I’m a big fan of mysteries and suspense, but as much as I appreciate the “whodunit” aspects of both, if the main character doesn’t resonate with me, I’m likely to put the book down. Lisa Gardner’s protagonist in this story, Annabelle Granger, does resonate. She’s vulnerable from attack -- and has been for most of her life -- yet has no idea who or what her attacker might be. Over the years she learned how to defend herself against that kind of unknown, but in the process had...more

No-one - it caught my eye on the bestseller's rack. recommends it for: Anyone who enjoys a great crime/mystery/suspence novel; hit TV show "CSI" fans.
This book was the first book by Lisa Gardner I read. I picked it up when I was on holiday in London, England. After reading I realized I was hooked - I have to have ALL of Gardner's books! Her details are fascinating and acurate, her characters will grab ahold of your heart and never let go. I am now working on getting copies of her books by the British publisher Orion so I have the entire matching set - sort of a sentimental reminder of the...more This book was the first book by Lisa Gardner I ...more

I liked this book a lot. It's about a 30 year old kidnapping/murder that comes to light when a mass grave is found. Each of the vicitms was buried with some "token" of theirs, which of course is reported on the news. However, one of the tokens (a locket) belongs to someone who is not dead - turned out she gave it to her best friend when they were 7 and the child was then kidnapped and murdered. Adding to the twist is that the girl who used to own the locket has been living on the run w...more

An underground burial site is found with the bodies of victims who were missing. This is the story of one who got away. When Annabelle was threatened, her father got new id's and moved the family. Anytime there was an Amber alert, her father changed their id's and moved the family again. The girl grew up not knowing who she was or what it was all about. When the grave was found, things started to happen until cases were solved and Annabelle found out what had happened so many years ago.

This was one of my "grocery store/drug store" books. Drugstore books can be defined as quick reads that are mostly plot driven and are generally on the mass market paperback bestseller list. These are also sometimes referred to as "pulp fiction." Of course, I wouldn't generally categorize these books as being high literature (with the occasional exception of a Stephen King book, who I do sometimes consider literature. Having said all that, this book was suspenseful, fast-...more

This is a police storyline- suspenseful mystery genre. Annabelle Granger has grown up surrounded by unusual circumstances, without really knowing much about why her life is the way it is. Her father dies suddenly without tying it all together for her. As a result, the mysteries surrounding her childhood become intertwined with the mystery of the discovery of an underground grave.

Good detective thriller. It takes place in Boston, so it is fun to read about the characters walking down streets and going to places I have also been.

This book is dark, since it a serial killer mystery yet kept me engaged and guessing.

Her books are amazing - this one is really interesting. She does seem to consistently have some sorts of child abduction/abuse themes in her novels - hard to digest if you are a parent, but I can't put her books down.

Read in April, 2007
This was my first Lisa Gardner book and it was well written with a tense, gripping plot. However, once she introduced a deus ex machina (a person or thing that is introduced suddenly and unexpectedly and provides a contrived solution to an apparently insoluble difficulty) to the plot in the form of a long, lost never-before-mentioned relative, I grew dismayed and the novel lost all credibility for me. I felt it was a cheap way out and the ending was laughable, with the strong, well-trained her...more

HIDE is a book you won't want to put down. It's fast packed action and suspense will keep you on the edge of your seat and have you guessing all the way to the end. Very intense, very real characters and very real writing.
