Hide and Seek – A Detective Al Harris Cold Case


 What Would You Do If The Stalker You Thought Had Disappeared Was Suddenly Back?
Fifteen years ago Mary Anne Cromway was stalked by a violent psychopath that police were never able to identify. As the stalker became more obsessive and threatening, her boyfriend Bobby went missing. The town assumed that troublemaking Bobby had been playing a trick and had decided to run away when he got in too deep—or that Mary Anne was behind all of it herself. They were especially suspicious when the stalker disappeared right after Bobby did.
Fifteen years later, Mary Anne receives another note from her stalker. She knew exactly who to go to for help.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A captivating detective read engrossing main character and the story has an unexpected twist." - Roger & Jean Fauble."This is a sit in your seat and don't move book. The characters are realistic; the action is nonstop. How a local police officer tries to save a gal from a stalker keeps your attention from beginning to end." - Sharon N."This short story is a look into cold case work by an old grouch of a cop who really doesn't want to work at all. It's a well written story with good characters also sad but with the reality of human frailty." - Toots Sullivan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Riveting Short Story Intro To Series
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2021
Verified Purchase
When she was 17, Mary Anne Cromway gained a stalker. Police never identified the culprit. The stalker escalated quickly ... from notes and little gifts ... to a dead cat ... to threats to her and her family. Her boyfriend, Bobby, went missing , but police suspected that he had been the one responsible ... or that he had just taken off. The stalker seemed to disappear at the same time.

It's now 15 years later and the notes from the stalker has started again.

Turning to Detective Harris, who only works cold crimes, she wants him to investigate ... she is sure that this time the stalker is coming to kill her.

This novella of 69 pages is quite riveting. It's a page-turner with plenty of twists and turns leading to a surprising conclusion. Terrific short story intro to series.

For a series first episode this was a good read. While I thought the writing was a bit simplistic the story was well crafted and the characters were nuanced so as to be believable and likeable. The plot was logical and progressed well and I'm already looking forward to reading the second installment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining writing style
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2018

This short story surprised me. While the plot was a slightly twisted version of an age old premise, and the characters needed a bit more fleshing out, the author has an easy-reading style of writing that flows and is entertaining. Since the story was a mystery, I kept trying to figure out who might be behind it all. Didn't like that the culprit was brought in so late in the story, but hey, that's just me. I was looking for the twist that wasn't there.

I enjoyed the story but wish more of the details had been explained like the mode of communication in various locations. So many things were just stated without an explanation. But it was a good short story.

I never even heard of this author until a few days ago and since the story was only 68 pages long I figured what the heck, it's a $.99 read. My gain! A captivating detective read engrossing main character and the story has an unexpected twist.

It just wasn't for me- I truly like the tales I read to have some meat to them and this was way to short to have much depth- I noticed that that there are several more of these books- I say put them together in one or two decent sized books- Some typos and editing issues-

I enjoyed this book. A light read with a crazy psychopath and a old or cold case. So possible I began to wonder how many cold cases actually exist. Looking forward to Rob Costa’s next book.

This is my first experience with this author and the book has exceeded my expectations. Strong story line. Good and believable characters. Suspense, mystery, a tint of romance, and some thrills and chills. I recommend this book for ages 16 and up. You will not be sorry.
