Book Description
It should have been an ideal week during a perfect summer in "America's First Resort." But just hours before the KEY News crew arrives for their broadcasts from Newport, Rhode Island, the skeleton of a socialite who disappeared fourteen years ago is found in a dank tunnel beneath a famous mansion.
It doesn't end there. Next, the socialite's daughter is found at the bottom of the Forty Steps that lead from the legendary Cliff Walk to the ocean. And soon, the town is talking about the scandal and a killer whose work may be only beginning.
When one of the KEY News interns is killed in a suspicious car accident and another disappears, this year's crop of fledgling journalists are targets, including Grace Callahan, not so young at thirty-two, who came to the City-by-the-Sea determined to launch a future in television news. She and the other KEY interns have been told that at the end of the summer one of them will be offered a full-time position. Grace, a single mother fighting for custody of her preteen daughter, needs the job more than any of the other interns. As their number dwindles one by one, Grace must face the real danger that lurks in an otherwise idyllic town. But can she uncover a murderer who does not want the secrets buried beneath the city's fabled mansions to come to light?
From Publishers Weekly
This plodding seventh thriller in Clark's popular KEY News series is distinguished chiefly by the author's insider perspective on major network TV. Grace Callahan, 32-year-old divorced single mom, is the oldest (and by far the neediest) of four TV interns competing for a permanent spot on the crew of KEY to America, a major network news show, when the team departs to do a weeklong remote broadcast from historic Newport, R.I. Forced to leave her 11-year-old daughter, Lucy, in the care of her philandering ex-husband and his Barbie doll wife (who are suing for full custody), Grace develops a crush on her producer, B.J. D'Elia, and feels drably inferior to fellow intern Joss Vickers, super-chic daughter of a wealthy Newport family. The story is kicked into motion by the discovery of the skeleton of a socialite who disappeared 14 years before in an old Underground Railroad tunnel ("a human skull and bones, swaddled in yards of gold lamé"), and the number of suspects and clues (smelly red herrings) rapidly proliferate to include a sleazy local scrimshander, a tattoo artist and a clambake master—all this before Grace's fellow interns begin to fall victim to the paranoid murderer. Even Clark's most faithful fans will be fatigued by the repetitive soap opera plot, which wears on and on until virtually everyone is suspect.
From AudioFile
Sarah Hamilton demonstrates her versatile reading style and ear for accents in this puzzling mystery, taking place in tony Newport, Rhode Island. Her dramatic overtones complement the plot as its intensity builds. Single-mom Grace Callahan is one of four interns at KEY-TV who are competing to obtain the plum position of assistant producer for the "KEY to America" show. Broadcasting from Newport, Grace is closing in on a murderer and scandal that will rock the idyllic community. Hamilton's resonant, unhurried voice moves in perfect accord with the unpredictable plot twists and fast pace as the other interns start disappearing. Hamilton expertly handles the wide range of characters and smart dialogue. S.C.A.

