The Neighborhood

De: Matthew Betley

Narrado por: George Newbern

“Die Hard in a gated community.”—Chris Hauty, national bestselling author of Deep State and Storm Rising

From the critically acclaimed author of Overwatch and other titles in the Logan West Thriller series, comes a can’t-miss, brand-new thriller that proves Matthew Betley is the modern master of the unputdownable thriller.

It was supposed to be just another ordinary night …

What happens when your neighborhood harbors a secret so destructive that dangerous men are willing to kill for it?

Welcome to Hidden Refuge, a normal American subdivision full of normal American suburbanites. At least that’s what the citizens thought before men impersonating police officers show up on their doorsteps in the middle of the night. Once the entire community is under siege, so begins a long, dark night that will prove to be anything but ordinary.

But Zack Chambers, suburban family man and programmer by trade, has his own secret. One he had dearly hoped that he’d never need to use again. The deadly ex-CIA agent and trained operative plots to take back the night, doing whatever it takes to protect his neighborhood.

In the face of a small army of trained killers, he’s got his wits, his babysitter, his equally lethal brother, and a ragtag group of neighbors willing to help.

Action-packed and relentless with twists and turns and old scores to be settled, this propulsive and brilliantly plotted can’t-miss thriller brings a shocking end you won’t see coming. Fans of Matthew Betley’s trademark blend of gritty realism and edge-of-your-seat action will be delighted.

Good Story Telling

Liked the story but not the flash back moments. Needed stay in the present time.

The performance was excellent.

I have always enjoyed the break neck action and attention to detail. It reminds me of the Scarecrow novels by Reilly.

A bit so Gated, Gated Community.

A very entertaining story. Espionage that escalates into action & violence right inside a peaceful & quiet gated community. Clever use of language adds a smile & appealing characters make for an all round enjoyable and well written story.

it was hard to stop listening!

this was really a good book and it was hard to stop listening because it kept me interested and I really like the plot of the story. it was very well written and the narrator did a great job.

Better than expected!!

This is a great story and it is performed well. It far exceeded my expectations and I’m glad I gave it a chance. Great action, unexpected heroes and plenty of plot twists.

☆George, you are my favorite narrator. ☆
Mathew, I love your writing style. Detailed, understandable & exciting. I listened straight through to the end. I love how the story unfolds and how the value of military training still brings life to their souls. Huge thanks for a GREAT book.

Nice story with historical memories.

The narrator is amazing. I listen to him on some other books, and he does such an outstanding job. The book itself is an interesting story about life after service that he continues to haunt good book will look for the next episode, when released.

Great Performance

Voice reminded me of Ed Harris. Good story, but does require attention to keep timeline and players straight. Would definitely be interested in more by this author and this voice actor.

Great!

I really enjoyed this book! I listen to audiobooks while sewing. I got a lot of work done in my sewing room listening to this book. Very intriguing.

Can’t believe I found this!

One of the best books I’ve heard in a while. I really enjoyed the story and was very exciting. Thank you!
