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.

It was ok.

I thought the story was going in a different direction. I didn't hate the book, however I wasn't amazed.

Narrator was distracting

Pretty good plot but the narration is just awful. Made it hard to get into.

Could not stop listening

A well written suspenseful story that kept me interested to the end. I have only read a few of this authors books but have already started the next book in this series.

Really good story

The storyline was really good. The person reading it was okay! She sounded so much like the person who performed most of Sue Grafton’s books that I found myself looking for Kinsey Milhone to speak up. Over all, I enjoyed the book.

incredible

The depth of e.otions in the characters was amazing. The twists and turns kept my attention... I flew thru this story. The narrator is now one of my favorites.

W0W til the very end!

Loved the pace and twists. I read a lot of murder mysteries and I have most figured out pretty quick. I’m hooked on Gardner! Excellent!

Good Story but Narrator lacking

This book would have been so much more enjoyable with a different narrator. Voice changes were difficult to believe and hard to listen to.
Enjoy Lisa Gardner's books, but will not read another if the narrator is the same.

Decent story, weak narrator

Having listened to several other (later) Lisa Gardner books, I have to rate Anna Fields a C-. She's OK on the female voices and even exceptional on the child voices, but the male voices are a joke and very distracting from the story. It takes more than speaking in a low-pitched voice to sound like a man would speak!

By contrast the recent Love You More read by Kirsten Potter and Katie MacNichol is very well-done and Hide (the "sequel" to Alone) with Maggi-Meg Reed is also good. The book itself is good and typical of Lisa Gardner - twisty plots, manipulative women, and fast-paced. So far Love You More is my favorite LG novel though,
