Alone

By: Lisa Gardner

Narrated by: Anna Fields

“Like all the best suspense novels, Alone will leave you shaken. . . . You can't wait to see what happens next.”—People

Who can you turn to when you’re at your most vulnerable?

State Trooper Bobby Dodge watches a tense hostage standoff through the scope of his sniper rifle. Dodge has only one second to react, or a woman and her child may die.

Where can you hide when this killer comes?

The woman at the other end of Bobby Dodge’s rifle isn’t only in trouble—she is trouble. Cool, beautiful, and dangerously sexy, Catherine Rose Gagnon’s life will change in an instant of violence.

It’s the most terrifying place to be. . . .

When Bobby pulls the trigger, someone will die. And then no one will be above suspicion, no one beyond harm. And no one will see death coming until it has them cornered, helpless, and alone.

Critic reviews

“Three-dimensional characters fill out a riveting story that is like a juicy steak: slow broiled to perfection. . . . Highly recommended.”—Library Journal

“Intricate and suspenseful, Alone keeps you on the edge of your seat.”—Los Angeles Times

“Like all the best suspense novels, Alone will leave you shaken. . . . You can't wait to see what happens next.”—People

“A thrill-packed roller-coaster ride.”—Boston Globe

Great story, annoying characterizations.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

No, the voice actor did such a horrible job personifying characters that I couldn't wait for the recording to be over. I contemplated just reading it, but since I had already purchased the audio book, I just kept going with it.

What did you like best about this story?

The story was great and is very necessary to read the follow up "HIDE." Great plot twists.

How could the performance have been better?

The performer made Bobby Dodge sound like 65 year old moron from South Boston. I understand that she was trying to lay on the Boston accent thick, but it came along with making him sound like a big dumb oaf throughout, and having read other Lisa Gardner books, I know that this was not the intention for Bobby Dodge. She also made D.D. sound much too prissy compared to every other audiobook performer I have heard. I am so glad that they changed performers in the other books.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes

Great!

I like this author. Her books are wonderful to listen to.

Narrator ruined this book for me

I've listened to a lot of audiobooks...and this narrator is terrible!! I am a big fan of Lisa Gardner but not of this audiobook :(

Great listen

Any additional comments?

My first listen to Lisa Gardner..I hope the rest of the series is as good.. Love the excitement of the story, the accents for the characters.. Great book

4* for Alone

I really enjoyed Alone. I have read 3 other Lisa Gardner books and I plan on reading more! It's a good read!
