Starred Review. In bestseller Gardner's first-rate follow-up to Alone (2005), Bobby Dodge, once a sniper for the Massachusetts State Police and now a police detective, gets called to a horrific crime scene in the middle of the night by fellow detective and ex-lover D.D. Warren. An underground chamber has been discovered on the property of a former Boston mental hospital containing six small naked mummified female bodies in clear garbage bags. A silver locket with one of the corpses, which may be decades old, bears the name Annabelle Granger. Later, a woman shows up at the Boston Homicide offices claiming to be Annabelle Granger. Her resemblance to Catherine Gagnon (whose life Bobby saved in Alone) helps stoke a romance between her and Bobby both subtle and sizzling. The suspense builds as the police uncover links between patients at the hospital and long-ago criminal activities. Through expert use of red herrings, Gardner takes the reader on a nail-biting ride to the thrilling climax. (Feb.)

Lisa Gardner has created an unusual and effective thriller about Annabelle Granger--a young woman whose childhood life involved running from place to place, hiding from she's-never-known-what--and a detective whose worst case is reopened when six small mummified female bodies turn up in an underground crypt, one of them wearing a locket that once belonged to Annabelle. Maggi-Meg Reed gives a fresh, intelligent, and attentive performance that makes the listener feel that the story is happening as she speaks. Gardner delivers believable characters in harrowing circumstances, and Reed matches deft plotting with a sympathy and skill that create nerve-pinging tension over people you care about. This is a superlative performance of a thoroughly absorbing entertainment. B.G.
