It was a case that haunts Bobby Dodge to this day–the case that nearly killed him and changed his life forever. Now, the gruesome discovery of six mummified corpses resurrects his worst nightmare: the return of a killer he thought dead and buried.
Bobby’s only lead is wrapped around a dead woman’s neck. Annabelle Granger’s 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.
Dodge knows he must 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.
From its tense beginning 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 has created an unusual and effective thriller about Annabelle Granger--a young woman whose childhood life involved running from place to place, hiding from she's-never-known-what--and a detective whose worst case is reopened when six small mummified female bodies turn up in an underground crypt, one of them wearing a locket that once belonged to Annabelle. Maggi-Meg Reed gives a fresh, intelligent, and attentive performance that makes the listener feel that the story is happening as she speaks. Gardner delivers believable characters in harrowing circumstances, and Reed matches deft plotting with a sympathy and skill that create nerve-pinging tension over people you care about. This is a superlative performance of a thoroughly absorbing entertainment. B.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine

      Starred review from November 27, 2006
      In bestseller Gardner's first-rate follow-up to Alone
      (2005), Bobby Dodge, once a sniper for the Massachusetts State Police and now a police detective, gets called to a horrific crime scene in the middle of the night by fellow detective and ex-lover D.D. Warren. An underground chamber has been discovered on the property of a former Boston mental hospital containing six small naked mummified female bodies in clear garbage bags. A silver locket with one of the corpses, which may be decades old, bears the name Annabelle Granger. Later, a woman shows up at the Boston Homicide offices claiming to be Annabelle Granger. Her resemblance to Catherine Gagnon (whose life Bobby saved in Alone
      ) helps stoke a romance between her and Bobby both subtle and sizzling. The suspense builds as the police uncover links between patients at the hospital and long-ago criminal activities. Through expert use of red herrings, Gardner takes the reader on a nail-biting ride to the thrilling climax.

      Reed will find lots of work in the audio whodunit world. She has a low, slightly gravelly voice that fits the genre well. She distinguishes characters without trying to be them and helps a wacky protagonist become a believable character. The gruesome story begins with the discovery of the bodies of six young girls who are bagged, tagged and shelved in an old underground chamber in the yard of an abandoned Boston insane asylum. Bobby Dodge (returning from Gardner’s Alone) is called to the crime scene. Gardner offers up numerous plausible suspects, suspense and violence, and lots of requited and unrequited love. The book is longer than it needs to be, somewhat repetitive and has a hokey ending with a murderer who appears out of nowhere. But Hide is still an enjoyable thriller and a well-read listen. Simultaneous release with the Bantam hardcover (Reviews, Nov. 27).

      Annabelle Granger spent her childhood on the run without ever knowing why. Years later, when six bodies are discovered on the grounds of an abandoned mental institution, a silver locket identifies one of the victims as . . . Annabelle Granger. A plot as intricately crafted as this one deserves a natural unfolding of events and motives. Unfortunately, in this abridgment there are too many passages of explication. The upside is a superior performance by Maggi-Meg Reed. Reed is expert at revealing every nuance and subtlety of character and plot. She makes the tense moments riveting. A smart director, an excellent story, and a winning performance almost make up for a clunky abridgment. S.J.H. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
