at the same time. The narration was on point. Her portrayal of each character was very realistic and allowed my imagination to flourish.

Great Book

Loved the story line and great narration! Very good story and kept you guessing until the end

Unusual Justice

I thought it was going to be a monotonous listen but I was quickly forced to revise my first impression when the first character enters the scene. Narator, Natalie Fortier, truly brings just the right stuff to this wonderful Dave Lambert psych thriller. If I have a,complaint it is the repetition of phrases

Riveting

What a great book. The suspense wouldn’t let me stop listening. The storyline is riveting. The Narrator was wonderful. She played every part with award winning excellence.
