I just have to say - WOW. Not trying to give away the plot much, but at around half of this book (my app said I was at 58%) it didn't seem to move quickly. And when it did, it just... BOOM. All the red herrings, all the little things that make us doubt the truth. I really liked the ending, because it did wrap up the loose ends clearly. In my opinion the six mummified corpses aren't the main crime. Comparing Hide with Alone (which I read yesterday), I have to admit that these two books are somewhat similar. To my surprise I find myself liking Annabelle more than Catherine, because with Catherine you always had a little doubt. I like how Bobby always goes with his instincts, even though I do agree with other reviewers that he lets his boner dictate what he does. (spoiler for the endings of Alone and Hide) (view spoiler)[I preferred the ending of Hide over the ending of Alone because Hide's ending wraps up all the loose ends and sort of clears out all the suspects, while Alone's ending... was sad. Hide's ending is a touch more hopeful than that of Alone, even though I do love how Catherine is proven to be a wonderful mother that would do everything for her child. (hide spoiler)]
All in all, I think I would rate this book 9/10, while Alone would garner an 8/10. (I'd better head over to Alone and write a semi-review of it. I definitely did enjoy it a lot though, what a bunch of page turners!) I'm really glad that I picked up Find Her from a library, and I've found that I love me a good psychological thriller. Keep it going, Lisa Gardner!
P.S. (view spoiler)[ Why Annabelle and not Catherine? Why does Bobby choose Annabelle instead of Cat? Personality? Money? WOT (hide spoiler)]

Detective D.D. Warren is back in HIDE, the second book in the series from The Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Lisa Gardner. YOU CAN RUN. YOU CAN HIDE. BUT CAN YOU EVER ESCAPE YOUR PAST? The Independent on Sunday says 'it's a brilliant book, not to be missed under any circumstances'. Love Tess Gerritsen? You'll love this. Annabelle Granger was seven years old when it first happened. She arrived home to find the suitcases packed and her parents desperate to flee their home. Then followed years spent running, from what, or who, she doesn't know, just an endless blur of new faces and new towns. Now, aged 30, Annabelle has finally settled in Boston and is happy with her life. Until the bodies of six girls are found in the grounds of an abandoned mental institute and a newspaper declares her one of the victims. Detectives D. D. Warren and Bobby Dodge are determined to unravel the decades-old riddle and they fear that the discovery signals the return of a notorious serial killer, Mr Bosu - Bobby's worst nightmare. As they get closer to the truth they will all be forced to confront the uncomfortable truths in their pasts; because ultimately, there is no hiding place...
