Dead Watch

De: John Sandford

Narrado por: Richard Ferrone

Through 21 novels featuring Lucas Davenport, Kidd, or the razor-edge world of the Night Crew, John Sandford has been writing brilliantly suspenseful, consistently surprising thrillers filled with rich characters and exceptional drama.

But Dead Watch sets a whole new level.

Early morning, Virginia, and a woman is on the run. Her husband, a former U.S. Senator, has been missing for days. Kidnapped? Murdered? She doesn't know, but she thinks she knows who's involved, and why. And that she's next.

Hours later in Washington, D.C., a cell phone rings. The White House chief of staff needs Jacob Winter now. His chief investigator and an Army Intelligence veteran, Winter knows how to move quickly and decisively, but he's never faced a problem like this. The disappearances are bad, but when the blackened body shows up barbed-wired to a tree, Winter knows there is much worse to come. And soon enough, there is. Large forces are at work, determined to do whatever it takes to achieve their ends. Winter will have to use all his resources not only to prevail but also to survive. And so will the nation.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Sandford...displays an insider's knowledge of political infighting and couples it with his skill at creating memorable characters working through the maze of a diabolical plot." (Booklist)

Political Thriller

This isn't your usual John Sandford "Prey" mystery. You might think it was written by a different man -- and it's great! Unlike many political thrillers, this one is easy to follow -- there are conspiracies and surprises -- but you never feel as though you got lost in a maze. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good whodunit.

another Riveting Sanford book

Every book of John Sanfords Ive listened to have been execellent, great Narration, Story and enough twists and turns to keep you entertained.

This book is no different. I think the book took a little longer than his others to get interesting but since this is a new character he needed to spend more time developing the characters.

easy read

went by quickly. exciting enough. not too long. after listening I found that I had read it before but I still enjoyed it the second time.

An Outstanding Book

This is an outstanding book and the reader makes it more so.
The story is excellent and the plot intriguing.

J Patterson books

I have enjoyed most of the Patterson books I have read. Some stories better than others. I have recently tried two books on audible … didn’t care for either. Is it because I’m listening? Could they be better for reading than listening? Saving credits for other authors. Will continue to read Patterson.

good, good, good

The storyline kept me entertained to the end. A little different from his other leading characters. With the same way of keeping you engaged to the end.

an early version of Lucas Davenport?:)

The politics were believable, and the story line kept me involved and awake. All in all a good read!

Lucas it isn't

Not bad but not as good as the prey series. I found Winters role a bit unbelievable. I would not rush to listen to the next Winter series.

Candi

This book was really good on what goes behind the politics and very good characters. Really enjoyed this book

One of his bests!

A great book!
Interesting characters, great suspense, a very good plot. Quite timely during this election season, even though the book was written years ago.
