One of the Best Books of the Year
Time * NPR * Washington Post * Bloomberg News * Chicago Tribune * Chicago Public Library * Fortune * Los Angeles Times * E! News * The Telegraph * Apple * Library Journal

In this newly updated edition of the "meticulous and devastating" (Associated Press) account of violence and espionage that spent months on the New York Times Bestsellers list, Ronan Farrow exposes serial abusers and a cabal of powerful interests hell-bent on covering up the truth, at any cost—from Hollywood to Washington and beyond.

In 2017, a routine network television investigation led to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywood's most power­ful producers was a predator, protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move, and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family. This is the untold story of the exotic tactics of surveillance and intimidation deployed by wealthy and connected men to threaten journalists, evade accountability, and silence victims of abuse. And it's the story of the women who risked everything to expose the truth and spark a global movement

"Meticulous and devastating...part All the President's Men, part spy thriller."—Rasha Madkour, Associated Press

"At the heart of every great noir is a conspiracy of evil that imbues the initial crime uncovered by the hero with a weightier resonance than was immediately obvious. So it goes with Catch and Kill."—Elizabeth Bruenig, The Washington Post

"The connections between presidents, media moguls, and spies described in Catch and Kill are stranger than fiction. As a novel, it would be a page-turner. As a reported piece of nonfiction, it's terrifying."—Eliana Dockterman, Time

Riveting

I’m not the biggest fan of these types of books but I’m a huge Ronan Farrow fan (and a friend of The Pod) so I had to read this one. I found the writing remarkably engaging, poignant and occasionally funny. A must read to really understand how our world works these days.

Favorite bit was Jonathan telling Ronan to tip the taxi driver really well since he had just had an emotional breakdown in the back seat.

Better in print, perhaps

This book is both entertaining and deeply important. I am i pressed with Farrow’s perseverance, honesty and articulate storytelling. His hand in bringing down a system that abused and silenced women for decades should never be forgotten.

BUT- I wish I had read this in print instead of listening to the audiobook. I found Farrow’s impressions and accents deeply distracting and at times, ridiculous. I am baffled that a producer would sign off on this bizarre approach. I wonder how some of the brave interview subjects feel about his impressions of their voices??

Great & important story..,but

Have great respect for Ronan Farrow & applaud his courage & tenacity..,but would have enjoyed listening much more with a straightforward narration. Found accents distracting & off-putting.

Fantastic book, questionable accents

Loved the book, excellent work by Ronan Farrow. However his accent work, well, it leaves something to be desired. Otherwise, fantastic. Highly recommend the book!

I hope somebody learns a darn lesson

Well, fascinating ... disgusting ... not surprising and yet, shocking. The way some rich and powerful men in this world behave is mind boggling. Every single one who gets caught and their money can't save them, is a small bit of justice. They cannot fall hard enough as far as I'm concerned.

If you don't know, this book is primarily about the investigative reporting into sexual assault/harassment allegations against Harvey Weinstein and others and the lengths that both Weinstein and NBC went to in order to bury the story. I mean, not only was his behavior reprehensible but don't worry there was more reprehensible right around to corner to protect it. I guess I'm angrier about all this than I realized, LOL.

The book was well-written and well-paced. Fairly comprehensive. Parts of it felt like fiction. What just absolutely BOGGLES my mind is - how much sex does a person need to have in their lives? And with how many partners? Good lord, I just don't get it.

Probably would have been a 5-star read, but I did the audio. Farrow read it himself, and he was actually a great narrator until he did the accents. This is a serious topic. Don't cheapen it with your caricatures - I know your mom is Mia Farrow, but there's a time and place and I didn't feel this was the time for Russian spy voice, Trump and Woody Allen impressions, etc. So I dropped a star for that. Sorry, Ronan. Other than that, it was great.

Eye opening, infuriating, and inspiring.

Thank you Ronan for never giving up. Your efforts have helped and will continue to help women for generations to come.

an amazing and needed journalistic journey

this books is truly amazing and was much needed. the conspiracy is deep and I learned so much and am forever changed.

you'll also not find a bigger Ronan Farrow fan then me, I think his journalistic integrity is beyond reproach and I devour everything he puts out.

that said, Bruh, what are you doing with these accents!? they're bad. real bad. and they undercut the performance and importance of the book and ate distracting. in War on Peace, you did accents too but I thought maybe you learned a lesson. please hire actors or don't do the accents. please.
