About this audiobook

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 P.D. 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 pages 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.

    On the grounds of the now-defunct Boston State Mental Hospital, an underground chamber containing the bodies of six young girls is found. One of the bodies has a locket with a name engraved on it--Annabelle Granger.

    Annabelle Granger, now living in the North End, building up her own small window treatments business, is not as startled as one might expect by the news of her own death, but she is very alarmed. She's been living in hiding and on the run since the day in 1982 when her parents packed their family belongings into five suitcases, put them in the car, and drove away from their Arlington, MA home forever.

    As Boston Detective Sargent D.D. Warren and Mass. State Homicide Detective Bobby Dodge try to identify their six victims and puzzle out the possible connection to an earlier case, also involving a kidnapped young girl held captive in an underground chamber, Tanya/Annabelle tries to figure out who her father realy was, and why he kept them on the move, changing names and cities every couple of years. Why he started, when she was just seven years old, schooling her in the basics of self-protection and self-defense, of evading and resisting possible kidnappers.

    And the more she learns, the more confused and alarmed she becomes. Was her father the loving, protective parent she remembers, or was he someone else, someone much scarier?

    This is a very tightly plotted mystery, keeping the reader guessing all the way, sharing Annabelle's confusion and bewilderment, and the frustration of Bobby Dodge and D.D. Warren as they attempt to find the killer. I was on the edge of my seat all through the story. Character development is also excellent, especially for Annabelle and Bobby Dodge, but also for lesser characters, including Charlie Martin, as well as the parents of Annabelle's girlhood best friend.

    Recommended.

    I borrowed this book from the library.

    Hide is a great book....You can not put it down! It keeps you guessing until the end and finishes with a big whammy! This is the only book in the series I've read, but it was very easy to follow.The book begins with Bobby Dodge finding 6 mummified corpses under ground at the Massachusetts mental hospital. This resembles an identical crime year ago...but how can that be? Thus enters Annabelle Granger who has been running and hiding all her life, but never knew what she was running from. Now one of the corpse is found wearing Annabelle's necklace and she is declared dead! Thus unfolds the story traveling from one suspect to another. How do you know who to trust, or can anyone be trusted?

    A good read. I had trouble with the detectives pursuing Christopher Eola. I think it was blatantly obvious that he did not commit the crime. Good stuff I'm going to give the 3rd book a go.

    After enjoying DD Warren #1, this one...not so much. It rambles and is difficult to listen. The book flops back and forth between first person and third person with resulting confusion. Tell me again, who's our hero?

    Growing up, Annabelle Granger knew she and her parents led a strange life. From the time she was seven they never lived anywhere for more than a couple of years before mysteriously moving to a new state with new names. She never knew why and now, twenty-five years later, her parents are both dead and she is back to living in Boston where she last felt stability. She lives a reclusive life, still anonymous and known by the name Tanya, and still feeling the fears of her childhood. Only the startling news that Annabelle Granger is dead, part of a gruesome crime scene involving six children buried in an underground chamber on the grounds of the now-closed state mental hospital, causes Annabelle come forward. Annabelle tells Detectives Bobby Dodge and D.D. Warren her strange story. Not many facts of her past can be substantiated due to the frequent change of names and address. The investigation of the serial murders unearths more than one suspect.

    The author builds suspense by raising a number of questions that are not answered until the very end. She did a great job of writing fully dimensional characters and writes a very readable suspense/thriller novel. I thought the book was great up until the last few pages where the ending felt a little rushed but that didn't spoil my overall enjoyment of this book. I'll definitely pick up the next book of the series.

    I enjoy Lisa Gardner's novels, and especially the Booby Dodge/D.D. Warren books. Set in and around Boston, this is a story of the discovery of an underground bunker on the site of a former mental institution. Decent page-turner, and a couple good twists.

    I couldn't put this book down!

    Wow! What a roller-coaster of action, emotions, twists & turns from start to finish...this book gripped me from the very first page and I went without a lot of sleep to keep reading it because I just couldn't bear not to find out what happened on the next page, and the next, and the next.

    Lisa Gardner has the crime thriller absolutely nailed and I can't wait to read the next one in the DD Warren series, and of course all the other books she's written.

    I cannot recommend it enough, though of course it will help if you read "Alone" (the first in the D.D. Warren series) first as well.

    This new-to-me series had me hooked from Chapter 1. The storyline was full of twists and turns without being hard to follow or outrageous. Every plot twist made perfect sense once explained. This action-driven book kept me hooked until the ending. The reveal was not at all what I expected, but once again, it made perfect sense once explained. I loved every minute!

