My, oh my! Lisa Gardner had me scratching my head time and again as I read Hide, the second in her D.D. Warren mystery thriller series. Where do I start? Do I start with the six mummified corpses discovered in an underground hideaway on the grounds of the abandoned Mattapan State Hospital for the mentally ill? Do I start with Annabelle, the girl whose necklace is around the neck of one of the unfortunate victims? “Annabelle,” now an adult, is very much alive. Whose body wears the necklace? Who k...
This is the second book in the Detective D.D. Warren series, and it is also the second time that I have read this author.Detective Bobby Dodge is back! I am still confused as to why this series is not named the "Detective Bobby Dodge" series, since his role is more prominent in both this novel and its predecessor, Alone, which I read back in February.When six bodies are discovered in an underground chamber, Bobby Dodge's first thought is that the crime is reminiscent of Catherine Gagnon's case w...
Annabelle Granger’s life changed when she was seven years old. Her father, a professor of mathematics at MIT, arrived home one night, quickly packed some bags, and told her and her mother that they were leaving Boston. To seven-year-old Annabelle, it was exciting: they were running away from home.They never stopped running after that night.Every new town was a new name and a potential new threat. The problem was that Annabelle never knew what that threat was. Her father never told her what they
I want to be friends with Lisa Gardner in the real world, I want to know what’s it’s like to be such a storyteller, it would loooove to know what makes her tick! This is another page turning machine, I’ve read that this is a few of my friend’s favourite Lisa Gardner book, and I can see why. Here we meet the really lovely Annabelle (or is she?) who has spent her entire life on the run, taught by her expert father, to be always ready to leave, life's contents in a handful of bags. Always ready to
Book Blog | BookstagramCan someone please tell me why this isn't filed under The Bobby Dodge series? Serious question. I mean, I like Det. Dodge enough, but I really like Det. D.D. Warren - not in a sexual way, but almost. I went into this series looking for a badass female lead. Instead the star, for both this book and the last, is the penis who can't stop sleeping with the victims. Over it. D.D. seems like the type of woman who would wear thigh-high leather boots, step in your ass crack with t...
Yesssss!! Man this book was GOOD! I was already enjoying this series (this is #2) but now I’m psyched! I couldn’t put it down! The characters, the “crimes..” So good! My only slight concern is that I’m kinda pretty much madly in love with Bobby Dodge- so when this “DD Warren series” moves on to leave him in the dust, Idk how I’m gonna feel about that!😂 But after this, I have faith! Totally recommend for procedural/psychological thriller readers.. (Unless of course I’m the only 1 arriving this la...
WARNING: not a review, more a rant.I think those "tall stiletto boots" and "wild mass of blonde curls" on top of the slim-fitting jeans and tight-fitting shirt was just too much for me. I wanted to gag. I was pulled out of the story and wondered, momentarily, whether the author was a man using a female pseudonym. I paused my audio to google whether real-life cops in Boston (or anywhere) wore stiletto heels to work and actually found some interesting articles but all from Europe - where stiletto
Lisa Gardner is very hit-and-miss with me as far as her plots go. Her books are generally well-written, but all the good writing in the world can't make up for bad characterization and poorly structured plot. What really sticks out to me with this novel was the ill-planned reveal of the criminal's identity.I was ready to go along with the switches from first to third person, because while I usually find it annoying, I get that some authors find it a useful plot device, but in this case it just f...
I can’t get enough of Bobby Dodge!! Annabelle is also growing on me. This second in the D. D. Warren Series did not disappoint. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next one!
A continuation of ALONE, the first of the D.D.Warren series. I found HIDE also kept my attention from start to finish! Looking forward to the next book in this series.
