Detective Harriet Foster, Book 1

By: Tracy Clark

Narrated by: Chanté McCormick

From acclaimed author Tracy Clark comes a page-turning mystery featuring hard-boiled Chicago detective Harriet Foster, who’s on the hunt for a serial killer with a deadly affinity for redheads.

When a young red-haired woman is found brutally murdered in downtown Chicago, one detail stands out: the red lipstick encircling her wrists and ankles.

Detective Harriet Foster is on the case, even though she’s still grieving the sudden death of her partner. As a Black woman in a male-dominated department, Foster anticipates a rocky road ahead acclimating to a new team—and building trust with her new partner isn’t coming easily.

After another victim turns up with the same lipstick markings, Foster suspects she’s looking for a serial killer. Through a tip from a psychiatrist, Foster learns about Bodie Morgan: a troubled man with a twisted past and a penchant for pretty young redheads with the bluest eyes. As Foster wades into Morgan’s sinister history, the killer continues their gruesome assault on Chicago’s streets.

In her desperate race to catch the murderer before they strike again, Foster will have to confront the darkest of secrets—including her own.

Critic reviews

“Narrator Chanté McCormick hits a home run in this police procedural.… McCormick has an array of voices she expertly uses to build suspense as Harriet and her partner track down the serial killer. McCormick delivers an entertaining performance filled with clues and red herrings.”—AudioFile Magazine

“A Chicago cop still mourning her late partner transfers to a new precinct just in time to catch a truly creepy case. Solid…work from a writer who knows the dark side of the Windy City.”—Kirkus Reviews

“[Det. Harriet] Foster’s dogged approach to catching killers will resonate with Michael Connelly fans. May the wait for the second Harriet Foster police procedural be brief.”—Publishers Weekly

Good Psychological Thriller!

This book kept me interested from start to finish- excellent execution of the storyline and characters.

Edge of your seat !!!

I enjoyed the book immensely, however the narrator did not have enough tonal variety . Several characters sounded the same …

what a great story!

excellent story! initially it had me guessing who the killer could be. once the story was developing more... the clues had you narrowing it down. good way to get you involved and guessing. well written. likable characters.

Audible listener

I got this on Kindle Unlimited. Never listened Trace Clark. After listening to Hide, I look for more.

Great cop procedural

I enjoy cop stories with a strong FMC and this book delivers. I’m really looking forward to book two. Wasn’t expecting that ending at all, this book kept me guessing.

Very good

Really enjoyed this thriller, good use of red herrings. I would choose this author again

Good Story, meh Narration

I found this book to be an interesting listen. however, the narration of male voices from this narrator were terrible at the beginning and I almost stopped because it was so frustrating to listen to. Once the story really got going and there was some MC developments, it became easier to listen to. Overall, not a bad listen and I’d actually listen to more from this author if available.

Good bedtime audio

I stream while falling asleep. The pace and volume of this audio book was perfect for bedtime.

So many questions left unanswered

I loved the story, but for a book titled “hide” there was zero hiding haha.

We don’t get a lot of questions answered, why was she assigned her first partner? Why did he leave all the time? What happens with all the paper clips? Did she go to the memorial? What happens with the brother? Why did the partner die by suicide? There’s so much left up in the air.

Moved very fast!

The characters just sucked you in and took you on amazing journey. Really enjoyed this first book -diving into the rest of the series now.
