The Black Book

De: James Patterson, David Ellis

Narrado por: Edoardo Ballerini

In this thrilling New York Times bestseller from the worlds most celebrated writer, three bodies are found in a Chicago bedroom at the same time a black book goes missing—leaving the city in more danger than the detectives on the case can handle.

Billy Harney was born to be a cop. As the son of Chicago's chief of detectives with a twin sister on the force, Billy plays it by the book. Teaming up with his adrenaline-junkie partner, Detective Kate Fenton, there's nothing he wouldn't sacrifice for his job. Enter Amy Lentini, a hard-charging assistant attorney hell-bent on making a name for herself who suspects Billy isn't the cop he claims to be. They're about to be linked by more than their careers.

A horrifying murder leads investigators to an unexpected address-an exclusive brothel that caters to Chicago's most powerful citizens. There's plenty of incriminating evidence on the scene, but what matters most is what's missing: the madam's black book. Now with shock waves rippling through the city's elite, everyone's desperate to find it.

As Chicago's elite scramble to get their hands on the elusive black book, no one's motives can be trusted. An ingenious, inventive thriller about power, corruption, and the secrets that can destroy a city, The Black Book is James Patterson at his page-turning best.

Just OK

Would you try another book from James Patterson and David Ellis and/or Edoardo Ballerini?

No, I was disappointed this was my first James Patterson book & it wasn't that great.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Just ok.

What three words best describe Edoardo Ballerini’s voice?

Annoying - trying so hard to have a "tough guy" persona.

Do you think The Black Book needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No I wouldn't buy a second one.

Good.

It's a good story but the narrator butchers the entire thing. They should have picked somebody else to narrate the book.

great book, surprise who done it,well written

beautifully narrated, I will get another book written by this author and another book by this narrator.

Good story but ending is predictible

The main character's accent is annoying but the book is good in spite of this.
