Publisher's summary

You have good reason to be afraid....

It was a case that haunts Bobby Dodge to this day - the case that nearly killed him and changed his life forever. Now, in an underground chamber on the grounds of an abandoned Massachusetts mental hospital, the gruesome discovery of six mummified corpses resurrects his worst nightmare: the return of a killer he thought dead and buried.

There’s no place to run....

Bobby’s only lead is wrapped around a dead woman’s neck. Annabelle Granger has been in hiding for as long as she can remember. Her childhood was a blur of new cities and assumed identities. But what - or who - her family was running from, she never knew. Now, a body is unearthed from a grave, wearing a necklace bearing Annabelle’s name, and the danger is too close to escape. This time, she’s not going to run.

You know he will find you....

The new threat could be the dead psychopath’s copycat, his protégé - or something far more terrifying. Dodge knows the only way to find him is to solve the mystery of Annabelle Granger, and to do that, he must team up with his former lover, partner, and friend D. D. Warren from the Boston PD. But the trail leads back to a woman from Bobby’s past who may be every bit as dangerous as the new killer - a beautiful survivor turned avenger with an eerie link to Annabelle.

From its tense opening moments to its shocking climax, Hide is a thriller that delves into our deepest, darkest fears. Where there is no one to trust. Where there is no place left to hide.

Lisa Gardner is WOW! AWESOME! RIVETING from page 1 to the last page!! I had a hard time putting this book down. I loved how Lisa grabbed my interest and kept it "high" till the end! I loved her writing, how she went through each chapter, how she tied up the loose ends towards the end! Here is an author who does a fantastic job of writing! I will be looking for her books and getting them. Her narrator also was super great!! I hope Lisa hangs onto her - she is awesome and wonderful!!!

Great

Loved it had a hard time pressing stop. Can't wait to start the next book.

It’s intense to find out the truth....

I got into the DD Warren series of books through Audible. Think it was a 2 credits for 3 book deals and have sense bought 7 of the books form Lisa Gardner with the DD Warren ones being some of my favorites. This is no exception to that truth...but man this was intense.

First I will tell you the narrator does a great job in this books. Her reading kept me in the story the whole time.

Second the story was well thought out but the ending feels a bit rushed. It’s doesn’t make it less enjoyable. In fact some of the constant guess work leading up to the end feels like a little bit more of a chess game could have been played out but that’s all I can say without spoils.

Third, I could not stop listening to this book. I always wanted to know what was next. So much I pretty much couldn’t stop listening to it instead of other media I could consume. It’s going to keep you tied to your seat.

One thing I will say is listen to Alone first if you haven’t. I have a strange feeling some details where spoiled from the first book which I have not read yet.

Overall, highly recommend this mystery thriller!

love my audio books

I loved this book I love anything written by this author. I want more.

Seek out “Hide”!

The first line of Lisa Gardner’s “Hide” catches your attention right away. Definitely better than “It was a dark and stormy night.” No plot or character discussion here, but suffice to say that the first hour of the book after that first line hook keeps you careening along.

There are a few slower moments scattered about, but all-in-all this book is a real page turner, word listener, or a CD switcher (your choice). Much of the credit also goes to the reader, the aptly named Maggi-Meg Reed.

I’ve seen some criticism of the ending -- which may not be the book’s strongest point -- but by my standards the book hung together right through the slightly convoluted ending. Good book!

I’m going to squeak out five stars for this one.

Draws you in; keeps you guessing

Enjoyed this book very much. Will listen again to this author. The reader is excellant as well.

Hmm.....

Where to start?? The book, overall, was a indeed a good one. In my opinion, however, I found the ending to be very anti-climatic. The build-up was great but at the end it just seemed to sort of fizz out.

Series is getting better

This was better than the first one in the series and that one was pretty good. I'm glad I finally found this series.

I liked Bobby in this book better than in book 1. DD, although the title character in the series, still seems to play a secondary role. I assume that will change going forward.

The story of child abductions is always troubling. Add to that the strange constant moving that "Annabelle" and her family did while she was growing up. This was an interesting case for the Boston PD and made for interesting reading - right through the final scene.

Decent narration but I wish the readers would refer to the previous audiobooks so name pronunciations are consistent, e.g. Gagnon. Also Boston natives would never say aunt and scallops like they were read in this audiobook. Minor distractions.

I'm ready to start Book 3. Binge reading.

well thought out story

lisa gardner does not disappoint! otherwise at times was hard to distinguish the between characters

omg

I have listened to this series out of sequence but none of that matters. This book was amazing!!!!! I have yet to be disappointed.... just great, riveting and beautifully read/ acted!!! Never dull...not even close.
