Nowhere to Hide

By: Joan Hall Hovey

Narrated by: Joan Dukore

Raised in an atmosphere of violence and unpredictability, Ellen and Gail Morgan have banded together, survivors of a booze-fertilized battleground, forming a fierce united front against an often cold and uncaring world. When their parents are killed in a car crash, Ellen becomes the mother figure for Gail.

When fifteen years later Gail is brutally raped and murdered in her shabby New York basement apartment, practically on the eve of her big breakthrough as a singer, Ellen is inconsolable. Rage at her younger sister's murder has nearly consumed her. So when her work as a psychologist wins her an appearance on the evening news, Ellen seizes the moment. Staring straight into the camera, she challenges the killer to come out of hiding: "Why don't you come after me? I'll be waiting for you."

Phone calls flood the station, but all leads go nowhere. The police investigation seems doomed to failure. Then it happens: a note, written in red ink, slipped under the windshield wipers of her car, 'YOU'RE IT.' Ellen has stirred the monster in his lair … and the hunter has become the hunted!

Nowhere to hide

A fantastic listen, I did not want to put this listen down, I definitely recommend it’s more than a five star Shauna Joesten

Gripping Suspense with Strong Emotional Core

Nowhere to Hide is a tense, fast-paced thriller centered on Ellen, whose life is upended after her sister’s murder. The story starts a bit slow, but once it picks up, it delivers steady suspense.

What stands out is Ellen’s strong support system, which adds an emotional layer and balances the intensity of the plot. The narration by Joan Dukore was good and complemented the story well. Overall, a compelling listen.

The narrator did not help the book

Sorry, but the narrator used for this as a good audiobook did a disservice to the audiobook. It was hard to understand and at some times the narrator sounded childish. That makes the book seem to be for young adults instead of a psychological thriller. The audiobook is almost 9 hours long. The author has a good story here, however. Will read something else from the author if the audiobook is narrated by someone else.
