Tony has always looked out for his younger brother, Nick. So when he's called to a hospital bed where Nick is lying battered and bruised after a violent sexual assault, his protective instincts flare, and a white-hot rage begins to build. As a small-town New England lawyer, Tony's wife, Julia, has cases involving kids all the time. When Detective Rice gets assigned to this one, Julia feels they're in good hands. Especially because she senses that Rice, too, understands how things can quickly get complicated. Very complicated.

Story
The white-washed Italian villa is perfect. I thought it might feel odd, living in a stranger’s house for the summer, but as my husband and children swim in the infinity pool, I start to relax. And then, in the back of a wardrobe, I find something that shatters everything.... Sparkling green eyes, square jaw, lopsided smile. A young man with his arm around a beautiful woman. The picture is old and faded, but I’d recognize him anywhere. The man is my husband.

Little River, New York, 1994: April Sawicki is living in a motorless motorhome that her father won in a poker game. Failing out of school, picking up shifts at a local diner, she’s left fending for herself in a town where she’s never quite felt at home. When she “borrows” her neighbor’s car to perform at an open mic night, she realizes her life could be much bigger than where she came from. After a fight with her dad, April packs her stuff and leaves for good, setting off on a journey to find a life that’s all hers.

Publisher's Summary
Angie is awakened by a midnight call from an officer with the Boise Police Department and thinks there must be a misunderstanding. The officer tells her that her husband was involved in a shooting at a local bar, but how can that be when her husband is sleeping right next to her? But when she turns to wake him, he isn’t there.
Tessa is the 23-year-old bartender who escapes to a backroom storage closet during the shooting. When it comes to light that five people were killed, she is burdened with the question of why she survived.
Joyce wakes up to a knock at her front door, a knock she assumes is her wayward son, Jed, who must have lost his keys. It’s not Jed, though. Two police officers tell her that Jed is dead, shot at a bar. Then they deliver even worse news: “We have reason to believe your son was the shooter.”
So begins the story of three women tied together by tragic fate - a wife trying to understand why her now-comatose husband was frequenting a bar in the middle of the night, the young woman whom her husband was apparently pursuing, and a mother who is forced to confront the reality of who her son was and who she is.

fantastic audio involving contemporary issues
“No Hiding in Boise” is an outstanding novel examining the aftermath and ripple effects of mass shootings. I listened to the audio narrated Devon Sorvari, Stephanie Willing, Hillary Huber, and nine others. It sounds overwhelming in narrators, but the nine others are the victims who provide individual excerpts.
The three main narrators are Angie, Tessa, and Joyce. Angie begins the narration when the police call her at midnight to inform her that her husband has been shot and is in the hospital. Angie thought her husband was in bed with her, had no idea he was at a bar.
Tessa was the bartender at the bar where the shooting took place. When the shooting began, she was paralyzed by fear, and Kale, Angie’s husband, told her to run and hide. Tessa feels that Kale saved her.
Joyce, poor poor Joyce is the mother of the shooter, Jed. Jed is 28, lives with Joyce, and is an angry man. Joyce is the most sympathetic character for me. This is a mother to an adult man, who she knows isn’t happy, but didn’t see any indication that he would do this.
The story revolves around the three women and how they cope. As one can imagine, Joyce is horrified. She reflects, attempting to find what when wrong. A computer post begins about the shooting. In that, someone compares her to the mothers of the Columbine shooters. I personally felt that was wrong in that those were teen boys who had arsenals stored in their bedrooms and garage. Those mothers intentionally didn’t notice nor care. Those mothers are legally responsible for their teen children. Joyce allowed her young adult son to live in her house. No firearms were in his bedroom or garage. What Joyce could be found guilty of, is allowing a depressed son to live in her home. What parent hasn’t allowed that?
But I digress. I absolutely found this story fascinating. Author Kim Hooper disperses in her story, narratives from the victims and wounded survivors. These narratives added dimension to the story.
There are a couple of plot twists that increases the psychological depth. Given our unfortunate time in America with regard to mass shootings, I found this to be timely and fascinating. Mental health is a true issue in these shootings and as a culture, we need to address how we can proactively reduce the risks. Anger issues also come into play. In America, if you cut someone off, you risk being shot at as evidenced recently in California. As a society we are an angry group.
There are so many layers that go into play with shootings. It’s not just gun laws we need to examine. We need to examine all the issues.
I highly recommend this audio. I assume the books would be just as grand. I felt the different narrators did add impact. This audio will stay with me for a long time!

Consequences
A compelling story examine the consequences of random acts. The characters and shifting POV build suspense and compassion for all of the victims. Maybe there were a few too many coincidences as the story built to the finale, but I’m willing to accept that because the story is so good. ❤️ this book.

Emotional and thought provoking
I loved having all the different voices for each character, the perspectives of this tragedy and it’s aftermath.
The story was moving and especially the voice of the mother of the shooting I found surprisingly relatable. While it does touch on the reality of the easy access of guns this is in no way an anti-gun story. It is so much more complex and has so many layers than that. I’m so glad I listened.
