One woman has been hiding since age 7, only to have 'her' body discovered in an underground chamber, along with 5 other girls! Now what? Hide by Lisa Gardner is a Bobby Dodge detective mystery, a real page-turning thriller, with a subtle romance to boot. An horrific underground chamber is discovered on the grounds of a former mental hospital. Inside are six small mummified bodies neatly wrapped in clear plastic bags, one bearing a locket with a name claimed by a woman whose family fled the area many years ago for reasons she never understood. I have read several of Lisa Gardner's books. And while she is not my favorite suspense writer, she can and does write a still very entertaining book. This story is about a girl who grows up moving from town to town always taking on a new identity, without ever knowing why. There are many twists and turns to keep you guessing. A satisfying read! Great page-turner. Vaguely remembered the characters from previous books, struggled remembering the previous storyline - although it wasn't crucial to understanding this book. Just would have flowed better. 0.041 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553588087, Mass Market Paperback)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.
