Hide (Detective D. D. Warren, #2)

by Lisa Gardner

'I can't afford to come back from the dead.' Annabelle has had many names in her life - Sally, Cindy, Lucille. Though her father moved her from city to city from the age of ten, changing names, houses, careers and histories every few months, Annabelle never knew what they were running from. Now in her thirties, with both parents dead, she's settled in Boston. But old habits die hard and she still looks over her shoulder when she leaves her apartment, still blends in with the crowd on the subway. Then at the Boston State Mental Hospital a multiple grave is discovered. Six young girls left to die in an underground chamber decades ago, while their captor looked on. When her original name appears in the paper, wrongly identifying her as one of the dead girls, Annabelle finally knows. This was the work of the monster her father fled from. But the killer is still on the loose. And he's looked for her for a very long time. Bobby Dodge has been haunted by the Catherine Gagnon case for years. It nearly cost him his job and his sanity. As a child, Catherine was also held prisoner underground, like the victims in this latest case.
But Catherine's captor was in prison when these girls were taken. Yet the similarities are too numerous to be just coincidence...

I really liked this. Gardner does a great job of throwing you twists and turns and red herrings. Just when you think you’re getting it figured out, a new detail emerges that changes everything. This was so suspenseful that it had me listening on my morning *and* afternoon commutes — I’m usually an afternoon listener only. I’ve liked the Bobby Dodge books a lot more than Gardner’s Quincy/Rainie series — hopefully she’ll write a few more.
