Publisher's summary

The next explosive book in James Patterson's number-one best-selling Private series!

For Hannah Shapiro, a beautiful young American student, this particular nightmare began eight years ago in Los Angeles, when Jack Morgan, owner of Private—the world's most exclusive detective agency—saved her from a horrific death. She has fled her country, but can't flee her past. The terror has followed her to London, and now it is down to former Royal Military Police Sergeant Dan Carter, head of Private London, to save her all over again.

In central London, young women are being abducted off the street. When the bodies are found some days later, they have been mutilated in a particularly mysterious way. Dan Carter's ex-wife, DI Kirsty Webb, is involved in the investigation and it looks likely that the two cases are gruesomely linked.

Dan Carter drawn on the whole resources of Private International in a desperate race against the odds. But the clock is ticking....

Private may be the largest and most technologically advanced detection agency in the world, but the one thing they don't have is the one thing they need—time.

Life time of abduction

So far I must say this book is my favorite book out of this series, just the suspense alone from the beginning of the book will have you hooked and you have to listen to the whole book in one sitting. This book was soo good I listened to it twice because I knew there were different little clues I had missed the first time when I listened to it. I really like the Rupert Degas reading these books, the way he changes the tone and his voice, he makes this book even better, you can close your eyes listen to him read and get a good visual of what the character looks like and their actions at the time he is reading. Each story has different characters from the last story but Jack Morgan remains the same in each story since he owns Private worldwide. In this book one female's life has been filled with Jack Morgan, it all started when she was younger and Jack saved her from the people who abducted her and her mother, unfortunately Jack was not quick enough to save her mother, years later as the young lady has grown up now she is encountered again with the same situation being abducted.. Jack races against time to save her once again from her abductors.

Suspense and Intrigue in True Patterson Style

I'm a huge James Patterson fan as much as I love my romance novels. PRIVATE is yet another great series in Patterson's repertoire. This series usually has multiple plot lines and this installment of private weaves quite the interesting story. I was pretty stumped throughout so if you want a good "whodunnit" this is it! There are several layers of characters and twists and turns so be ready to pay attention and you wont be disappointed.

Ok

Sometimes a bit difficult to follow...the narrator is easy to follow but the story sometimes is not but overall it's ok

Interesting, but not up to original

I enjoyed it enough to finish, but overall it was not up to the entertainment value of the original Private, which is so good that it got me hooked.

Loved Rupert

An audio book relies on its narrator. It can be a great book but if the narrator has no personality the book falls flat. Rupert Degas does a magnificent job depicting the characters in this book, giving them a life of their own. I’ll look for more books with him as a narrator!

Excellent James Patterson book as always

I was only disappointed that the character of Jack Morgan s voice was different from the last Private book.

Pretty good "read!"

Would you listen to Private London again? Why?

Yes, it was fast-paced and kept adding twists and turns to keep things moving and kept my interest throughout.

What does Rupert Degas bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His pace, accent and presentation make the book come alive.

Any additional comments?

Would recommend this book for light reading!
