Editorial reviews

Editors Select, June 2014 - In typical James Patterson fashion, Invisible was suspenseful, fast-paced, and filled with twists and turns. The story follows Emmy Dockery, a brash and outspoken FBI analyst who is convinced that a string of supposedly accidental deaths is actually the work of one unknown serial killer. Dismissed by both her family and the Bureau, Emmy must find the link between these closed cases before more lives are claimed. Patterson and Ellis did a spectacular job with both character development and plotline. There was never a dull moment as the story built up to its twisted and surprising climax. I couldn’t put this book down – and with January LaVoy as the female narrator, I can’t wait to revisit this story in audio. –Laura, Audible Editor

Publisher's summary

Everyone thinks Emmy Dockery is crazy. Obsessed with finding the link between hundreds of unsolved cases, Emmy has taken leave from her job as an FBI researcher. Now all she has are the newspaper clippings that wallpaper her bedroom, and her recurring nightmares of an all-consuming fire.

Not even Emmy's ex-boyfriend, field agent Harrison "Books" Bookman, will believe her that hundreds of kidnappings, rapes, and murders are all connected. That is, until Emmy finds a piece of evidence he can't afford to ignore. More murders are reported by the day—and they're all inexplicable. No motives, no murder weapons, no suspects. Could one person really be responsible for these unthinkable crimes?

Invisible is James Patterson's scariest, most chilling stand-alone thriller yet.

Twisted and exciting!

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

I didn't read the print version, but I loved the audio edition.

What other book might you compare Invisible to and why?

From my recent Audible purchases, Stephen King's "Mr. Mercedes" had a very similar darkness. They are both chilling and ingenious with plot and outcome.

Which character – as performed by January LaVoy and Kevin Collins – was your favorite?

Kevin Collins was fantastic in his voice of the antagonist. Methodic and precise, just the way he was written to be.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Great voices and pace of reading. Kept me engaged the entire time!

Any additional comments?

This is so far my favorite audio book I've ever listened to. I couldn't wait to get back to listening when I'd have to take time away, for work or sleep or whatnot. Fantastic!

Extremely creepy

Far too creepy and gory for me. Crazy mild mannered guy burns young women. No thanks. (But the narration and production were good.)

Dislike for female lead ruined the story for me

The narrators were excellent. The story was good; however, the female lead character is totally unlikeable - spoiled, self-centered, stubborn and totally unfeeling towards anyone but herself. It ruined the story for me because I grew to dislike her more and more as the story went on and it was difficult to overlook the dislike to concentrate on the story. The exceptional narration kept me listening to the book, but I can't recommend it because in real life, I tend to avoid being around people like the female lead because they're so totally unaware of anyone in the world but themselves that it's always a one-sided conversation and/or friendship. Ruined the book for me.

Unbelievable main character

The overall story was good. There were enough small plot twists and story development to make this an interesting book to the end. The one character that made this listen almost worth setting aside was the main character Emmy. It wasn’t the voice, the voices were done well enough, it was the character herself - neurotic and narcissistic. What she does in some situations does not make sense for the character and some of the things she does and still stays on the case is preposterous. In the end I probably should have set this listen aside except I used it as a diversion while I was running on the treadmill at the gym.

Interesting plot about tenacios FBI analyst

The characters were realistic as were their relationships. Plot held my attention while driving on road trip (aka did not fall asleep while driving). I learned a bit about the strained relationships between analysts and FBI agents. I'd recommend it to others who want an easy to follow plot that you can pick up and put down between driving trips.
