Private London

De: James Patterson, Mark Pearson

Narrado por: Rupert Degas

Private goes on the hunt for London's most feared killer since Jack the Ripper.

For Hannah Shapiro, a young American student, the nightmare began eight years ago in Los Angeles, when the owner of Private--the world's most exclusive detective agency--saved her from a horrific death. Now, after eight years, the terror follows her to London. The only man who can help is former Royal Military Police Sergeant Dan Carter, head of Private London.

In London, young women are being abducted and their bodies found mutilated in a grotesque, mysterious way. Carter's ex-wife, DI Kirsty Webb, leads the investigation into these brutal murders, which may somehow be linked to Hannah Shapiro.

Working together, the two investigators are caught in a desperate race against the odds. Private may be the most advanced detection agency in the world...but can they catch a predator who rivals London's most elusive killer ever?

Will We Ever Get Just James Patterson Again?

I would love to see Mr. Patterson write a novel on his own. His would be clones just don't have his magic.

Awesome!!!

I absolutely love James Patterson! Having his books on Audible is the best! Cant wait to start the next one

cookie cutter but entertaining

Similar to other private books. fun, fast paced story with the requisite twists and turns. enjoyable car ride book

I fell in love with the character.

Rupert Degas should narrate all of Pattersons books.
I'm never disappointed with a book from J Patterson
I really like this Private series.

Great listen overall, I recommend it

Great plot, interesting characters. The narrator is engaging, except when he tries to perform female characters, which is almost comical. Fortunately, the majority of the story revolved around male characters, so I was able to overlook it, but I would find it distracting if there was more dialogue by female characters.

A little disjointed but still entertaining

Each chapter is about 2-3 mins max which means as soon as it becomes clear what's going on there is an interruption. There were also two crimes one of which resolved itself in an unsatisfactory way. The way that it is written it is hard to care about the second crime. Worth the credit? Only if you're a fan of the series or if you are looking for something new

Kept Me Guessing & Held My Interest

What made the experience of listening to Private London the most enjoyable?

The narrator was able to create distinct multiple characters that made it seem like listening to a story read by a cast.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Private London?

The shock revelation.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The sense of betrayal of a young woman.

Exceptional read

What made the experience of listening to Private London the most enjoyable?

Great story, but the salient feature was the reader. His characters' voices were unique and consistent. His volume level was perfect; too many readers tend to lower their voices, which may be fine in a house, but can be frustrating in a car. One character used the "F" word, which we would prefer not to hear. Otherwise, riveting and well done.

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

A first, but we shall look for his name.

Entertaining Story

What did you love best about Private London?

This was an easy read. The story line was a little predictable but still worth the read.

Which scene was your favorite?

When he killed the professor.

Not Patterson's best work

The story is somewhat hard to follow. Narrator does some really weird and distracting voices. But overall an entertaining listen :)
