Publisher's summary

Matthew Bannon, a poor art student living in New York City, finds a duffel bag filled with diamonds during a chaotic attack at Grand Central Station. Plans for a worry-free life with his gorgeous girlfriend, Katherine, fill his thoughts - until he realizes that he is being hunted, and that whoever is after him won't stop until they have reclaimed the diamonds and exacted their revenge.

Trailing him is the Ghost, the world's greatest assassin, who has just pulled off his most high-profile hit: killing Walter Zelvas, a top member of the international Diamond Syndicate. There's only one small problem: the diamonds he was supposed to retrieve from Zelvas are missing. Now, the Ghost is on Bannon's trail - but so is a rival assassin who would like nothing more than to make the Ghost disappear forever.

From "America's #1 storyteller" (Forbes) comes a high-speed, high-stakes, winner-take-all thrill ride of adrenaline-fueled suspense.

I want more

I loved this and wish Paterson would do more on "the Ghost" like he did with Alex Cross.

Interesting twists but NYPD Red reigns!!!!

This story had a few great twists and was worth the credit. Try BUT definitely LISTEN to the NYOD Red series!!!

Predictable with a few twists

Great read for me! I assumed that someone would want their booty returned. Then, on to the hunt and chase. I thoroughly enjoyed the expected turning into unexpected, couldn't stop listening.

Mr. Patterson does not disappoint.

Would you listen to Kill Me If You Can again? Why?

Yes, the story was engaging and moved nicely.

What other book might you compare Kill Me If You Can to and why?

Catch me if you can

Which scene was your favorite?

When we found out the identity of the ghost.

Any additional comments?

Would like to see this as a series.

Wow this has to top my list of Great Mysteries

I can't say enough about this book it has to be 1 of my favorites The ghost Surprise me as to who he really was Thank you for this excellent book

Disappointing

I am a huge fan of Patterson but his co-writers are basically hit or miss. I was expecting a fast pace well written and thrilling story, but what I got was a somewhat cheezy romance novel.

Horrible

Worst Patterson by far. Ridiculous and unbelievable story, To off set that he added more graphic and unnecessary sex scenes.

Boring

I really James Patterson and I was hoping, with this book, that I could find something I couldn't stop listening too. This just didn't hold my attention. I got through the first few chapters and then stopped. Just too boring.

Ugh...save your credit

I never write reviews and I usually don't read them, but if I can save you the pain of listening to this, it's worth a try. The writing is choppy and terribly sappy, it sounds like something a 6th grader has submitted as a project. I'm not sure how Patterson is still selling books, but the last several I have read have been a waste of time. Listening to this one confirmed it for me! And what is it with his calling out name brands of items, does he get a kickback from Creme de la Mer and Boss Hugo??? The narrator tries to give it life, but I think Patterson's lost his mojo!!

Don't Ask Me to Support This Storyline

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I think all Patterson fans will be disappointed.

What do you think your next listen will be?

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest

Have you listened to any of Jeff Woodman and Jason Culp ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, and I won't

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Yes, of course but not enough to make me swallow this premise. Don't want to give away the twist in this story. I will just say I could not find it in my mind to accept the lead character's profession. Shame on you for asking us to like this person.

Any additional comments?

I wish Mr. Patterson would write his novels by himself. This is the second novel by a team that I have found repulsive. The Swimsuit was violent and pornographic way beyond Mr. Patterson's normal violent stories.
