About This Audiobook
Alone introduces Massachusetts State Trooper Bobby Dodge in a dramatic opening where a split-second sniper decision leaves a man dead and Bobby's life permanently altered. The woman he was trying to protect, Catherine Rose Gagnon, carries her own history of violence and secrets that begin to pull Bobby into something far larger and darker than the initial shooting suggested.
Anna Fields narrates the first D.D. Warren-adjacent novel with a controlled tension that suits Gardner's thriller mechanics. Fields gives Catherine the layered quality of a character who may be a victim or something more complicated, and the novel's structure, which withholds crucial information across multiple storylines, benefits from narration that treats the ambiguity with respect rather than resolution.
