Alone (Detective D.D. Warren 1): A dark and suspenseful page-turner from the bestselling author of BEFORE SHE DISAPPEARED

Alone is an amazing crime story. It all began with the death of Jimmy Gagnon, son of Judge Gagnon. Jimmy was killed by State trooper Bobby Dodge who with a tactical swat team was trying to defuse a supposedly domestic abuse hostage crisis. But the judge and his wife believe Jimmy's wife, Catharine Gagnon engineered the crisis to get rid of their son, so they want their only grandson taken from her. They start by suing Bobby Dodge and with that unfolded incidences which invokes Catherine's past as a victim of a pedophile half a century back.Embroiled in the mystery of the unfolding drama is the lurking presence of the serial rapist, manipulation by the late Jimmy's parents, the helplessness of the grandson, Catherine's calculating nature and Bobby Dodge's determination to resolve the mysteries behind all the deaths around. Alone, Triple Agent Double Cross, Runaway are gripping until the very end. I like books that thrill me until the last pages.

Did not find it as good as a Karen Rose book

Lisa Gardner can weave masterpieces. I'm amazed at the complexity and the multiple storylines that she creates into this incredible book. Bravo!

This story of detective D D Warren was really well done. There are lots of times when people are alone. It all ties in at the end.

Totally gripping plot! Could not put the book down! Shall look forward to reading more by this author!

Gardner has the most amazing writing style ! You will love it - for sure :) :) :) :) :)

Non era facile tirarle fuori una bella storia, dalle premesse. Sembrava, più un polpettone a tratti anche melenso, ma più che altro un poliziesco di seconda categoria americano, una gonfiatura di una sceneggiatura di un da guardare quando non si ha di meglio da fare. Invece il romanzo si sblocca (presto, per fortuna) e da una storia che sembrava banale se ne esce soddisfatti. Per questo ho dato cinque stelle. Ardito si dimostra anche lo sforzo introspettivo dei personaggi. Brava la scrittrice (P.S. Ho letto un altro romanzo subito dopo e non mi ha deluso per niente, è anzi forse più anche emozionante - Live to tell)