我本来是因为一个偶然的机会才接触到《逃遁》（Hide Yourself Away）这本书的，坦白说，一开始是被它的名字吸引，觉得它可能讲的是关于某种逃避现实的故事。结果，阅读的过程完全超出了我的想象。它并不是简单地描绘逃避，而是深入探讨了“逃遁”的本质，以及这种行为背后隐藏的更深层次的心理需求。作者通过一系列精心编排的事件，展现了人物在面对困境时，如何一步步走向“自我放逐”，以及这种放逐所带来的，并非是解脱，而是另一种形式的束缚。我被书中那种淡淡的忧伤和对人性的洞察所打动，它没有刻意去煽情，也没有强行灌输任何道理，而是让读者自己去感受，去思考。书中的某些段落，特别是关于回忆和失落的部分，让我想起了自己曾经的经历，那种酸楚和怀念的情绪被勾勒得淋漓尽致。这本书教会了我，有时候，真正的“逃遁”，并非是离开一个地方，而是找到一个属于自己的内心空间。
不得不说，《逃遁》（Hide Yourself Away）这本书在我心中留下了一道深刻的印记，它不是那种读完就忘的书，而是会让你在之后的日子里时不时地回味，甚至在某个不经意的瞬间，书中某个情节、某句话会突然浮现在脑海中，让你重新思考。我最欣赏的是作者在人物塑造上的功力，即使是那些出场不多的小配角，也都被赋予了鲜明的个性和复杂的动机，仿佛他们都拥有自己完整的人生故事。主人公的成长轨迹尤其令人动容，她身上那种挣扎、迷失，以及最终寻找到自我力量的过程，让我看到了普通人身上蕴含的巨大韧性。我常常会停下来，思考她为什么会做出那样的选择，以及这些选择又将她引向何方。书中的一些对话设计也相当巧妙，它们看似平淡，却暗藏玄机，通过字里行间的留白，让读者去解读人物的真实想法和情感。这本书不像很多流行小说那样追求戏剧化的冲突，而是更注重对人物心理的挖掘，它就像一面镜子，映照出我们每个人内心深处可能存在的犹豫、不安和渴望。
《逃遁》（Hide Yourself Away）这本书，可以说是一次非常独特的阅读体验。它的叙事风格非常“碎片化”，不像传统的小说那样线性推进，而是通过一系列看似不相关的场景和人物的内心独白，一点点地拼凑出一个完整的故事图景。这种方式一开始可能会让一些读者感到困惑，但一旦你进入了作者构建的世界，就会发现这种结构恰恰是它最吸引人的地方。它迫使你去主动参与到故事的构建中，去思考人物之间的关联，去解读那些隐藏在字缝里的信息。我尤其喜欢作者对时间的处理，它不是严格按照时间顺序来的，而是充满了回溯和跳跃，这让整个故事显得更加迷离和富有诗意。读这本书的时候，我感觉自己像是在探索一个复杂的迷宫，每一步都可能遇到意想不到的转折，但也正是这种探索的过程，让我对故事和人物有了更深层次的理解。它不是一本轻松的读物，需要你投入更多的耐心和思考，但当你读完之后，那种成就感和对书中世界的理解，是其他很多书无法比拟的。
我最近读完了一本叫做《逃遁》（Hide Yourself Away）的书，说实话，在拿起它之前，我并没有抱太大的期望。我一直是个比较喜欢那种情节跌宕起伏、故事节奏明快的小说的人，而这本书的封面和书名给我的感觉，似乎是某种更偏向于内省、缓慢叙事的风格。然而，我真的错了。这本书以一种出人意料的方式抓住了我，并让我沉浸其中。作者的文字有一种奇特的魔力，它不像那种直接的叙述，而是像在一点一点地剥开洋葱，层层递进，让你在不经意间就对角色的内心世界产生了深刻的共鸣。我特别喜欢书中对环境的描写，那些细致入微的笔触，将读者带入了一个仿佛触手可及的真实场景，无论是那潮湿的林间小径，还是那被阳光洒满的窗台，都充满了生命力，也为角色的情感变化增添了独特的背景。有时候，我甚至觉得我能闻到书页里散发出的泥土和旧书的味道。这本书让我重新审视了“平静”的意义，它不仅仅是外在的宁静，更是一种内在的安抚。我强烈推荐给那些愿意花时间去体会生活细微之处、去感受角色内心波澜的读者。
我向来对那些描绘现实生活，却又能从中提炼出哲学思考的作品情有独钟，而《逃遁》（Hide Yourself Away）无疑是其中的佼佼者。它没有华丽的辞藻，也没有惊心动魄的情节，但却以一种不动声色的方式，触动了人心最柔软的部分。书中的人物，仿佛就是我们生活中的普通人，他们有自己的烦恼，有自己的遗憾，也有自己的渴望。作者并没有试图去美化他们，而是真实地展现了他们的脆弱和不完美。我尤其被书中关于“失去”和“选择”的讨论所吸引。在人生的旅途中，我们总会面临各种各样的选择，而这些选择，往往会把我们引向不同的方向，也让我们失去一些东西。这本书让我重新审视了自己的过往，也让我对未来多了一些思考。它就像一位智者，用平静的语气，讲述着关于生命、关于选择、关于成长的深刻道理，没有说教，只有引导。我真心觉得，这本书适合那些经历过一些人生起伏，对生活有一定感悟的读者。
