Publisher's summary

It's the start of Hollywood on Hudson, and New York City is swept up in the glamour. Every night, the red carpet rolls out for movie stars arriving at premieres in limos; the most exclusive restaurants close for private parties for wealthy producers and preeminent directors; and thousands of fans gather with the paparazzi, hoping to catch a glimpse of the most famous and beautiful faces in the world. With this many celebrities in town, special task force NYPD Red is on high alert - and they can't afford to make a single mistake.

Then a world-renowned producer fatally collapses at his power breakfast, and top NYPD Red Detective Zach Jordan is the first one on the scene. Zach works with his beautiful new partner, Detective Kylie MacDonald - who also happens to be his ex-girlfriend - to discover who the murderer might be. But this is only the beginning: the most brutal, public, and horrifyingly spectacular crimes they've ever encountered are about to send all of New York into chaos, putting NYPD Red on the ropes.

Zach and Kylie know there's no way of telling what a killer this deranged will do next. With the whole world watching, they have to find a way to stop a psychopath who has scripted his finale down to the last explosive detail. With larger-than-life action, relentless speed, and white-knuckle twists, NYPD Red is the next mega-blockbuster from "The Man Who Can't Miss." (TIME)

NYPD RED

I loved the narration of Jay Snyder. He was the main reason I bought the book. The Story was OK.

must listen!

I loved this! I could stand to hear a little more about Kylie and her bot husband, and maybe more about how hot the officer she is partnered is lol, but a great story

great story, bad voice over

the story was great but the next one I have to read because the voice reminds me of a cliche 80s voice

Yeah… Taut As A J-Lo Dress

Too often big-foot writers outsource something to smaller-shoe collaborators and the results read like a camel instead of a horse. Not here. I don't know how much of this is Marshall Karp's doing but the mix WORKS!

Zack Jordan and Kylie MacDonald are tugged and fit together like Jennifer Lopez's red-carpet outfits. The plot in NYPD Red's like a NASCAR engine… purring at warp speed yet quietly and confidently. This will be a new series, right? Got to be.

BTW, don't know the story about the two readers or which is which but it seemed that a substitution was made about 80% of the way in. The replacement carried the ball to score.

Here's what I want in an Audible mystery/thriller…characters, plot-driven AND driving action, and a puzzle that's intelligently solved at the end. Oh, and a buzz of sexual tension's a useful blob of epoxy to hold my attention. NYPD Red's got it all.

MORE! MORE!

I was There.

I enjoyed the audio book. It makes feel like I'm right there in all the scenes

Meh

It's basically a Harliquin romantic novel with the plot to an ok episode of Law and Order thrown over it.

The bomber

Another very good James Patterson book. The story had hundreds of turns thru out each chapter, you were constantly trying to figure out the next move of the killer. In the end justice prevailed as usual. Happy reading.

Excellent

Enjoyed the book, great story line. Like the pairing of the partners. Looking forward to book 2 and 3, which I already purchased.

Another one James Patterson’s good entertaining book

I really enjoyed this audiobook, this was my first ever audio book I’ve ever listened. Very nice experience, what I liked the most it was a James Patterson’s since I’ve been a fan for very long now.
I’m getting going for the NYPD Red 2.

James Patterson is fabulous!

This book was so well written. It was hard to put down, yet so easy to read. Patterson is a favorite of my husband and myself.
