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.(less)

Short Review for now:

I give this book a HIGH RECOMMEND! Hide by Lisa Gardner is Mystery/Suspense book that has one of the most fascinating set-ups I could imagine. Twists and turns all over the place. It's very unpredictable. There are two story lines: one of a survivor who must piece together her true identity, and the mystery of solving the heinous murder of 6 girls. Their bodies nearly mumified and found hidden at a scary, old abandoned mental institution-- in a make shift dungeon. It's a he...more

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.

Hij vertelt je dat je naar je kamer moet gaan en daar twee dingen moet uitzoeken, die je mee mag nemen. Veel tijd heb je daar niet voor. Als je je keuze hebt gemaakt vertrek je met je ouders naar een andere stad en krijgt daar een nieuwe naam. En je tast over het waarom volledig in het duister. Het overkwam de zevenjarige Annabelle Granger.

Annabelle Granger belandt na nog een aantal raadselachtige verhuizingen uiteindelijk in Boston. Haar moeder is door een overdosis aan medicijnen en alcohol overleden en haar vader kwam om het leven na door een taxi te zijn overreden. Annabelle, die nu Tanya Nelson heet woont in een apartement en maakt daar gordijnen op bestelling en daarnaast werkt zij als barista in een vestiging van Starbucks. Dan leest zij op een ochtend in de krant dat zij dood is. Zij is dan 32 jaar.

Op het terrein van een voormalige psychiatrische inrichting in Bosten ontdekt de politie in een ondergrondse ruimte de overblijfselen van zes jonge meisjes. Inspecteur D.D. Warren en rechercheur Bobby Dodge worden belast met het onderzoek. Is hier een zieke geest, een voormalige patient van de inrichting actief geweest of is er iets anders aan de hand? De zaak wordt nog ingewikkelder als de doodverklaarde Annabelle Granger zich bij de politie meldt.

Doodverklaard is een misdaadroman van de Amerikaanse misdaadauteur Lisa Gardner. Het is het tweede boek uit een serie van tot nu toe 7 boeken over inspecteur D.D. Warren. Het boek is in 2007 in de Verenigde Staten verschenen en in 2012 vertaald en uitgebracht in Nederland.

Het verhaal zit goed in elkaar en heeft veel vaart. De schrijfstijl van Lisa Gardner is plezierig en zij weet een atmosfeer te creeeren die maakt dat je wilt blijven lezen. De personages worden goed uitgewerkt. Het verhaal kent een aantal totaal onverwachte plotwendingen en dat maakt de afloop onvoorspelbaar. In de aanloop van het verhaal en de eerste uitwerking ontbreekt er spanning maar dat wordt ruimschootst gecompenseerd door een pakkende en verrassende ontknoping.

Lisa Gardner heeft met Doodverklaard een prima misdaadroman afgeleverd. Een boek waarin Annabelle Granger vastbesloten is om met of zonder hulp van de politie uit te zoeken waarom haar vader paranoide was en waarin de lezer het nodige puzzelwerk te verrichten krijgt naarmate er meer stukjes van de waarheid aan de oppervlakte komen.

Taut and Complex Suspense Thriller
Twenty-five years ago, seven year old Annabelle Granger came home from school to find five suitcases packed and her parents urging her to grab just two things to take with her as they fled from their home and the life that they knew. For years they shuffled around the country, leaving at a moments notice, keeping their heads down and changing identity with each location. Annabelle...though she didn't go by that name anymore...never new why. First, she lost her mother to the combination of booze and pills, the constant flight too much for her. Then, older and wiser, Annabelle and her father return to the city of Boston, the same city they'd fled from so many years ago. Her father died not long after, a victim of a hit and run. For a decade following that, Annabelle, known as Tanya now, has worked and lived in the city of her childhood. Then one day she read a newspaper and saw the news. Her body had been found. Annabelle Granger was dead, along with five other young girls found in a pit of darkness and horror far deeper and more malignant than the earthen tomb itself. Maybe now, after all these years, Annabelle can find out why. Why had she been forced all her life to hide?

Lisa Gardner has penned an incredibly complex, twisted, and gripping suspense novel in Hide, pairing former sniper turned state detective Bobby Dodge together with ex-lover and now Boston PD Seargent D.D. Warren to solve a case with a myriad more questions than answers. A veritable rabbit warren of paths lead to clues and connections that only a true mastermind of suspense could ever dream up, and I was utterly compelled by the intensity and vitality of the story and characters. With impeccable pacing, the plot twists tighter and tighter as Annabelle goes to the police to both get answers and give them, and Bobby finds himself drawn to the reclusive woman with such stark strength in her eyes, but Annabelle's emergence from a lifetime of shadows sparks a sick and twisted mind to focus on her yet again. Apparently not even a lifetime can stop evil when it's intent enough.

I loved this book. It was creepy and dark and the threat was carefully controlled and dished out by the author with a sparing intensity that was chilling. I, much like Annabelle, was totally committed to finding out why her father had been so out-of-his-mind paranoid, and the revelations were mind boggling as the truth slowly comes to light. Kudos to Gardner for her wicked, twisted psyche and her deft ability to translate that into imaginative works of macabre entertainment.

