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)

good book...

great book but the narrator is not my favorite. it took me a while to get into in because of the narrator.

Decent if you can get over the narrator

The narrator’s portrayal of the main character makes him sound like a complete baffoon and it was hard to get past. I felt relieved when I finished the book so I didn’t have to hear it anymore.

DIFFICULT to get into it.But Oddly CAPTIVATING!

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

Yes I think I would. The writer is very good but the narrator is hard to get into. Her voice at times is just so boring.

What other book might you compare Alone to and why?

Any of the murder mysteries.

What three words best describe Anna Fields’s voice?

Monotone at times - clear - and oddly captivating.

Could you see Alone being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

It took me awhile to get into this book. It was dry in the beginning but the last 3 hours of the book, things got going and was BAM, BAM, BAM until the end.

WOW what a twist!!!

I can honestly say I did not see that coming at all! This novel was well narrated and kept me on my toes the entire time, well played Lisa Gardner! I think I've just found a new favorite 🙃

Another great Gardner book!

This is a good book. I have listened to many books by this author she knows how to keep the audience guessing and entertained.

Kept my interest. Nice twists.

I found the female narrator's male voices creepy.The unexpected twists in the story kept my interest. I'll listen to another of this series.

Good story!<br />

realized I had already listened to the story, but it was enjoyable the second time around.

good story, narration and characterizations poor.<br />

Almost returned it because of the characterizations/ narrator, made it hard to get through. The story kept me going!

one of my favorites!

I love Garner books, and this one is on the top of my list. I love the twists, the relationship with the characters, and the story line leaves u wondering! I couldn't stop listening!

Riveted!

I could not stop listening to this book. So many twists and the voices of the characters were great.
A must read/ listen for sure
