Another great listen!

I really loved listening to this book along with the other three books in the Detective MIchael Bennett series. The story and readers were excellent in all of them. This is one of my favorite series of books. This series is good to listen to in order because of the character and family situation development. Also because all the books are so good that you don't want to miss out.

Fast Moving

James & Michael combo does it again! A good read and I really enjoyed. Family man still suprises you, good mystery. Keep them coming.

Tick Tock

Patterson does it again! I did not want the book to end! If you like suspense,you will enjoy this book.

RIGHT ON PAR WITH ALL THE MICHAEL BENNET STORYS

Would you consider the audio edition of Tick Tock: Michael Bennett, Book 4 to be better than the print version?

YES, AS THE STORY IS JUST BETTER THAN AVERAGE, BUT THE READER BRINGS THE STORY ALIVE IN A WAY THAT MAKES YOU PART OF IT. THIS MAKES THE STORY WAY BETTER THAN AVERAGE.

Have you listened to any of Bobby Cannavale and Scott Sowers ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

YES AND THEY ALWAYS DO AN EXCELLENT JOB, IN BRINGING THE STORY TO LIFE.

Wonderful vist with the Bennett family

His grandfather resorts to the ways of the past to resolve a family problem and Mike must decide if and with whom he will have a romantic relationship. If you love the Bennett family, you will love this one.

Enjoyed...

Good listen, liked the different narrators...fast paced. Would like Michael B to make up his mind about the poor nanny tho.

keeps your interest

I thought the story was very intriguing and kept my interest in anticipation of the next steps the Detective would take given all the odds against him.

Two voices...nice touch!

First time with mixed narration. One for the bad guys, one for the good.
I like this idea...especially with a Patterson book with much of the story in narrative.

not one of James Patterson best

good book I could tell James was writing with a partner book was drawn out

Nasally narrator

It’s really hard to listen too. I wonder why this narrator was used. Extra bad when performing women’s voices. Better to read this book then listen to it.
