Dead Watch

De: John Sandford

Narrado por: Richard Ferrone

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Lucas Davenport novels delivers “a page-turner with a new hero, [and a] breakneck pace" (Minneapolis Star Tribune).

Former senator Lincoln Bowe, a Republican, has been missing for several days, setting off alarms on both sides of the political aisle. Finally, he is discovered in the remote Virginia woods, barb-wired to a tree, burned almost beyond recognition and missing his head. Democratic "research assistant" (read: fixer) Jacob Winter, ex–Army Intelligence, wounded in Afghanistan, is called in by the Democratic president to unravel an extremely messy situation and shield his office from any hint of scandal. As this runaway train picks up speed, innocents are murdered, and the guilty come to Jesus. . . .

"Sandford is a master at creating believable, indelible characters like Winter. . . . [He] is peerless when it comes to economical, taut plotting, most notably at building tension. Dead Watch is anything but politics as usual.”—San Antonio Express-News©2006 John Sandford; (P)2006 Penguin Audio, a member of Penguin Group (USA) Inc., and Recorded Books, LLC. All rights reserved.

Political Thriller

This isn't your usual John Sandford "Prey" mystery. You might think it was written by a different man -- and it's great! Unlike many political thrillers, this one is easy to follow -- there are conspiracies and surprises -- but you never feel as though you got lost in a maze. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good whodunit.

another Riveting Sanford book

Every book of John Sanfords Ive listened to have been execellent, great Narration, Story and enough twists and turns to keep you entertained.

This book is no different. I think the book took a little longer than his others to get interesting but since this is a new character he needed to spend more time developing the characters.

easy read

went by quickly. exciting enough. not too long. after listening I found that I had read it before but I still enjoyed it the second time.

An Outstanding Book

This is an outstanding book and the reader makes it more so.
The story is excellent and the plot intriguing.

J Patterson books

I have enjoyed most of the Patterson books I have read. Some stories better than others. I have recently tried two books on audible … didn’t care for either. Is it because I’m listening? Could they be better for reading than listening? Saving credits for other authors. Will continue to read Patterson.
