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.

I know I'm not Alone . . .

. . . when I say that this audiobook was a delight. I am a fan of Gardner's and she does not disappoint on this book. I wasn't very impressed with the reader, but definitely like the book. Also, if you haven't read it yet, do read The Killing Hour and The Next Accident, Killing Hour is outstanding five stars!

OUTSTANDING

Keeps twisting and turning right until the end. Shows how there is hardly ever a clear 'black and white' to anything. Hope there is more on the way.

Twist & Turns

This was my first Lisa Gardner novel and it was so exciting! It had so many different twist & turns then tying all together!! The suspense kept me going! I wasn’t crazy about the narrators voice , that was the only struggle. But the book was an awesome read or listen. 😉

Engaging twists

This book exceeded my expectations with its engaging twits throughout and interesting gripping ending. Narrator very good and easy to follow different characters !

Anna Fields in over her head.

This is another hit for Lisa Gardner! With so many twists and turns, she will keep you guessing right up to the end...and beyond.
Anna Fields however, was in over her head. Her portrayal of Bobby Dodge and some of the other male characters were horrible. Bobby Dodge sounded like a dime store thug. He sounded nothing like intelligent and gentle professional that he was supposed to be. The voice Ms. Fields chose for him reminded me of some uneducated petty thief or maybe a member of a mob family. He did not sound at all like a respected professional sniper for the state police.
This was very disappointing. The only thing that made listening worthwhile was the story itself. It was just too good to stop listening based on the poor job by the reader. I hope in the future novels someone better is chosen to represent Lisa Gardner's books. I still recommend this book regardless.

Great story but poor performance!

Interesting characters made unsympathetic by poor voices. Would have been a good book to read.

WOW!

I love Lisa Gardner's books! They keep you listening and thinking all of the way through.

Good One!

This book has you following Bobby Dodge. A common character in many of Gardner's books but who is normally in the shadows of the story. You will find yourself growing pretty attached to Mr. Bobby Dodge and not wanting to leave him in the end.

Totally engrossing story

Lisa Gardener's books are wonderfully addictive from beginning to end. The characters stay in my head long after finishing the book. She is one of my favorites.

Great listen

Really enjoyed the narrator. Awesome story line as well. First dabble into audio books and I'm impressed