    Alternates between first and third person perspectives, which I usually dislike but actually found compelling in this book.
    Annabelle is a sympathetic character and her story is engrossing. All of the plot lines are tied up very well at the end.

    Immediately after finishing Alone I started on Hide (it was that much fun) and though I knew these were books 1 & 2 of a series, I didn’t know they they were connected so tightly. I won’t go so far as to say they’re one long story arc, but there is enough continuation of the first story that I’d recommend reading Alone first. That and there are spoilers for Alone in Hide. It is interesting that these are billed as D.D. Warren books, when I think that the first one wasn’t really intended as a start of a series, and the second, if it is, features Bobby Dodge, not D.D. It seems like the D.D. books took off later and these were tacked on just because she’s in them and that if no other stories focus on Bobby, you can’t really name a series after him with only 2 books. Awkward explanation, I agree, but that’s my perception.In my previous experience with a D.D. Warren book, I didn’t much care for her, but I did like the way the victim was portrayed. She was complex and her situation was tangled in the extreme. We have that type of story again with both of these books. Catherine I found to be a really interesting ‘victim’. She’s got enough ambiguity and doubt clinging to her that it’s difficult to use that term, but it does apply and it’s not hard to see how her traumatic experience would warp her personality into what she became. I didn’t like her, but I did sympathize. Gardner builds a lot of doubt about the circumstances for the bulk of the readers’ sympathy to shift to Bobby. Used to being behind the gun, he gets himself into a lot of other people’s crosshairs and it’s mostly him you worry about. We meet Cat again in Hide, but she’s not the focus for that book. Instead we get another woman trying to hold herself together after a disturbing childhood. Annabelle is way more sympathetic than Cat even though what she suffered wasn’t nearly as horrible. Instead we’ve got a woman so scared of being known to people that she continues to live under the alias her father selected for their last desperate flight to escape an enemy he’s never explained to her. She’s strong and capable, but those skills are built on fear, paranoia and complete uncertainty of what or who her enemy actually is. In both books we have a good variety of suspects who come to light one at a time. There are a lot of unknowns and it’s police work and investigation that gets results, not rabbit-out-of-a-hat forensics. It feels more desperate as a result. The changes from viewpoint to viewpoint are done well. Not too long or too short and the voices for Bobby and the two victims are distinct. There were a few clangy phrases (like ‘death investigators’) that I didn’t like, but not many. One of the characters in Hide got a little preachy about the implosion of the mental health system in the US, but because I agree with the rant, it didn’t bother me. Some details about ordinance and cars were wrong, too (a BMW 450i? I don’t think so.) and so better research is needed. Still, the overall stories are powerful enough to keep me reading Gardner’s books. Seems like she has a lot of them, so a lot to look forward to.

    This is the 2nd book in a series, but I don't feel you need to read book #1 to enjoy this one (although I did).

    Annabelle has been on the run for 25 years, but she doesn't know why. Now someone identified as Annabelle has been found dead. Who killed her? Why?

    This is as good a mystery/crime drama as it gets. Well written and kept me guessing up to the end.

    This book was phenomenal!! It really kept you wondering what was going to happen next and had a completely shocking ending! Lisa Gardner has outdone herself with this novel!! I can't wait to read The Neighbor!! This is now my new favorite author! I can't get enough or say good enough things about Lisa Gardner's books!! I find myself being able to totally identify with the characters and her books seem to gulp you in like you are a character yourself. She has such a great imagination and each story although has the same idea of murder and mystery, are totally different in which the ways you get to the murder and mystery! Each story is equally captivating and the further I get into this series the more I find myself saying this is one of the best books I've ever read!

    After reading the book I was desperate to find the movie to watch, which was equally as good.

    Having never read any other D.D. Warren novels, I wasn't even aware that this was a recurring character. That being said, I would barely consider her a main character in this book. The main characters are Annabelle and Bobby. Annabelle has spent her entire life running from someone. Bobby has spent his career trying to do the right thing. Together, with the help of D.D., they uncover some chilling truths. A real thriller that is well written and fun to read. This is one book that I could not put down.

    This was a good murder mystery that kept you guessing to the end. The only thing is that I see it is supposed to be a Detective Warren series, but as I was reading it I felt it more centered around the other Detective. And by all means do not see the TNT movie they did on this book. It was awful. They changed so much and rushed it. If you did't read the book, you would have no idea what it was actually about.

