The Winner

De: David Baldacci

Narrado por: Francis Cassidy

A rags-to-riches deal for single mother LuAnn Tyler is deadlier than she ever could have imagined in this #1 New York Times bestselling thriller from David Baldacci.

THE DREAM
She is twenty, beautiful, dirt-poor, and hoping for a better life for her infant daughter when LuAnn Tyler is offered the gift of a lifetime, a $100 million lottery jackpot. All she has to do is change her identity and leave the U.S. forever.

THE KILLER
It's an offer she dares to refuse...until violence forces her hand and thrusts her into a harrowing game of high-stakes, big-money subterfuge. It's a price she won't fully pay...until she does the unthinkable and breaks the promise that made her rich.

THE WINNER
For if LuAnn Tyler comes home, she will be pitted against the deadliest contestant of all: the chameleon-like financial mastermind who changed her life. And who can take it away at will...

A New Baldacci Approach

Would you listen to The Winner again? Why?

This was an interesting story with a totally different story line that the usual Baldacci. It was fun and interesting.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I kept wondering who it was - and did not guess until the story told who it was.

What about Frances Cassidy’s performance did you like?

Frances Cassidy is a good performer who made all the characters distinct and believable.

Good story, terrible monotonous narrator

This is a fast paced story, but the narration does not support the fast pace,

Equally good on the second listen!

This was the first audio book I had ever listened to. That was in 1999 on cassette tapes no less. Hundreds of listens later I wanted to hear this again because I had forgotten some details. Thoroughly enjoyed it.... Again!

The Winner

This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. Lots of action and a very good story. The book was fun and with many twists and turns. The story was very exciting right from the start to the very last page.

Amazing...one of the BEST!!

Not sure why it took me so long to read this one...action packed & hard to put down!!
