Private

De: James Patterson

Narrado por: Peter Hermann

Brought to you by Penguin.

If you have a big bank account and an even bigger problem, you're going to want Private on the case.

Former US Marine Jack Morgan runs Private, a renowned investigation company with branches around the globe. It is where you go when you need maximum force and maximum discretion. The most influential men and women on the planet come to Jack daily – and his investigators use the most advanced forensic tools to make and break their cases.
In L.A., Jack is already deep into the investigation of a multimillion-dollar gambling scandal and the killings of eighteen schoolgirls when he learns of a horrific murder close to home: his best friend's wife and Jack's former lover, has been killed. It nearly pushes him over the edge. Instead, Jack pushes back and devotes all of Private's resources to tracking down her killer.
And Jack doesn't have to play by the rules.

Excellent - couldn't stop listening

This is a great listen which went all too fast for me. The story is fast paced, interesting and believable. The characters are well developed and complex, particularly the hero. I can imagine Patterson using this as a base to launch a new series and I for one will be waiting eagerly for the next offering.

Gripping from start to finish.

Can't wait to listen to the next one! story was enthralling, performance was excellent and just leaves you wanting more.

Great Entertainment

Would you consider the audio edition of Private to be better than the print version?

Having not read the print version, it is not possible to say. However, since I really enjoy audiobooks. I really enjoyed this one.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The multiple story lines.

What about Peter Hermann’s performance did you like?

His voice impersonations

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

If you need help. Call Private!

great book

one of the best book I have had the pleasure listing to. Great write and narrated well.

Not up to James Patterson's usual standard

Is there anything you would change about this book?

It was as if they ran out of time or inspiration toward the end of the book. There wasn't the usual Patterson magic. It felt rushed and predictable. I remember thinking, "Really, is that it??"

Any additional comments?

It was an enjoyable story, but not one I would bother listening to again.

Not what I expected

Surely this was not a book by THE James Patterson. This is the crappiest book I’ve ever listened to. Don’t waste you time or money.

Cliche City

So many cliches, so much clumsy emotional angst.
Save yourself a few bucks and buy something else.
