Fantastic addition to the series

This is a great story and series that features a strong willed female detective and the story is very well written and the narrator really brings the story alive

A long time coming.

Lacey finds a lost little girl who they find out is tied to a infamous cold case. This leaves Lacey's family in danger while they try to navigate the investigation and track down the kidnappers. Lacey finds she has a hard time balancing her home life/work life and that leads to self-reflection. This mystery is full of plot twist and had me rooting for Lacey! I can't wait to see what happens next. The narrators did a great job bringing the characters to life and keeping me engaged. I'd suggest starting with book 1 in this series so you can appreciate how things unfold more fully.

I'm enjoying the series

An unknown girl... explosive, terrible secrets

Received as an audio review copy from Story Origin, is this an honest review. Beautifully narrated by Cass Medcalf and Nathan Agin, Hide Her is and amazing complex and emotionally driven story as what was suppose to be a fun camping trip turns into harrowing mystery when officer Lacey James and her discover a little girl alone on the road. Who she is and why she's out in the middle of nowhere leads the police and the residents of Sweet Home into a maddeningly series of clues and nearly deadly encounters with men with dark intentions for the girl named Joy. The haunting truth of the girl's appearance leads the police to finally find the answers to a young women that vanished several years prior. Filled with heart pounding twists to keep you on edge, Hide Her lives up to the extraordinary high standards the author Chris Patchell sets for her stories. Most definitely highly recommended.

One of my favorite mystery/suspense series!

This is one of my favorite mystery/suspense series. I am always excited to see a new one come out. This is so well written I can never figure out who the bad person is. Also the characters are easy to identify with and admire. In here we catch up with Lacey and find out more about what is going on in her life with Caleb. Then the “sweet”(said in high voice) mystery begins as she find a young girl walking out of the woods.

I really liked everything that was done to help the child. The lady they brought in to work with her was so impressive to me. I could see what the child was saying with no words. Very well done.

I listened to this on audio. Cassandra Medcalf and Nathan Agin are the narrators. Usually we only have Ms Medcalf for the whole story. Mr Agin was added this time for the male voices. In my opinion he is a welcome addition.

I eagerly look forward to more from this author and this series!
Well Done!

Riveting

Riveting, suspenseful, action packed, thrilling and emotional. Absolutely wonderful performances by the narrators bringing life to an excellent story. The characters were easy to enjoy and follow. This series has been very interesting, books 3 and 4 are my favorites. Absolutely recommend this book!

Stuck on this series!

Can’t wait for the next Lacy James adventure. Enjoyed the narration change to a male when the story is described from his perspective.

Great story! Full of emotions!

Hide Her is one of Chris Patchell's best books yet in this series! Yes, you must read the other books in the series to understand Hide Her. Do NOT read anymore of my review if you missed ANY of those books. While Officer James is looking for the family of a lost and scared little girl, she's reeling from the deceit of her husband Caleb. She's also off her game due to being 11 weeks pregnant by her cheating husband. As you can see, there's a lot going on here. This isn't an easy case. People pop out of the work-works here and you've got to keep your eyes open or you'll miss it!

The narration by Cassandra Medcalf and Nathan Agin was fabulous! Nathan played a few parts if I recall correctly. He's a solid male narrator with a strong deep voice. He works exceptionally well as a bad guy with that deep voice. It almost comes off sinister... I like it! Then we have Cassandra, she place Lacey James like they were meant to be. She's a strong heroine but she also has emotions and heart under that tough exterior. I could feel the emotions in Officer James throughout the story. These two narrators really brought the story together and made it a compulsive listen.

#AudiobookObsession

A perfect thriller. I couldn't start listening!

The Lacey James series just keeps getting better, and this fourth book is the best one yet, in my opinion. The plot was nail-biting and thrilling. It was so satisfying to continue Officer Lacey’s story. The author Chris Patchell writes so well that I feel like I know Lacey as well as I know myself. The narrator Cassandra Metcalf does such a perfect job bringing to life this small-town policewoman who is great at her job while taking care of her two kids. Lacey’s lovable work partner Eli also had a few memorable chapters from his perspective, narrated by the very talented Nathan Agin. Nathan Agin also narrates a couple of chapters from the perspective of a male perpetrator of a crime.

I hope there are many more books in this series, which is tied with one other for my favorite mystery series. I highly recommend this to everyone who likes realistic contemporary mysteries with female detectives.