4.25 edge of my seat starsThis D.D. Warren series is just getting better and better! It was great to read book #2 just a few weeks after book #1. All the details were still fresh in my mind.One of my favorite characters is Massachusetts state trooper, now Detective Bobby Dodge. We first meet him in book #1 and he’s back working with D.D. in this one. There are some similarities to the case in book #1, so it makes sense that D.D. draws him into her investigation.This one has so many red herrings
Read: November 2017Rating: 4.5/5 starsThe second novel in the Detective DD Warren series brings us back into the world of Bobby Dodge. He is now a homicide detective working for Warren who has been promoted. They have to investigate the deaths of six young girls, whose bodies have been found in an underground chamber on the site of a formal mental hospital.There are lots of crossovers here with the events of the previous book Alone which means that I wouldn't recommend that anyone read this book...
Annabelle Granger(32) sees a Boston Herald newspaper with “6 young girls, found dead & buried for years in a abandoned mental hospital”. One body has a “locket” on her neck engraved with “Annabelle Granger”. She goes to Boston Police (D.D. Warren) claims she is “Annabelle Granger” & gave it to the young friend buried before moving. Her father chased city-to-city for 25 years & her parents are dead. After running 25 years, D.D.Warren doubts she’s really the buried Annabelle & alive. They even...
This is my second Lisa Gardner book and the second in this D. D. Warren series. I'm impressed with Gardner's ability to write complex police procedurals and keep my interest. D. D. Warren is still not the most prominent character in the book (she wasn't in the first book of this series either), although she has a more memorable role in this one. My favorite character was Bobby Dodge - as in the first book. He seems like a great guy and an excellent investigator. This story centers around Annabel...
Detective D. D. Warren places a pre-dawn cryptic call to now Massachusetts State Police Detective Bobby Dodge, demanding that he come to a crime scene without explanation or details. Once he arrives, Bobby understands her reason for calling him to the scene where the Boston Police Department clearly has jurisdiction. They’ve discovered an underground crypt on the grounds of an abandoned mental hospital. Inside are the remains of six bodies with one bearing a necklace engraved “Annabelle Granger....
I had hoped that some of the awkwardness with the first book in this series was a matter of it being the first book, but this second book is perhaps even more awkward and it stands out all the more since the author really should know better by now. Granted, I don't know anything about crime scenes and being a cop and whatnot, but the choices that these officers make during their investigation strike me as so unrealistic. I understand that the plot needs to flow and all, and that the author is bo...
3 starsThis is book number two in a Lisa Gardner series called Detective D.D. Warren. This is the first book that Detective Warren is really front and center. In the first book, Alone, she was introduced, but almost as a side line character. Now she is taking the reigns. Along with her side kick, Bobby Dodge, Warren investigates a pit on the grounds of an old insane asylum. In an underground chamber the discovery of six mummified corpses is made. This brings back to mind an old case, especially
I really enjoy D.D. Warren books and this is the best one in the series. I've read both ones before and ones after this one but this is the best one I've read. I would recommend reading the previous D.D Warren book before this one, it's named "Alone". The stories are tangentially connected and reading Alone first will add depth and dimension to this book. Once again Warren and Dodge work together and since they bring out the best and worst in each other, the ride is extra fun. I had real trouble...
Hide (Detective D.D. Warren #2) by Lisa Gardner (Author), Maggie-Meg Reed (Narrator)Once again, Bobby Dodge, now a detective, gets to star in the D.D. Warren's series. It's two years after the first book in the series and a bunker of mummified bodies is found. These bodies could be connected to a case that almost destroyed Bobby's career two years ago. One of the bodies is thought to be that of young Annabelle Granger but that person is very much alive. Thirty two year old Annabelle has been on...
This is a super twisty suspense novel. The ending in particular really ratchets up the tension and the surprises. In this second in the D.D. Warren series, D.D., who has been promoted from detective to sergeant, turns to her ex-lover that she knew from the Boston P.D., Bobby Warren, because of the similarities of another case that happened back in 1980. Their involvement with that case was much more recent, when the victim of that crime, Catherine, resurfaced. When Catherine was just 12, she wa...
