Hide Review



Surprisingly good if a bit improbable at times. Told in two perspectives: First person by Annabelle Granger, a young lady who spent a decade running with her mother and father from an unknown threat and third person from Bobby Dodge, a Boston detective with a troubled past.

Though this is my first Gardner book, I had no problem following the characters most of whom I'm assuming were in the previous book. The author did a great job filling in the backstory of the various players. If anything, she may have gone a little overboard one example being a minor character's dying mother and another's newborn baby. Still, the pacing was good and kept me reading through to the end.

The ending satisfying if not a little tidy.

Hide Overview


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.
