Publisher's summary

One by one, children of New York's wealthiest are taken hostage. But the criminal doesn't crave money or power - he only wants to ask the elite if they know the price others pay for their luxurious lifestyles. And, if they don't, he corrects their ignorance - by killing them.

To Detective Michael Bennett, it becomes clear that these murders are linked and must be part of a greater, more public demonstration. With the city thrown into chaos, he is forced to team up with FBI agent Emily Parker, and the two set out to capture the killer before he begins his most public lesson yet - a deadly message for the entire city to witness.

From the best-selling author who brought you the Alex Cross novels comes James Patterson's most action-packed series yet. With the heart-pounding suspense that only Patterson delivers, Worst Case will leave you gasping for breath until the very end.

exciting and grooming for the whole 6+hours

exciting book on audio for the 6 plus hours of a road trip. sometimes the character's voices didn't really make sense but besides that it was a pretty good audiobook, gripping for the whole time.

Great police story,but did not care for the woman

Good story, would recommend to anyone who enjoys crime stories. Listening was enjoyable, Patterson is great.

Enough with the sound effects already!

story was great (as always), but I HATED THE SOUND EFFECTS - the spookymusic(?) in the background - and especially the various characters sobbing and crying! I would much prefer just a simple narration - it doesn't need to sound like a radio melodrama!

Not fond of the sound effects

1st book in the series was the best -especially the narrator. Now, they’ve added the sound of a man crying. the sound of a gun shot, etc. Not enjoyable when listening to a book. It feels like a bad movie where they only remembered to include the audio portion. Also the plot was the same as the previous book in the series - easy to predict what’s going to happen next.

love it... good interesting read

Would you consider the audio edition of Worst Case to be better than the print version?

love the readers in this so it made the storyline even better and interesting. especially love the person readin for Mike Bennett!

Good story

pauses between chapters took away from a other wise good story, unnecessary and very annoying.

Predicable, but good

The story is follows a very predicable trajectory, but is classic Patterson and thus enjoyable.

As Always

James Patterson engages the reader from the beginning. Fast paced, never a dull chapter. Good read.

Kept me in suspense...

Loved it, great story line. enjoyed every minute of it. Can't wait for the next one.

was a great listen!

I listened while working. The story line is good, I enjoy this series with Det. Mike Bennett.
