Publisher's summary

Unforgettable characters, sizzling romance, and riveting suspense: These are the trademarks of beloved author Judith McNaught.

With millions of devoted fans and 10 New York Times best-sellers to date, McNaught is a writer whose work just gets better with each new novel - and Every Breath You Take is the book fans have been waiting for.

Returning to the lavish Chicago setting of her popular novel Paradise, and revisiting some of that book’s characters as well, this story will captivate in inimitable Judith McNaught style.

High atop a snow-covered hill, the stately old Wyatt mansion is perched like a crown, its stone spires pointing upward, its stained glass windows glowing like colorful jewels. Such opulence means success and, surely, happiness. But on the eve of wealthy philanthropist Cecil Wyatt’s 80th birthday, all the money in the world won’t bring back his missing grandson, William Wyatt. The only thing for certain: Foul play was involved.The family, the police, the media - all have tried in vain to discover the young man’s fate. Now suspicion has turned shockingly toward William’s own half-brother, the rather distant and enigmatic Mitchell Wyatt.

Kate Donovan never dreamed that a chance romantic encounter on a tropical island paradise would tag her as a suspect in a high-society murder case. But after Kate tangles with the darkly charismatic Mitchell Wyatt, she finds herself cast in a shadow of guilt and mistrust. As the Chicago police tighten their net, it will take all of Kate’s ingenuity to clear her name. With her calm, cool wit, and the help of a man who may or may not be a dangerous catch, Kate vows to claim the life and love she desires.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Chemistry in the real world.

Any additional comments?

I've yet to read a Judith McNaught book that I did not absolutely love. Filled with actions not a bunch of descriptions that are detailed to death.

MY ABSOLUTE ALL TIME FAVORITE - WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE

Would you consider the audio edition of Every Breath You Take to be better than the print version?

Hard to beat Susan Denaker as a narrator, especially this book.

What did you like best about this story?

The character development and interaction of Mitchell & Kate

Have you listened to any of Susan Denaker’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, She is of my favorites. Just wish she narrated more in the Romance genre.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

A little of both but most of all the story and the anticipation.

Any additional comments?

I don't understand why Audible does not have more Judith McNaught books especially all of the ones in this series. I listened to the others on cassettes years ago but would love to see them in Audible. EBYT is a keeper for sure. I have re-listened to it many times. Please Audible get the other books in this series.

Good story

Some glitches with the audio that were annoying. Maybe once a chapter or so the narrator will repeat a line.

Even better the second time around!

Love this story the first time around. Audible made it even better. Can’t wait for the third time. 😁

A FAVORITE OF MINE BUT WHERE IS BOOK 1 - 3?

Any additional comments?

I enjoy her books but have a pet peeve with either Audible or Publisher. I hate when a whole series is not available. This is book 4. Where is 1 - 3?

Extremely enjoyable

I’m happy that this book still brings me joy today. My grandmother gave it to me as a gift before she passed away. It’s been my favorite book ever since. I’m happy that this is on here. I looked for years hoping to find an audio version.

very enjoyable book as always from Judith

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

yes! From the beginning to the end, I was interested in this story.

What other book might you compare Every Breath You Take to and why?

I love all of Judith's books

Enjoyed the story 100%. Great narration. More ..

Hoping to see more audiobooks by Judith McNaught. I finished the whole thing in 2 days!

Love Judith McNaught!

Where does Every Breath You Take rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

From the perspective of plot, depth of characters, this book ranks high. Overall performance ranks very low, painful listening.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Susan Denaker?

YES! Pace much too slow; made listening to the book frustrating. In summary -- a great book, but terrible narration. The abridged version had a much more suitable narrator; please go back to that person.

Amazing

Judith McNaught is a masterful storyteller. You will laugh and you will cry and most definitely be entertained. And if your anything like me you will be disappointed when it's ended but happy because there are more great novels of hers to enjoy.
