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.

Well, I may have been mistaken...

In one, or more, of my reviews of James Patterson's "Private" Series I've said that one thing I like about them is they're not formulaic..."Private London" is so similar to "The Games" that I may have to eat my words. Still a very good read/listen. I guess I'll have to read/listen to a few more and see how it goes. I'm hoping this is a one time incident. I'm hoping the remaining books don't fall into the formulaic category. I'm keeping an open mind...

Not my favorite, still a good story though.

This book is a little more dry than the other books written by James Patterson. Just an okay story.

Great narrator!

The narrator had a wealth of voices and accents for the many characters, which made listening quite enjoyable.

Not a bad storyline but not enough depth.

Storyline was predictable and only the main caricature had any depth. Not one of the best of the private series.

Quick moving

Don't look for any deep meanings or sub plots. This one is pretty predictable. That being said, it moves quickly and the narration is very good.

Love the Private series!

Great mystery! Can't go wrong with Patterson and the Private series is exciting to read. I hope the next one has more of Jack in it.

Private London kept me glued to my IPhone

I did not want to put my IPhone down. I needed a trip so I could enjoy non stop listening to this book. I can't wait to finish the rest of the series