My only - small - complaints were that I had to kind of sit on my suspension of disbelief and force it to behave when it came to how much access Annabelle was given to the case. I found that a little implausible, but once I beat that suspension of disbelief into submission, I just enjoyed the ride. I also thought the final conflict was a little too convenient and a bit too many of the wild warren paths led to the same den, so to speak. The only thing that I really wish had been different, though, was I wish that the romance between Bobby and Annabelle had been given a bit more room to breathe, because I enjoyed their attraction. It was extremely subtle in developing, and have to admit, Bobby acted very professionally overall, but I read this under the impression that it was a romantic suspense novel, and that's not exactly true. I consider this a suspense thriller with a thread of romance in it. A tiny thread.

Overall though, this was an eminently enjoyable read that kept me wildly flipping pages well into the night until I had all the answers. Very well done. It's been quite some time since I've read a Lisa Gardner book, but after Hide I don't think I'll be staying away nearly so long ever again.

New state police detective Bobby Dodge is called in by lead investigator Boston PD Sgt. D.D. Warren to help with a horrific case of a hole found by some boys on the grounds of a former mental institution. The two have a history of dating but also a breakup so Bobby is not thrilled to be called in and for his own boss to loan him out. Bobby had been a police sniper until he shot and killed a man who held his wife and son at gunpoint. After this event, he became close friends with the woman Catherine Gagnon.

Catherine, at age 12, had been kidnapped and kept in a similar hole set up as a hidey-hole where she spent a month being half starved, dehydrated, and raped daily until some hunters heard her cries one day and helped her. She later was stalked by the man who had held her prisoner and she killed him.

For DD and Bobby, this is deja vu only worse. In this hole which had been dug out with a backhoe are 6 clear seal plastic bags with girls-young girls- who had been kidnapped, raped, murdered, bagged, and labeled. The first bag has a 7 year old girl with a necklace that says Annabelle Granger.

The next day, they are stunned when the real and very much alive Annabelle Granger (living under the alias Tanya Nelson) shows up. Her father, she explains, was an MIT math professor and her mom a housewife when 7 year old Boston resident Annabelle started receiving small boxes wrapped in the newspaper comics (Peanuts) started being left at their door. Her dad had to call in about a peeping Tom at her window and after police found her window had almost been broken into, it was discovered that someone had broken into the attic of the elderly widow next door and had been living up there and spying on the house.

As Annabelle explains it, her dad immediately had her mom pack 5 suitcases and let Annabelle bring only two personal items (her stuffed toy and her pink blankie). They went to Florida and he got a job as a taxi driver and this was the beginning of a lifetime of moving. Every 18-24 months, they changed names and moved to a new city. Her mother finally overdosed on pills and alcohol and she found her dead. In the end, Annabelle and her dad returned to live in Boston as their final home.

Annabelle's father died in an accident when he was run over by a taxi driver and his face was destroyed so Annabelle had to identify him by the vial of her mother's ashes he (and Annabelle) wore.

DD is suspicious right away. Bobby is suspicious AND attracted and while Annabelle trusts no one (her dad taught her well) , she is strongly attracted to Bobby. Living along with her Australian Shepherd Bella, she has 5 locks on the door and has no friends or relationships with anyone.

This story has as many twists and turns as a mountain road. As more info is learned, it makes the reader suspect everyone at some point. As it turns out, the 7 year old girl with Annabelle's necklace was her childhood best friend Dori. Annabelle's dad had told her to get rid of the necklace and she asked little Dori to keep it for her. Two weeks after they left, Dori is kidnapped and is one of the 6 bodies in hole.

It is fascinating to watch the story and the clues unfold. Did one of the mental patients at the mental hospital do it? Some had been very violent and one had drugged the staff so he could escape when he wanted. Was it a former staff member? Or maybe the rich patient with a 3.5 million trust fund who was put in the mental hospital when he (who had been molested by an au pair at age 12) was caught at 20 by his parents raping his 14 year old sister? Was it the minister who DD and Bobby found there wandering the grounds and who later showed up in Boston at Annabelle's home? Was it the UPS driver or maybe Dori's father. One suspect was Annabelle's own dad especially when they can't find any record of a Russell Granger from MIT nor any driver's license or social security card for him, his wife or even Annabelle. Was Catherine, the woman who looks like she could be Annabelle's older sister involved? Everyone is shocked to learn that he showed up at Catherine's bedside when she was 12 and rescued from her own ordeal. He was pretending to be an FBI agent and showed her a charcoal drawing he had made of a man who looked like himself, demanding she say that it was the man who abducted, imprisoned, and raped her.

At one point, there is a note left on DD's car to return the necklace. Who wrote it? Why is she being targeted? After you see what happens in the woods, you will wonder too.

I like the way Lisa Gardner gives you so many suspects and writes an emotionally deep story. I felt so much for Annabelle, for Dori, for Dori's parents, and later for Annabelle's parents. There is gripping emotion so this is not just a mystery.

Actually, I don't know why this is labelled a Detective D.D. Warren story since we learn almost nothing about her and she is far from sympathetic. This is really Annabelle Granger's story as well as Bobby Dodge's story. Both are well worth reading about.(less)