    This was a re-read of this book the last time I read it was back in 2008 and with the made-for-tv movie coming out this week I wanted to refresh my memory, which needed refreshing as I couldn't remember who the bad guy was so it was familiar yet still new.I do love Bobby even with his hero complex and his need to rescue the damsel in distress with a little more feeling than he should have. I still don’t like DD much as I have said in other reviews of Lisa’s books but as always I could not put this down and read it in 2 days, so my rating from over 3 years ago stands at a solid 4 Stars.I hope they do a good job on the movie so that there may be more of Lisa Gardner’s books made into movies , I think the one they need to do is Say Goodbye!4 Stars

    Reason for Reading: I am reading this series but started with book #3, since my sister had the first two books it was the perfect opportunity to catch up with the series.It is two years after the first book and Bobby Dodge has become a State Police detective. When Boston P.D. uncover an underground pit containing the bodies of six young girls, the similarities to the case in book one are too familiar not to notice. Bobby Dodge and D.D. Warren are partnered up to investigate. Not only will this take them back to the persons concerned with the first case but also introduce them to a young woman who has spent her entire life on the run and she doesn't even know why.This was a thrilling, exciting read and introduces D.D. Warrren as a main character for the first time. More time is spent on fleshing out her character and introducing us to this smart, tough, acerbic detective whom we only briefly met in book one. The case is full of twists and turns and only slowly reveals information as it unravels making it virtually impossible to completely solve on your own until near the end. One can guess who the "bad guy" may be, but the full motive and reasoning is only slowly unwound. With the setting taking place on the grounds of an old abandoned mental hospital the atmosphere is perfect for the cast of suspects who include former patients and staff, to name a few. Since I started with book 3, this one is much more what I'm used to and better than book one *but* the plot is closely tied to Alone and they should be read in order, as Hide is full of spoilers for Alone. Good creepy story!

    Very suspenseful read. All of Tanya's life she's been on the run and hiding and she never knew why. Her parents moved every few months or yearly and changed their names. Now she's adult with both her parents deceased and living in Boston with 5 locks on her door and then a grave is turned up with 6 bodies and one of them has been identified as Annabelle Granger because of a locket around the neck of a little 7 year old's body. Tanya goes to the police and tells them her story and that Annabelle Granger was an alias her parents gave her when she was seven. The police are suspicious but start digging into the past. One of the detective's, Bobby Dodge, starts having feelings for Tanya and this complicates his relationship with his partner D.D. Lots of twists and turns in this story.

    This is the second book in the Detective D.D. Warren series, and it is also the second time that I have read this author.Detective Bobby Dodge is back! I am still confused as to why this series is not named the "Detective Bobby Dodge" series, since his role is more prominent in both this novel and its predecessor, Alone, which I read back in February.When six bodies are discovered in an underground chamber, Bobby Dodge's first thought is that the crime is reminiscent of Catherine Gagnon's case which was solved in Alone. Is this the work of the same man who kidnapped Catherine?I like this book even more than the first in the series! It is getting better!!I like Bobby Dodge, but it seems like he can't help himself but get involved with each of women in these books!!Gardner threw in lots of twists and red herrings that kept me guessing right up until the end. Just when I thought that I had everything figured out, there was another twist! I love it when authors do that - keeps me on my toes!I also like Maggie-Meg Reed's narration of this book.MY RATING: 4 stars!

    The bodies of six young girls are discovered in an underground chamber, they appear to have been long forgotten yet the heinous act is eerily familiar to another crime from the past. Is it possible that the two are connected?Det. Bobby Dodge is called in to work the scene and is stunned by what has been discovered. Annabelle Granger is stunned too- the front page of the Boston Herald says she is dead. Why have the newspapers named her as a victim and what is her role in the 25 year old murders? So many questions…Lisa Gardner has created a gripping ‘whodunit’ in this novel; I couldn’t put it down until I knew how it all played out. Most of the time, I figure out who did ‘dunit’ but not this time- kept me guessing until the end! A must read for any murder mystery fan

    I am a huge fan of Lisa Gardner. And I must say Hide was not a disappointment. The book is the 2nd book from the Bobby Dodge Series. A follow-up to Alone. I do recommend that you read Alone first. It will give you a little more history into the characters and the plot. I found this book to be one big puzzle. So many questions to be answered, so much mystery, and suspense. I had a hard time putting the book down. I’m glad I purchased this book in hardcover. It’s a keeper.

    Good, fast-paced mystery of child abductions. It had a really good build up, but the ending seemed a little too convenient. It's a good thriller, however. (Young woman sorting out her past and the way her parents constantly moved to keep her safe.) Is the morbid discovery of six young girls buried a link to her past?
